⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Lifeline for Caregiver Burnout
"Caring for a sick loved one at home completely overwhelmed me, and I was running on empty. Dr. Mel McGee and her team provided a safe, non-judgmental space to process my exhaustion and guilt. Her clinical expertise combined with Christian values helped me regain my peace, learn how to set healthy boundaries, and find the strength to keep going. I highly recommend their individual caregiver counseling to anyone feeling lost in the demands of caregiving."
