Finding a specialist who understands Parkinson's disease is crucial for proper care and support. When looking for a therapist, it's important to:

• Check their credentials and specialization in Parkinson's disease
• Ensure you feel comfortable with their communication style
• Verify they offer online/telehealth services
• Confirm they have experience working with both PD patients and their spouses A good starting point would be to:

1. Ask your husband's neurologist or healthcare provider for recommendations
2. Contact your local hospital's patient services department
3. Reach out to the healthcare team at your medical practice, as they often have additional resources and referrals available
4. Consider including your spouse in therapy sessions when appropriate, as this can help address both individual and relationship needs during the PD journey
