Elderly Persons Disorders Therapists in Waterbury, CT

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

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.

Experienced in helping older adults directly with issues of adjustment, isolation, depression, and functional loss. This includes helping family members who are interacting with them, and who are dealing with issues including care planning.

As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in elderly disorders, I provide compassionate and effective treatment to support individuals navigating the challenges of aging. My approach, grounded in evidence-based therapies, is customized to address the unique needs of each person. The transition to older age can be difficult, involving adjustments such as retirement, the loss of friends and spouses, chronic illness, and more. My goal is to help individuals manage these changes and improve their quality of life during this significant life stage.

I work with older clients on issues around aging, retirement, loss and other adjustments at this time of life.

Waterbury is a post-industrial Connecticut city historically known as the 'Brass City' for its dominant role in American brass and clock manufacturing industries, which have largely departed, leaving behind significant economic challenges and one of the higher poverty rates in a state that ranks among the nation's wealthiest. The city has a large Puerto Rican population, and Spanish-language therapy is an essential component of the mental health landscape alongside services for communities from across Latin America and more recently Africa. Saint Mary's Hospital and Waterbury Hospital provide behavioral health services, and community health centers serve the significant Medicaid and uninsured population. Common therapy concerns include poverty-related stress, immigration and diaspora identity, substance use (Waterbury has been significantly affected by opioids), depression, anxiety, and the compounding challenges of accessing mental health care in a struggling city still working to define itself beyond its industrial past.
