Elderly Persons Disorders therapists in Covington, Tennessee TN
Jackie Ma
Psychologist, Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology
I often work with older adults to cope with changes in their memory, health, independence, and overall functioning. I also support them in adjusting to retirement and managing loneliness. Together, we will review coping strategies, learn to accept these changes in your life and health, and increase your sense of meaning and purpose. If necessary and applicable, I will also work with your caregiver to support your progress in therapy.

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.

Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Our needs can vary greatly as we age, and folks over 60 years old have unique needs that have to be addressed in very individual ways. This is often a reflective time of life, as one perhaps transitions to retirement, having children launch into their own lives, losing loved ones, and managing family expectations with your own health and capabilities. Through therapy, we can explore these areas to ensure you are getting the most out of this new life stage.

Glyndora Condon LPC of Heal and Hope Counseling Services, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, Masters, Marriage and Family Therapy; Licensed Professional Counseling
I was a nurse assistant for 14 years and a Director of Activities for 4; working with the elderly population. My grandmother was my mentor. I have a counselor who takes Medicare who also has much experience and love for the geriatric population. WE are familiar with the depression and anxiety that occurs as we grow older. It becomes more to the forefront as to the brevity of life with increased health issues and close others passing more often.

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.
