Elderly Persons Disorders
Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Our needs can vary greatly as we age, and folks over 60 years old have unique needs that have to be addressed in very individual ways. This is often a reflective time of life, as one perhaps transitions to retirement, having children launch into their own lives, losing loved ones, and managing family expectations with your own health and capabilities. Through therapy, we can explore these areas to ensure you are getting the most out of this new life stage.

Elderly Persons Disorders
Dr. Lisa C. Watson
Psychologist, PsyD, MPH
In my therapy approach for older adults, informed by my postdoctoral training in geropsychology, I begin with a thorough assessment to understand their life experiences and current challenges. I create a supportive environment and provide age-appropriate education about how aging can affect mental health. Together, we address specific issues like life transitions, chronic health conditions, and loss. I use evidence-based techniques such as reminiscence therapy, adapted cognitive restructuring, and behavioral activation to set achievable goals. Relaxation techniques and mindfulness exercises are integrated to enhance emotional resilience. Homework assignments, like practicing relaxation or reflecting on positive experiences, reinforce our work. Regular assessments ensure our interventions remain effective and responsive to their evolving needs, aiming to empower older adults to maintain or improve their mental health and overall well-being.
