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.

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.

Growing old is a process of accommodations and adjustments to a new way of living. Those of us who are able to adapt in these ways have a significantly better chance at finding meaning and purpose during the twilight of our lives.

The older community is often a forgotten group; however, I find them to be incredibly valuable and insightful and worthy of support and empathy with their unique struggles.
