One area of expertise that sets Gladys apart is her special interest in geriatric counseling. She possesses a unique understanding of the challenges faced by older adults and is committed to improving their mental well-being. Whether it is coping with life transitions, managing grief and loss, or dealing with age-related issues, Gladys offers compassionate and tailored counseling services to her geriatric clients.

Geriatric counseling, also known as geropsychology or geriatric psychology, is a specialized form of counseling that focuses on addressing the mental health and emotional needs of older adults. It involves providing therapeutic support and guidance to individuals who are navigating the unique challenges and transitions that come with aging. Geriatric counseling recognizes that older adults may face a range of psychological, emotional, and social issues that can impact their overall well-being. These may include:

Mental health concerns:

Older adults may experience mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or cognitive disorders like dementia. Geriatric counselors are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat these conditions using appropriate therapeutic interventions.

Life transitions and adjustments:

Aging often brings significant life changes, such as retirement, loss of a spouse or friends, changes in physical abilities, or transitioning to assisted living facilities. Geriatric counselors help individuals cope with these transitions and provide support in adjusting to new circumstances.

Grief and loss:

Older adults may experience multiple losses, including the death of loved ones, friends, or loss of independence. Geriatric counseling offers a safe space to process grief and develop coping strategies to navigate the bereavement process.

Chronic illness and pain management:

Many older adults grapple with chronic health conditions and pain, which can impact their mental and emotional well-being. Geriatric counselors work collaboratively with medical professionals to provide holistic support, helping individuals cope with the emotional aspects of their physical health challenges.

Social isolation and loneliness:

Older adults may experience social isolation due to factors such as limited mobility, loss of social connections, or geographical distance from family and friends. Geriatric counseling focuses on addressing feelings of loneliness and helping individuals build social support networks.

Gladys’s dedication to mental health extends beyond her professional endeavors. She truly cares about the well-being of others and is always seeking ways to make a positive impact in her community. Her warm and empathetic approach creates a safe space for clients to share their concerns and work towards personal growth.
