Geriatric Therapists in Colorado Springs, CO
I really enjoy working with older adults and/or caregivers, as the type of therapy I provide often fits well with life challenges that don't neatly fall into a "one size fits all" treatment approach.
One of life’s constants is that things are always changing. If you are feeling overwhelmed by a new season of life, or are ready to change your approach to a situation you’ve been in for awhile, therapy can be a really helpful tool to navigate those challenges. It’s hard enough to go through life transitions like career changes, parenting, caregiving, retirement, aging, chronic health conditions, grief/loss; then add in high stress, little sleep, symptoms of depression or anxiety–it’s a lot to manage!

I am a licensed clinical social worker since 2010. I received my masters degree from Newman University in Colorado Springs. My personal difficulties taught me to be compassionate to myself and others. Asking questions instead of telling someone who they are is a tangible tool that leads to listening to our own truth instead of feeling okay only if someone else says we are. It can be difficult work, and the rewards are tremendous as we unwind the trauma to see the gifts hidden by the hurts. The journey from trauma to trust is a leap of faith. This is why I identify with the Phoenix as a way to come thru the ashes and move forward.

Waitlist for new clients
Adults often seek counseling during seasons when life feels overwhelming, uncertain, or difficult to navigate alone. Many come while struggling with anxiety, chronic stress, or relationship challenges. Others feel stuck professionally, disconnected from their sense of purpose, or unsure how to move forward during major life transitions such as parenting, empty nest, career dissatisfaction, or retirement. Many clients are also exploring deeper questions about identity, meaning, or faith and are looking for a thoughtful place to reflect, gain clarity, and begin moving toward healthier and more meaningful lives.

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.
