Elderly Issues
Dr. Weston Donaldson
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
Getting older doesn't always look the way you thought it would. Maybe your body is changing, your social world is smaller, or you're taking on caregiving responsibilities you never anticipated. Maybe you're wondering where you fit now, or whether there's still room for something new. For LGBTQ+ adults, aging can bring up questions about community, chosen family, independence, and who will be there when you need support. You don't have to pretend these changes are easy, or accept that your best years are behind you. Together, we can figure out what matters to you now, and what you want the next chapter to look like.

Community and Long-Term Care Psychiatry, L.L.C.
Psychiatrist, Psychiatrists and LCSWs
All our therapists have extensive background in treating this condition. The treatments provided by them are lead by our psychiatry team, as many of issues in elderly stem from either depression or dementia. Our nedical director Dr. Ernest Graypel recently published a book on adult cognitive impairments.

Devon Davasher
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CCM, CFSW, Master ART Practitioner
I help adults and families navigate the emotional impact of aging-related concerns, including cognitive changes, caregiver stress, grief, role shifts, and questions about identity and independence. Therapy can provide support, practical coping tools, and space to process the many feelings that often come with this stage of life.

James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
As I have aged, I notice that my clientele has as well. I'd say these issues now occupy a good half of my clinical hours. Possibilities shrink, difficulties compound, loved ones pass away, memory slips and the body falters. My approach to these things is mainly existential, acknowledging the gravity of these changes and developing strategies of coping and courage and resilience to deal with these last developmental challenges of life.

Rizaldy R Ferrer
Psychologist, PHD
I approach therapy from the belief that emotional difficulties such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and other psychological concerns are best understood not only by their symptoms, but by how we respond to pain, uncertainty, expectations, and change. My work often focuses on helping clients recognize unhelpful patterns, become less governed by comparison or rigid thinking, tolerate discomfort more effectively, and identify small but meaningful shifts that can change the direction of their lives. Rather than viewing people as simply “right or wrong” or “well or unwell,” I try to understand what is happening, how it developed, and what may help someone move forward with greater awareness, flexibility, and intention.
