Elderly Issues
Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
