Elderly Persons Disorders Therapists in Lowell, MA

Having worked at a rehabilitation hospital providing neuropsychological assessments and counseling for the elderly, I am comfortable working with people who may be struggling with mild-to-moderate cognitive difficulties, and their family members who are seeking to better understand and support their loved one. Please reach out today for more information.

I have training and experience working with older adults and often support older adults through activities such as life review to best support their unique needs.

I have a special interest in working with elderly persons in this country. I am attentive to the specific challenges this population may face and work to create a non-judgmental, comfortable space for connecting and processing your experiences together. I have experience providing dance/movement therapy to older adults and incorporate that into my therapeutic work to connect with folks in verbal and non-verbal ways.

When I began my practice, I was already in my mid 60s and assumed I would specialize in older adults. As a specialist in sexuality, I have helped many clients who come to me with sexual issues, most related to aging. I've become an expert of elder sexuality, assisting clients who want to continue to enjoy a healthy and satisfying erotic life. I have helped clients overcome erectile dysfunction, inability to orgasm, low desire, pain with sex and other problems. Many clients come to me post divorce or widowhood, who have not been sexual or even touched for decades and whose bodies have gone numb. Lack of education is a big problem for many and just learning about what is "normal" and what is possible is a huge game changer. Often, there needs to be a clearing of emotional issues that needs to be cleared. More recently, I have begun working with clients who have medical issues related to aging, working with people who are dealing with Parkinsons, IBS, Cancer, etc. Finally, as we age often we become anxious and fearful about our mortality, something that I can definitely help with as a hypnotist.

This component address the age related mental health challenges, cognitive changes, emotional well-being, and strategies to maintain independence and quality of life.

Lowell is a historic Massachusetts mill city on the Merrimack River that played a central role in the American Industrial Revolution and has since become one of the most ethnically diverse mid-size cities in New England, home to the largest Cambodian-American community in the United States outside Long Beach, California, as well as significant Southeast Asian, Latino, and African immigrant populations. The mental health landscape is profoundly shaped by the refugee and survivor trauma of the Cambodian community, many of whom experienced the Khmer Rouge genocide and its aftermath, and by the mental health needs of a broader immigrant population navigating acculturation, language barriers, and the stresses of economic life in a post-industrial city. UMass Lowell has graduate programs in psychology and counseling, contributing to the local mental health workforce. Common therapy concerns include refugee and genocide-related trauma, acculturation stress, intergenerational family conflict, economic anxiety, and the mental health challenges of a remarkably diverse community still building culturally competent care infrastructure.
