Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
I have worked in settings where many of my clients were older adults; I love helping older adults continue to live a meaningful life guided by their personal values throughout the lifespan. I have extensive experience working with chronic conditions, learning to adapt to aging, navigating changing relationships in your later years, meaning-making and legacy (no matter how big or small), and coping with things like pain and functional limitations. I also have experience working with those experiencing cancer or in remission from cancer, life-limiting illness, and grief and loss.

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.

Psychologist, MA, LLP
Aging is a natural process that may present challenges for some individuals and their families. Although many older adults look forward to moving from middle age into their later years, it may be difficult for others to adjust.
All adults may experience health issues, loss, and general stress as they approach and pass middle age, and the support of a therapist or other mental health professional may help ease the transition.
Therapy can help older adults who may have difficulty with the transitions of aging manage their emotions, find new sources of enjoyment and meaning, and find new support systems. It can help people face their fears of death, if they have such fears, and deal with grief as friends and family members pass on. Family or individual therapy can also assist family members who may be caretakers of their elder relatives, as it can assist them in dealing with their emotions and communication issues that often develop.
