Julie Meade Psychology offers online individual therapy for parents and caregivers throughout Ohio and Kentucky.

Together, we’ll help you find the balance you deserve between caring for your loved ones and reconnecting with your own identity, passions, and values. Your wellness is important, too.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You give and give and give to others, and at the end of the day, you don’t have time, energy, resources, or support left for yourself.

  • You feel like your partner does not understand the mental load you are carrying or the invisible labor you put into keeping your family running.

  • You want to decrease the heaviness of this load and have your hard work seen, understood, and valued.

  • You find yourself being irritable with others because your cup is always empty

Or maybe this sounds right:

  • You want to follow your dreams and pursue your passions, but sometimes it’s hard to even remember what those were.

  • You want someone to understand and see you for who you are as a person, not just a caregiver.

  • You want to feel that the way you spend your time is aligned with your values, not just defaulting to the status quo because there is no space to even consider how to change things for the better.

You want to honor the season of life you are in now, while making changes so your life feels more cohesive and joyful. You want to rediscover and cultivate your own sense of identity, outside of your role as a caregiver.

I’m here to help.

Through online and in-person therapy for parents and caregivers seeking life balance:

  • We’ll help you understand which of your values and needs are not being met — those parts of you that have been set to the side while caring for others, or the parts that you have not yet discovered.

  • We’ll activate or create support systems in your life.

  • We’ll develop new ways of managing your emotions and feelings of overwhelm, so they do not overtake you in the moment.

  • We’ll cultivate your sense of self-compassion and positive self-image.

Change is possible, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
