Elderly Issues
Peter Gould
Psychologist, Ph.D.
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.

Elderly Issues
Mirjana Ivanisevic, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
In my therapy practice, I emphasize the use of empathetic listening, compassionate guidance, and a collaborative process to help my clients meet their goals for therapy. I use a combination of active listening, validation, and challenging unhealthy patterns to help clients develop insight into the psychological underpinnings of their distress, we couple this with strategy building to use healthier coping strategies to improve their quality of life. I emphasize solution-focused strategies (e.g., skill building, cognitive and emotional processing) to introduce healthier coping strategies, strengthen their psychological health, and improve their quality of life.

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.

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.
