MY SPECIALTIES
YOUR THERAPIST
Peggy Rost
Hello and welcome! My name is Peggy (she/her) and I'm a Clinical Social Worker licensed in the states of Maine, Oregon, and Florida. I have worked in the health care and human services fields for nearly twenty years. Life is full of transitions that entail both joy and suffering and none of it has to be faced alone. The decision to pursue therapy is a courageous one and I'd be happy to talk more with you to see if we'd be a good fit.
OLDER ADULTS (65+)
It’s a common view that living to an older age makes somebody lucky. While I believe this is true in many respects, I feel it’s important to acknowledge the hardships that can arise later in life such as losses of loved ones, questions about purpose, changes in physical ability, and a more profound awareness of one’s own mortality. It is never too late to evolve or heal.
FAMILY CAREGIVING
In addition to working with those living with chronic conditions, I also have a strong passion for supporting those who care for them. Supporting a loved who has a chronic condition, especially one that impacts cognitive functioning such as dementia, is physically and emotionally challenging and often lonely. I help clients process the range of feelings that accompany a caregiving role.
Chronic Physical Conditions
Living with a chronic physical condition presents various challenges and I have found that therapy can provide an opportunity for clients to access their resilience and wisdom. I’m a firm believer in the mind-body connection and help clients develop more connected relationships with their bodies. I have worked with clients living with a variety of conditions and have extensive experience working with those affected by Parkinson’s disease.
