Supporting Mental Health in the Golden Years
As you age, you will likely experience significant changes–deaths of loved ones, retirement, new living arrangements, stressful events, and/or medical problems. It’s normal to feel lonely, sad or down about these changes. But when they disrupt your daily functioning or go on too long, the cumulative effects may trigger or perpetuate a mental health condition that needs to be addressed.
Counseling with older adults begins by understanding what has brought them to counseling
Mental health is a key element of overall well-being in older adulthood. While the prospect of counseling may seem daunting, it’s never too late to start. Our counselors can prove to be indispensable in exploring the challenges facing you today, learning effective strategies for overcoming or coping with them, and making sure that your “golden years” truly shine.
There’s no one way to approach therapy, and our team of skilled care providers will adapt to your unique situation. Moreover, SamaraCare takes a team approach when appropriate. If your care requires multiple areas of expertise and/or the possibility of medication management, we are able to help you engage all the resources you need. With SamaraCare, you’ll never find yourself stranded or alone on your journey to wellness.
Everyone entering or navigating their golden years deserves professional care that can support and enhance their mental well-being. Our counselors are focused on helping you enjoy your life to the fullest, navigating its difficulties and obstacles with grace and strengthening your connections to friends, family, and community.
Telehealth Options
In-Person and Virtual Counseling
We offer both in-person and/or virtual counseling sessions. Both are HIPAA-compliant. Virtual (on-line) therapy consists of meeting with your therapist via a video conferencing platform on your computer, tablet or phone. Virtual counseling (teletherapy) is a relatively new way to receive care. If you’re thinking about it, here are some benefits to consider:
- Convenience in meeting with a therapist from the comfort of your own home
- No time spent traveling to appointments
- Access to care providers with specialized expertise regardless of their geographic location
Many insurance companies now cover virtual therapy. Always check with your insurance provider regarding your coverage for mental health services.
