Elderly Persons Disorders Therapists in Wichita, KS

Growing old is not for the faint of heart! Everything changes, our relationships, our bodies, our minds. Let me help you explore how to recreate yourself during these later years.

I am committed to serving older adults. I have extensive experience working with clients who are navigating challenges of aging, the loss of a spouse or partner, challenges with adult children, and the social and emotional challenges of aging.

Getting to advanced age can be a blessing, but it also presents many challenges. Retirement, lifestyle changes, health issues, cognitive decline, are just some of those challenges. Finding purpose and value in all life stages requires accepting changes and adapting to new circumstances.

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.

We provide psychotherapy tailored to the unique needs of older adults, with a focus on supporting emotional well-being, life transitions, and overall quality of life in later years. Our approach addresses concerns such as grief and loss, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, cognitive changes, and adjustment to aging-related challenges. We integrate cognitive therapy principles and health psychology to support overall wellness, strengthen coping skills, and promote healthy behavior change. We work collaboratively with clients to enhance resilience and foster a sense of purpose, dignity, and connection throughout the aging process.

Wichita's economy is anchored by aerospace manufacturing and agriculture, and therapists here frequently address the psychological pressures of industrial work, shift schedules, and the boom-bust cycles of manufacturing employment. The city has a large Hispanic population and growing Somali and Burmese communities from refugee resettlement, creating demand for multilingual and culturally informed therapists who work with immigration stress and cross-cultural family dynamics. Ascension Via Christi and Wesley Medical Center provide major institutional mental health resources, while the city's mid-size scale means many therapists maintain more accessible practices than in larger metros. Wichita's conservative faith community means spiritually integrated therapy is a common offering across many local practices.
