Individual Services
Dementia Caregiver Support
Dementia caregiver support is specialized guidance and assistance tailored specifically for individuals caring for a loved one with dementia, such as behavioral changes, communication difficulties, and the emotional toll of witnessing a loved one’s decline.
Caregiver psychotherapy provides a safe, confidential space for you to explore feelings, set boundaries, and develop coping mechanisms as well as practical guidance on services and supports.
Dementia caregiver support will equip you with practical tools and emotional resilience to maintain your own well-being while providing the best possible care.
If your loved one is experiencing agitation, aggression, wandering, paranoia or other behavioral and psychological symptoms of depression, we will work to understand and address their causes—such as an unmet need, pain, or environmental factors.
In-Home Caregiving Assessment
In home assessment offers a comprehensive approach to empowering family caregivers by providing expert guidance directly in your own home.
Initial In-Home Caregiving Assessment (90 minutes)
The first step is conducting a thorough evaluation of the caregiving situation including the emotional and psychological needs of the care recipient and caregiver. The initial assessment will include an assessment of:
- The home environment.
- The care recipient’s needs.
- The caregiver’s skills and stress level.
Customized Support and Education (60 minutes)
Following the assessment, I will develop and provide personalized education, training, and emotional support through one-on-one coaching tailored to your specific situation. This component focuses on:
- Practical skills to providing care, such as proper medication management and strategies for simplifying daily tasks.
- Education about dementia and common behavioral or psychological symptoms of dementia now and as the illness progresses.
Psychotherapy
Individual psychotherapy sessions are specialized for older adults and address common mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, social isolation, and grief related to life changes or loss.
Individual sessions will help you navigate late-life transitions, find purpose, and improve overall emotional well-being promoting high quality of life during later life.
Life Transitions
Psychotherapy for life transitions provides therapeutic support to individuals navigating significant changes in their lives, such as illness, physical changes, later life marriage or divorce, or retirement.
These sessions will help you understand, process, and cope with the emotional and psychological impact of these changes.
We will explore feelings, identify new personal goals, and develop effective coping strategies to transform a period of uncertainty and stress into an opportunity for growth and self-discovery.
Grief Counseling
Grief counseling is a therapeutic service that supports you following a significant loss or anticipated loss. such as the death of a loved one, the declining health, or the loss of independence.
I provide a compassionate space to process feelings of sadness, anger, and confusion.
The goal is not to “get over” the loss, but to integrate it into your life in a way that allows for healing and continued growth.
