Therapists for Seniors in Los Angeles, CA
I work with adults of all ages, and couples. I have seen individuals who feel "something" is missing in their lives and are looking to find their path and passion in life. In both long-term and short-term therapy, we work connecting past issues when relevant to the present to understand why we make the choices we do. We also work to build tools to develop the life one wants to live.

For as long as you can remember, you’ve felt different. You learned early on that there are parts of your identity that you had to hide. So, you built a façade to protect yourself. You felt safer pretending you were just like everybody else. As you’ve gotten older, you’ve learned to accept these parts of your identity more, but it still feels like you’re hiding. You still watch what you say and how you behave around certain people. And a part of you continues trying to conform to society’s expectations. You wish you could just be your authentic self without fear of judgment, but you don’t know how. You feel trapped and helpless.

To quote Darcie Wilder, "literally show me a healthy person." With trauma and injustice rampant in our world, anxiety, sadness, and relationship challenges are par for the course. That being said, I know it's not easy to bear.
My hope is to offer non-judgemental support as we deconstruct the patterns that are no longer serving you and explore ways of creating the life you want despite it all.
I particularly enjoy working with adults, teens and couples who are open to questioning what it means to be normal, successful, beautiful, and yes, even healthy.

I combine a unique and specialized form of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) based on Choice Theory with a Family Systems approach to treatment.

I work collaboratively with my clients using a "here and now" problem-solving technique and develop a treatment plan that uses psychotherapy, exercise, nutrition, and social support networks.

You have insight, but it's not enough. You’re capable in so many ways, yet the weight of self-criticism, the constant buzz of anxiety, and feelings of shame and dread hold you back. Part of you craves change, but another part fears it. You may be confronting painful memories or worrying about the future, overwhelmed by "what ifs." Maybe you're struggling with relationships—untrusting, reactive, or unable to express your needs. Perhaps you’re grieving the loss of a loved one, a pet, or an opportunity. Whatever your struggles, there's a faint glimmer of hope. The quiet belief that you're not alone. There's help for you.

I specialize in working with artists and other self-employed people who struggle with alcoholism, addiction, and attachment issues.
If you are stressed by intensity, varying moods, substance use, and difficult relationships, it can seem as though your joy of life is slipping away.
If you want to feel more balanced, confident, and functional, therapy might be a good idea. The work is about exploring and integrating difficult experiences so they no longer control your mind. Often, present-day struggles are connected to earlier experiences. Unprocessed trauma can show up as conflict, distress, or self-sabotage.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.
How is counseling for seniors and the elderly different from counseling for other age groups?
In general, counseling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialize in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counseling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.
How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.
What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counselors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counselors specializing in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counselors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
