Elderly Persons Disorders
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.

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.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in geriatric care, my approach to treatment is holistic, person-centered, and tailored to the unique needs of older adults. I prioritize building a trusting and compassionate therapeutic relationship, recognizing the diverse life experiences and challenges that come with aging. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), supportive counseling, and reminiscence therapy, I address a wide range of concerns including adjustment to life transitions, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and cognitive changes. I collaborate closely with other healthcare professionals and family members to ensure comprehensive care and support. Additionally, I integrate strengths-based approaches to help older adults identify and leverage their resilience and coping skills. My goal is to promote emotional well-being, enhance quality of life, and empower older adults to navigate the aging process with dignity and resilience.
