At our practice, we understand that aging brings unique emotional, psychological, and relational challenges that deserve specialized attention and expertise. Our geriatric therapy services provide comprehensive support for older adults and their families as they navigate the complex landscape of later life.
We work with seniors facing a wide range of age-related concerns, including:
• Adjustment to retirement and life transitions • Loss of independence and mobility changes • Chronic illness and pain management • Depression, anxiety, and isolation • Grief and bereavement • Cognitive changes and memory concerns • End-of-life issues and legacy work
Our therapists recognize that aging is not simply a medical process but a profound life transition that affects identity, relationships, and sense of purpose. We create a safe, welcoming environment where older adults can explore their feelings, develop coping strategies, and maintain their dignity and autonomy.
Family dynamics often shift dramatically when geriatric issues arise. We provide crucial support for adult children, spouses, and other caregivers navigating:
• Difficult healthcare and placement decisions • Caregiver stress and burnout • Role reversals and changing family dynamics • Communication challenges • Long-standing family conflicts that resurface during crisis • Shared grief and anticipatory loss
Our therapeutic approach is rooted in respect for the wisdom and life experience our clients bring. We integrate evidence-based modalities including cognitive-behavioral therapy, reminiscence therapy, narrative therapy, and grief counseling, always tailoring our approach to each individual's needs, values, and cultural background.
Beyond direct clinical care, we offer in-service training programs for healthcare practitioners working with older populations, including nurses, social workers, case managers, home health aides, and facility staff. Our educational sessions cover:
• Recognizing and addressing depression and anxiety in older adults • Effective communication strategies for individuals with dementia • Understanding the psychological impact of chronic illness • Supporting families through difficult transitions • Promoting dignity and quality of life in end-of-life care
Our trainings combine clinical expertise with practical, actionable strategies that healthcare professionals can implement immediately in their work settings.
