Elderly Persons Disorders Therapists in Hartford, CT

Our needs can vary greatly as we age, and folks over 60 years old have unique needs that have to be addressed in very individual ways. This is often a reflective time of life, as one perhaps transitions to retirement, having children launch into their own lives, losing loved ones, and managing family expectations with your own health and capabilities. Through therapy, we can explore these areas to ensure you are getting the most out of this new life stage.

Older adults that are at risk of developing mental and physical health conditions as they age.

I am committed to serving older adults. I have extensive experience working with clients who are navigating challenges of aging, the loss of a spouse or partner, challenges with adult children, and the social and emotional challenges of aging.

I can help with elderly phase of life issues. During our collaborative experience together, I will provide an empathic and caring space to help you move through your struggles, so you can live your best life. Together we will find ways towards a path of feeling better, leaning new coping skills to reconnect with your internal self.

Hartford is Connecticut's state capital and one of the country's starkest examples of urban poverty in a wealthy state—historically the insurance capital of America, it now has some of the highest poverty rates in the northeast, with a predominantly Black and Puerto Rican population that has been disproportionately affected by decades of disinvestment. Spanish-language therapy is essential in Hartford, where a large Puerto Rican community makes up a significant proportion of the population, and bilingual practitioners who understand the cultural dimensions of Puerto Rican mental health experience are in significant demand. Hartford Hospital's Institute of Living—one of America's oldest psychiatric hospitals, founded in 1822—provides important behavioral health resources to the community. Common therapy concerns include poverty-related trauma, systemic inequality and racial stress, immigration and diaspora identity, anxiety, depression, and the compounding challenges of significant unmet mental health need in the capital of a prosperous state.
