Therapy for Older Adults Calgary
Clear Minds Psychology provides a safe, supportive space to navigate the challenges that come with aging and strengthen your emotional well-being.
Common Issues Related to Aging
Later life brings many transitions that can affect mental health and quality of life. Older adults may seek counselling to address a multitude of challenges. This can include coping with the loss of a spouse, family member, or friend, adjusting to retirement or changes in routine, or managing stress related to health concerns or caregiving responsibilities. Isolation and disconnection from family and friends can bring feelings of loneliness, depression, and anxiety. Others seek help regarding unresolved past experiences or for personal growth and deeper meaning in this stage of life.
Therapy offers a supportive space to explore these concerns, strengthen coping skills, and foster resilience whatever your age. It’s never too late to benefit from counselling.

What to Expect in a Therapy Session For Older Adults
At Clear Minds Psychology, therapy is tailored to your individual needs and preferences. I use evidence-based approaches such as:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): To reframe unhelpful thoughts and reduce anxiety or depression.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): To help you adapt to changes and live with greater meaning.
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) & EMDR: To resolve painful memories and support healing from past trauma.

These approaches are adaptable, respectful, and sensitive to the experiences that come with aging.
