Judith Nitchie
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT36770
Our world and our priorities can change as we age. We might face a loss of abilities, role identities - even our independence. This can also be a time of life review, changing priorities and relationships, great creativity, and fulfillment.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
When I began my practice, I was already in my mid 60s and assumed I would specialize in older adults. As a specialist in sexuality, I have helped many clients who come to me with sexual issues, most related to aging. I've become an expert of elder sexuality, assisting clients who want to continue to enjoy a healthy and satisfying erotic life. I have helped clients overcome erectile dysfunction, inability to orgasm, low desire, pain with sex and other problems. Many clients come to me post divorce or widowhood, who have not been sexual or even touched for decades and whose bodies have gone numb. Lack of education is a big problem for many and just learning about what is "normal" and what is possible is a huge game changer. Often, there needs to be a clearing of emotional issues that needs to be cleared. More recently, I have begun working with clients who have medical issues related to aging, working with people who are dealing with Parkinsons, IBS, Cancer, etc. Finally, as we age often we become anxious and fearful about our mortality, something that I can definitely help with as a hypnotist.

Jonathan Kruger Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
For many, the great fear of aging is irrelevance. This often leads us to run from the truth of our aging bodies, and to avoid a direct confrontation of the many changes and transitions that occur as we enter our later years. My treatment philosophy on aging is grounded in the concept that aging requires us to find a new relevance: an inward journey that allows my clients to face the truth of aging, and to embrace that truth with a vibrant, colorful, and engaged vision of the aging process. In this area of my practice, I offer skills that are necessary as the body and mind transitions, and tools to help manage the many conflicting emotions that can arise, particularly in our youth-obsessed culture. I help guide you through the transformation from the self-imposed fear of aging to embracing the permission to age with grace, dignity, and a firm sense of self.
