Senior Adult Counseling

Many people say that if we are lucky, we will live long lives. While we do believe that “aging is a privilege denied to many,” but I also believe aging is a complex, dynamic, ever changing process that many people are not prepared for.

Often times, people simply don’t like the words “old,” “elderly,” or “senior” because the words don’t resonate for them. Regardless of if a person feels “old” or not, certain changes and challenges may arrive that simply never were issues earlier in life and professional counseling can help client’s navigate the new roads.

When big challenges arise later in life, it can be totally shocking and devastating. When people have lived relatively independent lives, and are faced with one or more major life changes, they may really need and benefit from professional emotional support. Medical diagnoses, loss of loved ones (spouses, children, pets etc), surgeries, financial insecurity, loss of vision/hearing/mobility can all have very serious and life-changing consequences. The point and purpose of counseling is to help people feel better and navigate new landscapes they otherwise don’t know how to traverse. You are not alone. Together we can work though this.
