Therapy for Caregiver Burnout, Stress & Emotional Exhaustion
Special Needs Parenting Support | Safe Harbor Counseling MO
Support for parents of children with disabilities. Find healing with trauma-informed therapy & caregiver counseling in Missouri.
You’re Always Showing Up for Them.
But Who’s Showing Up for You?
Every morning begins with a weight that never left.
Appointments. Behaviors. IEPs. Caregiving decisions that feel endless and heavy. You love your child fiercely, but lately, the emotional cost is catching up to you and it’s starting to show.
You feel constantly on edge, emotionally depleted, and utterly unseen.
Not because you’re weak, but because you’ve been strong for too long, without enough support.
You’re Not Alone. And You Don’t Have to Stay Here.
At Safe Harbor Counseling, we specialize in therapy for parents of children with disabilities, because we’ve been there.
Whether you’re navigating caregiver burnout, decision fatigue, or the grief of watching your child struggle, you deserve therapy that doesn’t just see the parent but supports the whole person.
Meeting Your Guide
Michael Mason M.Ed., LPC, NCC®
As a licensed therapist and parent of a child with disabilities, I know what it’s like to be “on” 24/7 and still feel like you’re falling short. I also know that healing is possible even when life doesn’t slow down.
In our work together, you’ll find practical tools, honest conversation, and a safe space to just be human. No masks, no judgment just deep support and therapy that actually fits your life.
How Our Therapy Helps
We blend the following approaches, proven to help parents navigate long-term stress:
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Meet the parts of you that feel anxious, angry, numb, or ashamed and learn how to care for them, not fight them.
Trauma-Informed Care
We go at your pace. Safety, agency, and consent guide everything we do.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
Learn to pause. Breathe. Respond with intention, not from reactivity.
Finding Relief and Transformation
Imagine waking up with a sense of hope and purpose.
Picture yourself facing daily challenges with greater confidence, feeling calm, steady, and in control. Through therapy, counseling, and special needs parenting support, you’ll learn how to manage stress, reduce burnout, and restore emotional balance. As you begin to care for yourself more intentionally, you’ll start to notice meaningful shifts, at home, at work, and within your own sense of well-being.
🛑 What Happens Without Support?
- Caregiver burnout becomes a permanent state
- You lose the ability to regulate your emotions
- Your health and relationships begin to suffer
- You feel resentful and guilty, at the same time
- Your identity fades behind your responsibilities
This doesn’t mean you’re failing. It just means you need help. And that’s okay.
