Counseling for Seniors

While the senior years can be a time of freedom and new opportunities, the aging process can also bring many emotional challenges. As you age, you may suffer grief due to the loss of a loved one, or you may have difficulty making a change in residency. Sometimes you may just need someone to talk with. All consultations are strictly confidential. And fees are based on ability to pay. No one is turned away at Jewish Family Service.

Life Challenges may include:

  • Loneliness
  • Anxiety
  • Grief
  • Loss
  • Dementia
  • Depression
  • Difficulty with relationships
  • Coping with illness or the emotional pressure of aging.

To help older individuals cope with these issues, JFS offers individual and couples counseling for seniors 60+. Our experienced and highly credentialed professionals understand your problems and can help you learn to enjoy your senior years.
