In poignant fashion, Kermit the Frog once sang, “it’s not easy being green”. If we replace “green” with anxious, angry, sad, depressed, lonely, or hurt, we feel the truth of the lyric. But for many of us that feel “green” over time, it can start to feel like it’s not easy being “me”. Furthermore, most of the things that make us, “us”, are physically unseen; our personalities, our traumas (known or unknown), our beliefs, our emotions and thoughts. Navigating the “unseen” aspects in us is what fuels my passion in psychiatry, and to offer any support in that journey, is an honor.

FAQ - Psychiatrists for Seniors
Do psychiatrists see seniors?
Yes, psychiatrists frequently work with older adults to address the mental health challenges that commonly arise with aging, including depression, anxiety, grief, sleep difficulties, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of chronic illness. Some psychiatrists specialize specifically in older adults, while others see seniors as part of a general practice. Research consistently shows that untreated mental health conditions in older adults can worsen physical health outcomes and reduce overall quality of life. Therefore, getting appropriate care from a psychiatrist with experience treating older adults can make a significant difference in day-to-day functioning and overall wellbeing.
Should older adults see a psychiatrist or a therapist?
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe and manage medications, and assess whether physical or neurological factors are contributing to mental health symptoms. Therapists, by contrast, are not medical doctors, but provide talk-based treatment to help clients work through emotional challenges, behavioral issues, and life challenges. For many older adults, seeing both a psychiatrist and a therapist is the most effective approach. A psychiatrist can handle medication and medical oversight, while a therapist provides ongoing emotional support and coping strategies. If you are primarily seeking support for a condition that does not require medical oversight, a therapist may be the right starting point. Then, if symptoms are severe or if symptoms don’t respond to therapy alone, a psychiatric evaluation can be a good next step.
How can I find a psychiatrist who sees seniors?
Psychology Today's online directory allows you to search for psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who work with elderly adults. You can filter by specialty areas relevant to seniors to find providers with relevant experience. Each provider profile includes information on therapeutic approach, licensure, insurance accepted, languages spoken, and session fees, so you can assess whether a provider is a good fit before reaching out.
