SENIORS

Many individuals seek counseling at some point in their lives, and seniors are no exception. Seniors face similar life challenges, as other adults, that can be difficult to navigate such as loss, past trauma, addictions, depression, anxiety, financial struggles, coping with daily stress… and they also face challenges and transitions unique to their generation. As a senior, you may be faced with raising grandchildren, forced retirement, care-taking a spouse, transitioning to a new living arrangement, adjusting to a fixed income, daily chronic pain or terminal illness.

The assistance of a skilled and caring counselor can have many benefits. While these benefits vary from person to person, just beginning the process of counseling can help ease some of the isolation we all feel when confronted with difficulties in our lives. Whether you are seeking assistance for typical life challenges mentioned above or specific to being a senior, we are here to help you navigate the stormy seas through this season of life.

Our approach is very practical and straight forward.  By using ‘hands on’ and interactive methods, we engage clients in the counseling process. ‘Homework’ assignments are given after each session to enhance healing and learning.
