Psychologists help seniors manage the emotional challenges that often accompany aging—such as loss, anxiety, depression, cognitive changes, and transitions in living situations. Through therapy, assessments, and personalized support, a psychologist can be a valuable ally in maintaining emotional wellbeing.

Why See a Psychologist?

Mental and emotional health are just as important as physical health. Therapy with a licensed psychologist can help older adults cope with life’s changes, improve mood, and build strategies for managing stress or behavioral health conditions.

What a Psychologist Can Help With

• Depression and Anxiety: Identify root causes and learn tools for emotional regulation
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Evidence-based talk therapy to reframe negative thinking patterns and improve quality of life
• Grief and Loss Support: Compassionate guidance through bereavement, retirement, or loss of independence
• Coping with Illness: Support for chronic conditions, pain, or terminal diagnoses
• Adjustment to Life Transitions: Assistance in adapting to changes such as relocation, caregiving needs, or relationship shifts
• Psychological Assessment: Cognitive or mood assessments to support diagnosis or care planning

Benefits of Seeing a Psychologist

• Non-judgmental, confidential space to express thoughts and emotions
• Effective treatments without medication
• Support for both individuals and families navigating mental health concerns

Therapy Options for Seniors

• Individual Therapy: Personalized one-on-one support sessions
• Group Counseling: Peer-based support with shared challenges
• Teletherapy: Convenient virtual sessions available via phone or video
