Conditions · therapy for older adults
What we work with, in plain words.
Older adulthood brings its own weight. Below is what we most often help with — written the way our clients describe it, not the way a textbook does. Pick the one that sounds most like what you're carrying. None of it is unusual. All of it deserves a hand. We see clients across all of Los Angeles County by telehealth and at our Pasadena office.
Mood
Late-life depression
The mornings that get heavier. The "I should be over this by now." A flatness that doesn't lift after rest. Treatable — most of the time, fully.
Loss
Grief & bereavement
The chair at the table. The phone you almost call. Grief that doesn't follow a schedule and doesn't owe anyone closure.
Anxiety
Anxiety in older adults
The 3am loop. The body that won't unclench. The worry about a body that's already worried about a body.
Transitions
Life transitions
Retirement, an empty house, a new role as caregiver, a new role as the one being cared for. Good news and bad both shift the ground.
Health
Chronic illness adjustment
Living with — not being defined by — a diagnosis. The grief, the bargaining, the practical re-routing of a life around it.
Sleep
Insomnia
Asleep at 11, awake at 3, watching the clock. CBT-I works for older adults and is usually a few sessions, not many.
Connection
Loneliness & isolation
The friends who moved or died. The grandkids on a screen. A house that gets quieter than the inside of you can stand.
Late life
End-of-life & terminal illness
What it's like to live with knowing. What it's like to talk about it without making the people you love feel small.
Cancer
Cancer support
Diagnosis, treatment, side effects, fear of recurrence — and the part where the diagnosis isn't your name anymore.
Relationships
Late-life divorce & relationship changes
The marriage that ended at 67. The friendship of forty years that finally said the unsayable. The strange new question of what you want now.
