Therapy for Older Individuals

Getting older can include a variety of changes and pose a variety of challenges. There are not only physical limitations but other medical health adjustments. Some of these include learning to cope mentally with changes at this stage of life.

Our team works with you to help you navigate this life transition. Common mental adjustments we work with include:

Defining new roles such as depending upon others for help
Experiencing grief and loss
Experiencing pain
Feeling depressed
Increasing the use of substances
Experiencing cognitive decline

We help you understand you are not alone and work with you to feel better. If you find it important to do so, we will include family members in discussions for support.
