The process of aging can be a difficult one for some people. Many have anxiety about memory loss, hearing loss, or loss of mobility and function. It can be difficult for some to adjust to a new lifestyle, one with more care and assistance. Our therapists work with those struggling with the aging process to make sure that they transition smoothly, and are given ways to deal with stressful and difficult situations. Our goal is to make sure you get the help you need in order to make this transitioning time easier and more manageable.
Our therapists can work with you individually, or with your family as well, to discuss options for helping during this time. We will give you tools to mitigate stress or fear when it comes to difficult situations. As we work with you closely, we want to make sure you achieve your personal goals, however big or small they may be.
Neurological Disorders
Neurological disorders, like dementia, are quite common in an aging population, and can be quite scary. Not remembering an event can cause lack of self-esteem and anxiety. It’s important to work with a licensed therapist to understand the cause of these neurological disorders, as well as methods to cope with them. Receiving therapy can lead to better communication within the family, as well as a decrease in anxiety about these issues.
Client-Centered Therapy
Our therapy is centered on you, our client, and the needs and goals you may have. We will work closely with you to make sure you feel you are getting effective treatment and making progress. Our therapists help keep you accountable for your goals, and make sure to treat your needs as much as possible. They can answer any questions you may have as well. It’s helpful to have a safe and confidential environment to allay any fears or stress you may have, and we provide just that. We want to give you the tools you need to be successful in your later years.
Alzheimer’s Disease
This neurological disorder can be scary for both a client and their family. Having a therapist to help you with coping mechanisms when memory loss occurs is beneficial for all involved. Therapy for Alzheimer’s disease can also empower you to feel more in control of your circumstances. Our therapists also give you tools to help with memory loss, challenging you in working to regain some of your memory.
Behavioral Concerns
As people age, their behaviors may change. This can be scary for not only the aging individual, but also their family. It’s important to seek help when it comes to behavioral changes, as these can cause stress or problems if left untreated. Our therapists will work with you to discuss changes in behavior as well as ways to mitigate those changes. Our goal is to make sure there are tools in place to help with those behavior changes for all involved, to minimize stress during this transition period.
Depression Issues
Aging can cause a loss in self-esteem, as well as depression. Many elderly people feel more depressed after they lose their memory, go into assisted living, or lose contact with friends or family. Many feel lonely and are unsure of how to cope with their feelings. A therapist can help give effective treatment for a depressed individual, and get to the root problem of their depression. Our therapists will work with you to make sure there are options for coping and working through your depression, leading to a more fulfilling life.
Thoughts of Suicide
Suicidal thoughts are quite common within the elderly demographic, as many are depressed and lonely. If you or someone you know is having these thoughts, you need to seek treatment immediately. Our therapists can help get to the root cause of these suicidal thoughts, as well as give ways to prevent these thoughts. It’s important to understand the issues surrounding these thoughts and what might be triggering them.
Dealing with Parkinson’s
Parkinson’s disease can be a difficult disease to deal with for any individual or family. Getting therapy to help with this disease can give you relief. Our therapists will work with you to give you tools to help you cope, and lower your stress, making your life more fulfilling.
Speech Therapy
Speech problems can be fairly common in the aging process. Our therapists work to help you with any speech challenges or impediments that have arisen during this time of transition. We offer a wide variety of methods and tools to help you regain your voice. We also work on not only your mechanical speech problems, but your confidence in speaking, which can also be a root cause of speech issues.
Sexual Dysfunction
As we age, our libido can change. This can cause stress and anxiety for some people. We offer therapy for sexual dysfunction, giving you ways to work through this transition process. Our goal is to make you confident in your transitioning body, and to not be stressed about the changes that are occurring.
Adjusting to Life After COVID
Life right now can be very lonely for the aging demographic. Having ways to cope with and work through the loneliness can be very beneficial. That’s why our therapists can give you the tools you need to be successful and fulfilled during this uncertain time.
