Aging brings with it unique emotional, cognitive, and social challenges that can deeply affect an individual’s quality of life. At Emotional Step Up Healing Services, our Geriatric & Dementia Care program is dedicated to supporting older adults and their families as they navigate the complex experiences associated with aging, memory loss, and cognitive decline. Our therapists are trained to address the mental health needs of seniors with sensitivity, patience, and deep respect for their life stories and dignity.
Our approach to geriatric mental health is holistic and person-centered. We work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, isolation, and the early stages of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Through talk therapy, cognitive stimulation techniques, and supportive counseling, we help seniors maintain emotional well-being, foster a sense of purpose, and enhance daily functioning. Therapy is often integrated with family involvement to ensure continuity of care and support in everyday life.
For individuals and families facing dementia, we provide education, emotional support, and strategies for coping with progressive cognitive decline. Our Dementia Care services focus on reducing confusion, managing behavioral changes, and promoting a sense of calm and security. We also guide caregivers—often overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted—by offering tools for self-care, stress management, and healthy communication, recognizing that caregiving can be both rewarding and incredibly demanding.
We believe that every stage of life deserves compassionate, attentive care. Our Geriatric & Dementia Care services are here to preserve dignity, nurture connection, and support both seniors and their loved ones through the emotional transitions of aging. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, a parent, or a grandparent, our therapists are here to help you find strength, peace, and clarity in the journey ahead.
