Therapy for Older Adults

Retirement, health changes, caring for a spouse and losing friends can all arrive in the same few years. Therapy offers a steady place to talk it through.

Later life brings its own challenges

Many older adults grew up believing you keep your troubles to yourself. Yet the later decades can bring more change than any other stage: leaving a career, moving homes, illness, the death of a spouse or friends, and new questions about meaning. Talking with someone trained to help is a sign of good sense, not weakness.

Common reasons older adults come in

Grief after the death of a spouse, sibling or friend
Adjusting to retirement and a less structured day
Worry about health, memory or independence
Low mood that is easy to mistake for normal aging
Strain of caring for a partner with an illness
Changes in relationships with adult children

Depression is not a normal part of aging

Fatigue, poor sleep, aches and pulling away from people can all be signs of depression in later life. It responds to treatment at any age, and noticing it early makes a real difference to quality of life.
