Seniors sometimes find it hard to cope for various reasons. Here are a few of the challenges our patients say they have difficulty facing:
• Death and loss of family, friends and loved ones
• Symptoms of depression, such as changes in mood, appetite, sleep patterns, loss of interest in activity they once enjoyed, lack of energy, and death wish
• Anxiety, fears, worries
• Relationship and family problems
• Loneliness and feelings of isolation
• Difficulty remembering
• Stress and difficulty with changes
• Physical health problems
Evaluation and Assessment:
Leading-edge assessment and diagnostic tools help us identify how to best help a senior who's having difficulty coping with life’s demands.
Individual Therapy:
One-on-one meetings help monitor symptoms and measure results.
Group Therapy:
Small groups of seniors with similar issues meet with a therapist for a guided, relevant discussion.
Family Education & Support:
No one is an island. By helping family and caregivers understand the therapeutic approach to the senior’s issues, faster healing can take place.
