Geriatrics

Therapists for Geriatric Concerns in the Greater Denver Area and Across Colorado – Accepting New Clients

Aging brings with it many unique challenges, including physically, emotionally, and socially. For older adults, transitions like retirement, health changes, grief and loss, or shifts in independence can feel overwhelming. It’s not uncommon to experience depression, anxiety, memory concerns, or a sense of isolation. Geriatric issues may also be tied to chronic illness, caregiving strain, or navigating long-term care planning. Even when loved ones are supportive, older adults often feel alone in their struggles or unsure of where to turn.

Therapy can offer a compassionate space to talk through life’s transitions and receive evidence-based support. Westside Behavioral Care therapists who specialize in geriatrics use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), among others. These therapies help individuals process loss, develop coping tools, improve mood, and maintain meaningful connection and purpose. Our providers are experienced in helping older adults navigate emotional concerns while honoring autonomy, dignity, and resilience.

 

Appointments are available in person across the Greater Denver Area, including Golden, Wheat Ridge, Arvada, Lakewood, and Centennial, or through secure online therapy statewide. All of our therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many are also credentialed with other insurance plans. You can browse available therapists by specialty, insurance, location, and age to find the right fit for your needs. You can also call us at (303) 986-4197 or email info@westsidebehavioral.com for personal assistance scheduling your first session.
