Counseling To Support The Natural Aging Process

Aging is a natural part of life. From the mid-60s to the end of life, we are in the period of development known as late adulthood.  In this stage of life, therapy can help adults to face the practical tasks, spiritual questions, and medical concerns aging.  As we age it is common to experience the emotions of depression or anxiety, and to deal with grief as friends and family members pass on. Therapy can also help people who may have difficulty with the transitions of aging to manage their emotions, find new sources of enjoyment and meaning, and find new support systems.
