Alzheimer's Therapists in Miami, FL

Are you concerned with aging? Or feeling overburdened by your caregiving responsibilities? There is a growing need for healthcare specific to the aging process. Yet in our current system, many older adults and their families are left with more questions than answers. Patients fear memory changes may be dementia . Caregivers feel isolated and overburdened. Unfortunately, many doctors do not have the time or resources to offer support for existential issues outside of their medical practice. As a result, individuals often become depressed or hopeless.

I perceive psychotherapy as a process of teamwork, sharing of power, and ensuring that clients have a sense of hope. There is no single way to live one's life and, as a clinician, I respect when my patients believe they are sufficiently on track. I also offer comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations. These evaluations are commonly used to detect dementia , adult ADHD, learning disorders, and is used to support diagnosis such as Alzheimer's disease and Traumatic Brain Injury. At my practice, we offer comprehensive, personalized programs to help you build a stronger future and sustain it.
