Lurline Aslanian
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, L.C.S.W.
There can be many challenges in growing older including the need for self acceptance and forgiveness of self and others. Sometimes life has not gone the way you had hoped. Sometimes you discover you actually have an opportunity to try something new or to discover a new purpose in life. I find that it is essential to discover meaning and to discover appreciation for the being that you are.

Mayra Bagnoli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Adapting to losses is the main important focus of therapy with the elderly but... Is it all? I happen to believe that as we adapt to losses and physical decline, we also gain self-knowledge, wisdom, and generosity. Getting old may be a period of conquests, of engaging in highly meaningful tasks that make your life worthy of living and more fulfilling. It is like choosing how you will leave the rest of your life- you can focus on all that is less and worst or you can focus on positive aspects such as wisdom, free time to enjoy tasks you never had time to pursue, working on spirituality and giving back to society. It is kind of changing the lenses you are seeing through and reinventing yourself.

Growing old is a process of accommodations and adjustments to a new way of living. Those of us who are able to adapt in these ways have a significantly better chance at finding meaning and purpose during the twilight of our lives.

We all will reach a moment in time that reveals certain vulnerabilities within our body, mind, community and spirit. Having the support to adapt with such changes can lessen the heartache.

Dr. Lisa C. Watson
Psychologist, PsyD, MPH
In my therapy approach for older adults, informed by my postdoctoral training in geropsychology, I begin with a thorough assessment to understand their life experiences and current challenges. I create a supportive environment and provide age-appropriate education about how aging can affect mental health. Together, we address specific issues like life transitions, chronic health conditions, and loss. I use evidence-based techniques such as reminiscence therapy, adapted cognitive restructuring, and behavioral activation to set achievable goals. Relaxation techniques and mindfulness exercises are integrated to enhance emotional resilience. Homework assignments, like practicing relaxation or reflecting on positive experiences, reinforce our work. Regular assessments ensure our interventions remain effective and responsive to their evolving needs, aiming to empower older adults to maintain or improve their mental health and overall well-being.
