Benefits of Working With a Geropsychologist

Geropsychologists are behavioral health providers with specialized training in supporting older adults to optimize health, well-being, and overall life satisfaction in later adulthood. We support your patients in navigating the many challenges that can accompany this life stage including lifestyle or role changes, disease or illness, grief or loss, cognitive changes, caregiver stress, crisis management, and end-of-life care. We also support patients and their families to increase resiliency and adaptive coping strategies. We strive to be an integral part of the treatment team, working alongside our physician colleagues to provide holistic care, improve treatment outcomes, and enhance patients’ quality of life.
