Do you find yourself constantly looking to others for reassurance, approval, or validation? Are you hard on yourself in ways you would never be toward someone you love? Many of the women I work with are thoughtful, capable, and deeply caring, but they feel depleted. After years of being the responsible one, the accommodating one, the one who holds everything together; anxiety, resentment, and burnout quietly creep in with damaging effects. Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself again. I believe the greatest gift we can give the people we love is our own healing and a more regulated nervous system.

There's a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from spending years showing up for everyone else — patients, children, aging parents, partners — while quietly setting yourself aside. It doesn't announce itself dramatically. It accumulates. I know this not only as a therapist, but as someone who spent nearly two decades as an ICU nurse, raised children who are now adults, and has navigated the shifting ground of midlife and beyond firsthand. I work with people who are ready to finally direct some of that care inward — and I understand, more than most, exactly what it costs to have waited this long.

FAQ - About Geriatric Therapy
What can a geriatric psychologist help with?
Geriatric therapists specialize in the cognitive and neurological challenges that often accompany aging, including dementia, memory loss, and age-related cognitive decline. They also address the psychological conditions that frequently co-occur with these issues, such as depression, anxiety, and grief. Geriatric therapists and psychologists are trained to assess cognitive functioning, identify symptoms that may warrant further evaluation, and conduct or refer for formal neurological assessment when needed. In many cases, geriatric therapists also work closely with medical doctors to manage a client's overall health, and they may support caregivers and family members navigating the demands of caring for an aging loved one.
Why might someone seek a geriatric psychologist?
Someone might seek a geriatric therapist when they or a loved one begins experiencing cognitive or neurological changes and is unsure whether those changes are a normal part of aging or something that requires clinical attention. A geriatric therapist can help connect families with appropriate next steps. They are also commonly sought following a new diagnosis, when clients and families are working to understand what that diagnosis means practically and emotionally, and what to expect as a condition progresses. When seeking a therapist, it can be helpful to consider whether a clinician with a stronger psychotherapy focus or one with more of a social work orientation, who can help connect clients with assisted living or medical resources, would be the better fit.
What type of therapy might a geriatric therapists specialize in?
Geriatric therapist often combine psychotherapy with psychoeducation, helping clients and their families understand cognitive and neurological conditions and what to expect as they progress. For clients experiencing anxiety or depression alongside cognitive decline, therapists may draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness-based approaches. For clients with dementia specifically, therapists may be trained in specialized modalities such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), which is designed to preserve cognitive functioning.
Can geriatric psychologists help people who suffer from dementia?
Yes, and this is a core area of geriatric psychology. Therapists specializing in dementia can work directly with clients on memory loss and cognitive functioning, while also addressing conditions that commonly co-occur, such as depression and anxiety. They can provide caregivers with objective assessments of a client's functioning and disease progression, and are typically well-versed in community resources available to dementia patients and their families.
