Elderly Persons Disorders therapists in Ocoee, Florida FL
Mayra Bagnoli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Adapting to losses is the main important focus of therapy with the elderly but... Is it all? I happen to believe that as we adapt to losses and physical decline, we also gain self-knowledge, wisdom, and generosity. Getting old may be a period of conquests, of engaging in highly meaningful tasks that make your life worthy of living and more fulfilling. It is like choosing how you will leave the rest of your life- you can focus on all that is less and worst or you can focus on positive aspects such as wisdom, free time to enjoy tasks you never had time to pursue, working on spirituality and giving back to society. It is kind of changing the lenses you are seeing through and reinventing yourself.

Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
I have worked in settings where many of my clients were older adults; I love helping older adults continue to live a meaningful life guided by their personal values throughout the lifespan. I have extensive experience working with chronic conditions, learning to adapt to aging, navigating changing relationships in your later years, meaning-making and legacy (no matter how big or small), and coping with things like pain and functional limitations. I also have experience working with those experiencing cancer or in remission from cancer, life-limiting illness, and grief and loss.

Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Getting to advanced age can be a blessing, but it also presents many challenges. Retirement, lifestyle changes, health issues, cognitive decline, are just some of those challenges. Finding purpose and value in all life stages requires accepting changes and adapting to new circumstances.

Jackie Ma
Psychologist, Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology
I often work with older adults to cope with changes in their memory, health, independence, and overall functioning. I also support them in adjusting to retirement and managing loneliness. Together, we will review coping strategies, learn to accept these changes in your life and health, and increase your sense of meaning and purpose. If necessary and applicable, I will also work with your caregiver to support your progress in therapy.
