Elderly Persons Disorders Therapists in Evansville, IN

I have a special interest in working with folks 50+ figure out what you want these later years to look like, address the unique challenges that come with aging and prepare for the end of your life in a way that honors all you've worked for. This includes working with families to help provide care and make sense of the loss that can come with illness and disorders (such as dementia) that come over time.

I work with older adults and their families who are navigating cognitive changes, neurological conditions, and emotional challenges related to aging. Therapy focuses on emotional support, coping strategies, and maintaining quality of life while addressing concerns such as memory changes, adjustment to illness, and the stress that can come with these transitions.

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.

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.

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.

Evansville is the hub city of southwestern Indiana and the tri-state region (Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky), with a healthcare and manufacturing economy and a significant function as a regional medical referral center that gives the city an unusually large healthcare workforce relative to its size. The community has a predominantly evangelical and Christian cultural character that shapes how mental health is discussed and help-seeking is navigated, and faith-integrated therapy and pastoral counseling are important components of the local care landscape. University of Southern Indiana and University of Evansville both offer counseling programs and campus mental health services, and Deaconess and Ascension St. Vincent operate behavioral health programs. Common therapy concerns include faith and mental health integration, healthcare worker burnout, economic stress, relationship and family issues, and the challenges of mental health access in a mid-size regional city where cultural stigma remains a significant factor.
