Elderly Persons Disorders Therapists in Kansas City, MO

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.

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.

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.

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.

As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in elderly disorders, I provide compassionate and effective treatment to support individuals navigating the challenges of aging. My approach, grounded in evidence-based therapies, is customized to address the unique needs of each person. The transition to older age can be difficult, involving adjustments such as retirement, the loss of friends and spouses, chronic illness, and more. My goal is to help individuals manage these changes and improve their quality of life during this significant life stage.

Kansas City sits at the Missouri-Kansas border and draws clients from both states, with therapists well-versed in navigating Midwestern values, family expectations, and the tensions between tradition and personal growth. The city has a significant African American population and community-level trauma tied to historical redlining and economic inequality, driving demand for culturally affirming and social-justice-informed practitioners. The University of Kansas Health System and Saint Luke's Health System provide major institutional mental health resources for the region. Kansas City's art and music scene sustains a creative community with its own distinct mental health needs, and therapists familiar with the psychology of creative careers are present.
