Therapists for Seniors in Randolph, VT
I really appreciate clients who are willing to look at themselves and are brave enough to ask for help. Asking for help shows a desire to understand themselves on a deeper more spiritual level. I work with people going through transitions in life ages 4-94. It doesn't matter the age, it is the heart behind the age that counts. I work with individuals, family, couples, and those working on addictions issues that are facing crossroads in their life. Therapy gives hope and renewed vision and allows support to those facing the fear of change.

I have enjoyed working with individuals and families for over twenty years. I have extensive experience with families in difficult times, and in working with children who have difficulty in school.

I want to share something important about who I am. I live with cerebral palsy, and that experience has deeply shaped my perspective, resilience, and the way I show up in the world. It has strengthened my empathy, sharpened my determination, and fueled the passion I bring to my work every day. I also believe that humor is an essential part of healing and connection—so if you appreciate a genuine laugh along the way, we’ll likely work well together.

After 14 years of a cash-only private practice as a Life Coach, Holistic Health Practitioner, and Medical Intuitive, I can now sustainably work as a therapist with those who cannot afford care without insurance. Having worked with clients who live in 9 different countries, I found that almost all psychological and relationship issues are the result of acute or chronic violations of free will, free speech, informed consent, and self-governance as a unique yet interconnected individual. The impairment of willpower appears to be made worse by external motivators and addictive substances or behaviors in the long-run.

The most important element in therapy is creating a safe and empowering relationship. There are many barriers to seeking support and I believe it is my job to break those down. I encourage prospective clients to ask questions and develop trust in whatever way feels right to them. My background in social work has taught me to look at each individual as part of a larger picture, and to work with each individual from a place of empowerment and strength.

My work is organized around the principle of post traumatic growth (see the work of Richard Tedeschi). Extensive research has demonstrated that those people who have been traumatized who experience healing have made changes in 3 domains: relationship with self; relationship with other people; relationship with philosophy or religion. I help the wonderful people who work with me make those changes. I foster neuroplasticity necessary to creative adaptation and to problem solving.

Being diagnosed with a chronic illness can create a great deal of anxiety about the future. Will I be able to keep working? Will my family and friends truly understand? Will I be able to afford medication and plan for my financial future? You may be experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety, fear, and anger. You may feel a sense of loss in terms of the person you were prior to the diagnosis. There may be new limitations and challenges regarding your physical and emotional well being.
My practice provides a nonjudgmental safe space for clients. I have a tele-health only practice and see clients from Vermont and Texas.

You might be a good fit for my practice if you're used to holding it together on the outside- but internally, things feel heavier than they should. Grounded in evidence-based practices and shaped by real-world experience, my foundation in clinical work was built through supporting individuals in high-intensity environments such as active-duty military, veterans, and first responders. I work with adults facing stress, trauma, life transitions, or relationship struggles, and offer a warm, down-to-earth space where insight, levity, and practical strategies can all have a seat at the table.

Do you feel like you're navigating a world not designed for you? Are you an Autistic adult, someone living with chronic illness, or simply someone who has stopped feeling you fit into the world around you? Perhaps anxiety, depression, burnout, or feelings of hopelessness have made it hard to see a way forward. Maybe isolation or rigid thought patterns are keeping you stuck. I operate a queer-inclusive practice which welcomes anyone ready to build self-understanding, navigate change, and reconnect with their own strength. As a supervised pre-licensed counselor, each client also gains the perspective of a seasoned licensed clinician.

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.
