Therapists for Seniors in Tallahassee, FL
Accepting new clients! I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating the ups and downs of life. I believe each person is unique and deserves to tell their story. Trauma, anxiety, and relationship issues can influence functioning and inhibit our ability to navigate life and show up for ourselves in positive ways. Through examining ourselves, our relationships, and our pasts, I believe we can gain insight into why we behave certain ways. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space that can aid in allowing you to feel heard; so that change or acceptance for where you are can occur.

Does your heart beat too fast at unexpected times? Is there a whirlwind of emotion that you can't quite grasp? Does it feel like your struggling to survive? Many of us have been taught to "keep on" no matter what adversity we've experienced and often without the help we need. Are you attempting to navigate a world that doesn't make sense or align with your values? Are you caring for everyone else before you can get to your own needs? These experiences can cause anxiety, depression, irritability and even justified anger. I can help you process your experience(s), cope with your sadness, and find healing from trauma. Joy is possible.

Trauma informs how we relate in the world and can be complex, confusing, and painful with multiple layers. Coping or trying to cope with trauma is challenging, interfering with what most consider "normal life activities." Its hard to explain to others who do not understand and who have never experienced something that "rocked" their world in a disturbing, sometimes literally life threatening way. When there has been any degree of trauma, what was is no longer and what is frightens, disorients us. Behaviors, thinking, feelings change in the shadow of trauma. There is help available and you are not alone. Recovery is possible.

People often come to therapy feeling stuck in the same painful patterns — tired of the conflict, distance, built up resentment, or loss of trust. I help individuals and couples find direction when they feel disconnected or at a crossroads. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to move forward, even though they are doing their best to hold everything together. Therapy can be a space to slow down, feel supported, and begin to find clarity and relief. Meaningful change happens in safe, supportive relationships.

Do you feel that, despite your best efforts, something has not gone as well as you had hoped? Are you finding yourself in conflict with a loved one or extended family? Often times, discontentment can brew for months or even years before it is first verbalized. It can be subtle at first, arguing more with a loved one or not even bothering to argue at all. But it often grows, like an emergency siren getting closer. Even when that siren gets unbearably loud, it can still be nerve-wracking to say, "Enough is enough, we need to do something different."

See More Therapists 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.
