Janice Barrocas, LPC is mental health counselor specializing in personal adjustment and vision loss. Janice provides individual counseling sessions for adults remotely or in person. When a loved one experiences significant, permanent vision loss both the person losing sight and those who love them face a monumental challenge. Everyone copes with the fear, uncertainty, and loss differently. And it's okay that you are not okay. Trauma, shock, denial, and depression are common early responses. Understanding the functional impact of vision loss on communication, mobility, and self-care takes time. Finding a safe space to process whatever is on your mind during the adjustment process can be tricky. Congratulations on recognizing you deserve emotional and practical support. Working with a counselor who understands blindness simplifies access to counseling, like appropriate accommodations in the intake and care process. In addition to encouraging personal growth and independence skills Janice can help connect clients to assistive technology, resources, and transportation solutions.
