Elderly Persons Disorders Therapists in Green Bay, WI

As a psychologist specializing in geriatric care, my approach to treatment is holistic, person-centered, and tailored to the unique needs of older adults. I prioritize building a trusting and compassionate therapeutic relationship, recognizing the diverse life experiences and challenges that come with aging. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), supportive counseling, and reminiscence therapy, I address a wide range of concerns including adjustment to life transitions, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and cognitive changes. I collaborate closely with other healthcare professionals and family members to ensure comprehensive care and support. Additionally, I integrate strengths-based approaches to help older adults identify and leverage their resilience and coping skills. My goal is to promote emotional well-being, enhance quality of life, and empower older adults to navigate the aging process with dignity and resilience.

At Pathways To Connection, we provide compassionate support for those navigating the emotional and psychological challenges associated with aging and cognitive decline. Whether it's helping families cope with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other age-related conditions, our approach focuses on fostering understanding, enhancing communication, and providing emotional relief. We assist clients in managing feelings of loss, grief, and frustration, while offering strategies for caregivers to maintain their own well-being. Through a combination of supportive counseling, stress management techniques, and guidance on coping with the unique challenges of aging, we help individuals and families adapt with resilience, dignity, and grace.

As we age our body, mind and emotions change. Transitioning to this new stage of life takes special understanding of where we have been in life and what we still want to accomplish. Together we will evaluate these changes and potential obstacles while creating a path forward.

I work with older adults and their families who are navigating cognitive changes, neurological conditions, and emotional challenges related to aging. Therapy focuses on emotional support, coping strategies, and maintaining quality of life while addressing concerns such as memory changes, adjustment to illness, and the stress that can come with these transitions.

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.

Green Bay is the smallest American city with a major professional sports franchise—the NFL's Green Bay Packers, uniquely community-owned and a profound source of civic identity and seasonal social cohesion—and its mental health landscape reflects both the strengths and challenges of a mid-size Midwestern industrial and paper mill city with a strong working-class character. The city has a significant and growing Hmong community, one of the largest in Wisconsin, descended from Southeast Asian refugees whose mental health needs include the specific trauma of the refugee experience, intergenerational cultural navigation, and the challenges of maintaining cultural identity in a predominantly white Midwestern city. Aurora BayCare Medical Center and Bellin Health provide behavioral health services, and a growing private therapy sector serves the evolving community. Common therapy concerns include Hmong refugee and intergenerational trauma, manufacturing and industrial workforce stress, seasonal depression in Wisconsin's long winters, family and relationship difficulties, and the mental health dimensions of a community whose civic identity is unusually bound up in a football team.
