geriatric counseling

Aging is a natural process that may present challenges for some individuals and their families. Geriatric counseling offers mental health assistance to older adults during the difficult stages of advanced aging and loss of independence. Therapy can help older adults who may have difficulty with the transitions of aging to manage their emotions, find new sources of enjoyment and meaning, and find new support systems.

individual and family therapy

Psychotherapy is a process focused on helping you heal and learn more constructive ways to deal with the problems or issues within your life. Through therapy you can learn to walk towards change and restoration by exploring who you are, your fears, and desires with one of our licensed and trained therapists.

Medication Management

Providers prescribe different medications such as mood stabilizers, antidepressants, depressants, antipsychotic, anxiolytic, and stimulant medications. Medication is not always necessary depending on the severity of your condition.
