Before giving unsolicited advice, how much have you wished an outsider would understand your reality of homelife on a day-to-day basis?  I am a therapist who "gets it" in what it means to have a life, a marriage, and a family with a special needs child.  

I accept that you are the expert of your child and your life. 

In counseling, we look together at differing coping mechanisms and expectations of both the special child and the rest of the family, and examine patterns of communication breakdowns and difficulties resolving conflicts. They then present a wide range of strategies for handling or preventing these problems.

I listen and offer a safe, non-judgmental, and honest relationship. 

For parents looking for ways to strengthen their marriage, we focus on makes a marriage strong, such as continuing to share connections outside of parenting roles, keeping a sense of autonomy, and sharing childcare responsibilities. I stress the importance of creating romance and intimacy even in the craziest of life moments, and we work together in finding time for each other even when you feel too tired or overwhelmed.

 You will lead me in what is realistic for your family.
