Maybe you’ve been carrying a lot on your own. From the outside, your life might look fine—but inside, you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure where to turn. It can be hard to say out loud what you’re really going through, especially when you’re used to being the strong one. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep doing this by yourself.

Sometimes we just need a space to process the big things we're going through. And while we might have people who are willing to listen, we don't want all our time with them to be spent talking about those hard things. What's special about having a counselor is that you have complete freedom to come in and talk about whatever is most important on your heart or mind that week. And it's amazing to see the relief and change that can come from simply having a space to share those thoughts and feelings. Whether we’re using EMDR or “just” talking, I hope this can be one of those spaces for you.

I appreciate working with individuals who, in one way or another, are afraid of being seen as high maintenance, “too sensitive,” or “too much.” This may look like someone who has found themselves disconnected or unfulfilled in relationships, someone who often feels misunderstood, or someone who finds themselves at a stand still due to the impact of anxiety or indecision. I also really enjoy working with individuals who have been previously (or are still!) hesitant towards or suspicious of therapy.

Life feels like a constant juggling act. Between work, family, and caring for loved ones, the weight of responsibilities has left you drained and disconnected from yourself. On top of the exhaustion, that inner critic will not let up, reminding you of every shortcoming and insisting you are not doing enough. You feel stuck in a loop of guilt and self-doubt, tired of white-knuckling your way through each day. What you long for is a calmer mind, gentler self-talk, and the space to breathe again. You are ready to find balance, set boundaries, and reconnect with the version of yourself that feels strong and whole.

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.
