I have extensive experience working with the geriatric population as well as helping adult clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression.
I believe in meeting people where they are at. Some clients come to me with a clear idea of their goals for therapy while others don’t know where to start. There are situations in life that are difficult to navigate alone and I believe that providing a safe space to work through the challenges life throws at us is crucial.

“You don’t have to have it all figured out to move forward. Sometimes healing starts with simply being willing to try.” Hi, I’m Carolyn Allen, LCSW, and I’m so glad you’re here. My ideal client is someone who is high-functioning on the outside but overwhelmed on the inside. They may be struggling with anxiety, stress, life transitions, trauma, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck despite their best efforts. They’re used to carrying a lot—responsibilities, expectations, and emotions—and often feel like they have to “hold it all together” for everyone else. Deep down, they are looking for Personal growth and meaningful change.

How do I choose the best one for me? It can be tough to figure out the counselor for you. You expect a counselor to guide, listen & help you to understand things that are hard for you to understand on your own. Choosing someone during a time when you likely feel fearful & confused makes it harder. I suggest calling a few counselors & asking how they can help you change. See if their way of doing counseling would be good for you. Also you may know other people who have been satisfied with their counseling journey with someone they can recommend. Let's get together and decide what your goals are and how I can help you achieve them!

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.
