Your psychological needs can change over the course of a lifetime. Geropsychology is a specialized area of psychology that focuses on the concerns of older adults and their families. As a trained geropsychologist, I help older adults maintain quality of life and well-being and address the unique challenges of aging to continue pursuing meaningful goals and achieving your full potential and satisfaction from life.
Geropsychology addresses the following concerns:
- Mental disorders such as depression and anxiety
- Memory loss
- Changes in decision making and ability to carry out activities
- Coping with and managing chronic illness
- Behavioral health concerns such as insomnia, pain
- Grief and loss
- Family caregiving strains
- Adjustment to aging-related stresses including marital/family conflict, changing roles
- End-of-life care
