Older Adults/Seniors

Seniors and older adults experience transitions that are unique in comparison to other age groups. Changing identity due to retirement, shifting roles in family dynamics, downsizing from family homes, loss of partners, friends and loved ones, loneliness, and fear of or experience with illness and injury can create depression and anxiety in seniors.

Counselling can be effective in helping seniors and older adults in releasing some of the more difficult emotions they are feeling. Having a trusted and empathic therapist with whom you can share your thoughts, explore your feelings, revisit your strengths and learn new coping strategies can increase self-esteem, feelings of empowerment and connection.
