Elderly Persons Disorders Therapists in Toronto, ON

I work with: Older adults; Individuals (ages 9+); Couples & Integrative Sex Therapy; Trauma; Infidelity; Grief/Bereavement, & Loneliness. It is my mission and privilege to help individuals create and maintain health and love in their lives or in their relationships. I am passionate about supporting people, especially the elderly , with living a purposeful and fulfilling life. People who work with me have the opportunity to get to know, to love and to trust their own hidden resources; to find and use more courage, creativity and humour within themselves in a safe and supportive place where they can practice brave and honest thinking.

With ten years of experience, Nidhi has a diverse background working with different populations, focusing on couples, individuals, the elderly (including those in homes), and the cultured community. Nidhi employs Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Trauma Informed Network, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Strength Based Therapy to help people overcome anxiety, depression, stress, substance abuse, isolation, and other issues. Providing services in English, Hindi, Malayalam, and Tamil, Nidhi understands and supports the healing journey of racialized individuals as she provides compassionate support through a culturally informed lens.

As we get older, family roles often change. Children become the caregivers of their parents and spouses now pick up new responsibilities for each other. This transition is almost always difficult for all parties. On top of the changing dynamics within your family, there is also a need to navigate the healthcare system and get all of the necessary services in place. None of this comes with an instruction manual and it might not be a situation you imagined yourself in. Processing your new role takes time and I am here to walk through the changes with you through supportive counselling and practical resources.

I enjoy adult clients of all ages. Couple therapy is a specialty; I have advanced training, and have taught couple therapy. Even in child issues, I find working with the parents may work best. Individuals who are committed to living more productively and fully and enhancing their relationships will find me supportive and encouraging. I have a particular passion for working with elderly clients who even in their 80s are interested in understanding / improving their lives. At the moment I am working with a woman in her mid-80s and helping another, 80-year old woman to get comfortable with her computer so that we can zoom.

Lauren Greisman, M.S.W., R.S.W. is a registered therapist with a Master of Social Work degree from Yeshiva University, Wurzweiler School of Social Work. She also earned an Honours Bachelor of Psychology degree from The University of Western Ontario. She has worked in the field of mental health and also has experience with rehabilitation and dementia care since 2005, specifically working with individuals, families, couples and groups living with depression, anxiety and other mental health issues.

Whether the issues are end-of-life planning, parenting our parents, chronic illness, dementia /alzheimer's, betrayal, estrangement, job loss, miscarriage, divorce, sudden, complicated or unexpected death, aging and transitions, or empty-nesting, we experience many similar reactions to loss. Fatigue, depression, anxiety, worry, guilt, and anger are just some of the manifestations. Trouble sleeping and self medicating with food, drugs or alcohol, even suicide seems like an alternative to the pain we carry around with us. I provide culturally sensitive counselling to a diverse community.Together we can create a more meaningful life, filled with truth, joy and love.

Thank you for visiting my page. We all want to feel a sense of peace and contentment, but it’s not always easy to do. Life takes us in all kinds of directions, some predictable, some unexpected. Some manageable, some overwhelming. You and I, together, can explore the challenges you are encountering, and find ways to cope and become resilient. As an RP (2016) and as a MT (2000), over the past 20 years, I have built trusting, therapeutic relationships. The modalities I use include CBT, mindfulness, narrative therapy, and as appropriate, elements of creative arts therapies to enhance self-expression and feeling grounded.

Are you facing a difficult situation involving an aging or ill loved one? Do you need a forum in which to discuss your concerns and learn about options? Do you and your family members need guidance around decision-making and planning? In today's busy and complex world, it can be overwhelming to negotiate the health and care challenges that seniors and those with chronic illness face.

Do you find that your aging parent is very difficult to care for? Have you noticed your emotions being easily triggered by their actions or comments? Are you having difficult conversations with your family about their care? Taking care of an aging parent can be very emotionally draining but it can also be an opportunity for inner healing, reconciliation, and growth.

I work adult clients ranging in age from their 20s to 100s. I provide one-on-one counselling to clients working toward achieving personal wellness across a wide spectrum of concerns including those coping with anxiety, significant life changes, stress management & relationship concerns. I also offer system navigation and resource counselling for seniors, their caregivers and family members. The goal of this part of my practice is to link people to the right resources for them and help them better understand the complex healthcare system.

Successful psychotherapy requires close cooperation between a client seeking change, and an experienced therapist/coach to facilitate that change. I work with individuals, couples, families and expatriates in the areas of trauma, depression, anxiety and chemical dependency. I offer personalized treatment approaches from the fields of clinical counselling, organizational and occupational psychology as well as cognitive behavioral therapy. As a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist, I also encourage lifestyle adjustments as part of a holistic treatment designed to help clients cope, and continue onto their path of recovery.

Are you stuck in negative patterns and cycles and unsure how to move forward? Or are you an older adult or caregiver looking for support and guidance? I am here to help. My role as a therapist is to help you develop coping strategies and skills to overcome life's challenges and break those negative cycles. You are so much stronger than you think you are, and I am here to help guide you back to that feeling of strength.

If you thought you only needed counselling when you are enduring severe mental health challenges due to high stress, anxiety, grief and loss; take a deep breath and exhale. Sometimes I joke that “therapy is for people who don’t believe their problems are big enough to need therapy”. I believe therapy isn’t only needed while facing mental health challenges but also to explore deep questions you may have or to unravel experiences. It can be difficult understanding how past experiences impact where you are today and therapy is an ideal place to clarify your purpose and move away from trauma and into a growing foundation

Here is the best place to find your inner strength. Yes, I help you to heal from your pain, your grief, or sadness. But also, I am here to help you move forward and repair yourself so you are stronger than you used to be! I have experience in working with different mental health concerns including abuse, bullying, ADHD, ADD, ASD, OCD, anxiety, conduct disorder, bipolar, schizophrenia, academic/intellectual limitations, emotional disorders, suicidal ideation, panic attacks, depression, emotional eating, cultural shock, immigration challenges, diversity, and trauma/PTSD.

Many things affect us deeply in our busy lives.  Yet we find ourselves unable, unwilling, or reluctant to talk our issues through with family, friends or physician. Psychotherapy sessions with me by Zoom, are focused, strategic, and personalized to your needs. I have provided individual and family psychotherapy/counseling in Toronto for over twenty years. Book one session a series, or intermittently: yours to design. Everyone wants change, but how? I will listen to you. "and the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom” Anais Nin

Something is wrong, but we can't quite grasp what. We search for a better understanding of ourselves in order to solve our emotional and psychological discontent. We think about the events of the day, relationships, childhood and the past. Still, something doesn't seem right. We act and feel in ways that create discord. I provide psychotherapy for people who are interested in looking for the deeper meaning behind the discomfort in their lives. The goal is to be able to have more meaningful relationships, fulfilling work and societal contributions, as well as the capacity to bear the difficulties that are part of living fully.
