At Pathways To Connection, we provide compassionate support for those navigating the emotional and psychological challenges associated with aging and cognitive decline. Whether it's helping families cope with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other age-related conditions, our approach focuses on fostering understanding, enhancing communication, and providing emotional relief. We assist clients in managing feelings of loss, grief, and frustration, while offering strategies for caregivers to maintain their own well-being. Through a combination of supportive counseling, stress management techniques, and guidance on coping with the unique challenges of aging, we help individuals and families adapt with resilience, dignity, and grace.

Dr. Janelle Louis
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ND, PMHNP-BC
I support older adults with compassion, patience, and respect. Care includes memory concerns, mood changes, grief, adjustment issues, and chronic illness management. In addressing disorders that commonly affect elderly persons, my approach emphasizes dignity, stability, connection, and improved quality of life.

Elderly Issues
Rizaldy R Ferrer
Psychologist, PHD
I approach therapy from the belief that emotional difficulties such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and other psychological concerns are best understood not only by their symptoms, but by how we respond to pain, uncertainty, expectations, and change. My work often focuses on helping clients recognize unhelpful patterns, become less governed by comparison or rigid thinking, tolerate discomfort more effectively, and identify small but meaningful shifts that can change the direction of their lives. Rather than viewing people as simply “right or wrong” or “well or unwell,” I try to understand what is happening, how it developed, and what may help someone move forward with greater awareness, flexibility, and intention.

Elderly Issues
Dr. Weston Donaldson
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
Getting older doesn't always look the way you thought it would. Maybe your body is changing, your social world is smaller, or you're taking on caregiving responsibilities you never anticipated. Maybe you're wondering where you fit now, or whether there's still room for something new. For LGBTQ+ adults, aging can bring up questions about community, chosen family, independence, and who will be there when you need support. You don't have to pretend these changes are easy, or accept that your best years are behind you. Together, we can figure out what matters to you now, and what you want the next chapter to look like.

Elderly Issues
James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
As I have aged, I notice that my clientele has as well. I'd say these issues now occupy a good half of my clinical hours. Possibilities shrink, difficulties compound, loved ones pass away, memory slips and the body falters. My approach to these things is mainly existential, acknowledging the gravity of these changes and developing strategies of coping and courage and resilience to deal with these last developmental challenges of life.
