I love working with people who are motivated to figure out what is keeping them stuck and how to get unstuck. Working with neurodiverse individuals to help them understand their brains, how they are wired, and how to work with that wiring is a passion for me. Helping parents understand what is going on in their child's brain that causes the big emotions, challenging behaviors, or anxieties in a way that helps them be the best parents for the kids is extremely gratifying. For people struggling in their academics or jobs, finding the puzzle pieces that unlock their struggles and let them thrive is a joy.

I serve a variety of ages covering a diverse range of mental health and emotional concerns. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents between the ages of 10-17, including those in the foster care/adoption and juvenile justice systems. These concerns range anywhere from adjustment difficulties to the effects of abuse and neglect, including, but not limited to parental conflict, anger management, depression, bullying, homelessness, drug abuse, grief and loss, and anxiety. My work with adults (18+) is very similar, but also includes marriage struggles, life transitions, and faith, to name just a few.

Welcome! I'm Jennifer Caballero, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in grief and loss. We are all impacted by grief during our lifetime and yet grief is something that we rarely talk about as a society. Grief is a normal response to any loss. It has no timeline, easy fix, or specific set of instructions for healing. I believe grief is not pathological, or a problem that needs to be "fixed" or "gotten over." Grief is a journey that is unique to everyone. My approach is to help you identify how grief shows up and impacts your life while providing coping skills that allow you to incorporate grief into your ongoing story.

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.
