Portland Elder Counseling

Mental health concerns for aging persons can become crippling. Older adults who experience depression and anxiety will likely continue to do so until its addressed through assessment, diagnosis and treatment by a clinician. Symptoms that indicate depression and anxiety in older adults can include feeling sad or down, feeling lonely, tearfulness, excessive fears and worries, decreases in appetite and weight, extreme mood changes, withdraw from friends, family, and social events, and frequently talking abut death. Now accepting new patients! I offer counseling for older adults and persons affected by aging. I offer in-home safety assessments, case management, and care planning for older persons who live independently. I offer caregiver assessments and future care planning for caregivers of persons with a cognitive impairment, such as Alzheimer’s and stroke.
