Elderly Persons Disorders Therapists in Indianapolis, 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.

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.

Older adulthood can bring a range of emotional and cognitive challenges. I specialize in working with older adults and their families to address these concerns with compassion, respect, and evidence-based care. My approach draws from geropsychology, neuropsychology, and mindfulness-informed therapy to support emotional well-being, promote independence, and improve quality of life. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or an aging loved one, I invite you to contact me for a free consultation.

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.

Indianapolis has a significant mental health burden tied to its opioid epidemic and poverty rates, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery and trauma are consistently in demand. The city has a large faith community and many therapists integrate spiritual approaches into their work with clients navigating grief, marriage issues, and major life transitions. Indiana University Health and Eskenazi Health provide major institutional mental health resources, with private practices serving the Broad Ripple, Carmel, and Fishers communities. The city's mid-size scale means many Indianapolis therapists carry lower caseloads and offer more accessible waitlists than their counterparts in larger metros.
