​Anna Rolando, LCSW provides experienced, compassionate care for individuals facing significant medical issues.


​When you or someone you love has been given a life-changing or life-limiting diagnosis, it can feel as though the floor has fallen out from under you.  You are often thrust into a new rhelm of medical appointments, treatments, and terminology that can be overwhelming and frightening.  You may be confronted with questions and scenarios that you never thought you'd have to face. 

​Having a supportive counselor who has worked within the medical field can help you navigate these questions and options and help you and your loved ones make decisions based on what quality of life means to you and what you value and hold most dear.  These situations might include:
​
  • palliative care
  • end of life decisions
  • dementia 
  • transitions to hospice care
  • cancer diagnoses
  • chronic pain
    ​
Again, while we can't change the realities of the medical conditions we and our loved ones face, we can grow in our acceptance of these conditions, while making choices that reflect our values and allow us to still live our lives in meaningful and purposeful ways.
