Therapy in Your Midlife and Retirement Years

You did it. You got to the big goal post of your life, but now what? The happiness that you always thought would be there isn’t. Life continues. There are still bills to pay, the kids to worry about, family demands, and the stressors of the modern world. This isn’t what you thought success would be. You really don’t know what the next step is.

Sometimes in life achieving a goal can be one of the more defeating experiences we have as we did what we set out to do, yet we do not get the transformation we were hoping for. We ‘should’ be happy, but we are not. You might be riddled with worries about if you have done enough, if your family will be okay, or if you followed the right path.

It is never too late for change. I am here to help you. Together we will help you find your way again. Though change in adulthood can be challenging it is also a great opportunity. Though helping you identify your values and helping you to live a life that is authentic to who you are you can find your way to a contented life.

What to expect at your first session

Our first meeting will be an intake interview. Our intake will start with a review of the informed consent and limits of confidentiality. During the intake interview I will ask a wide range of questions so that I can understand you, your history and your reasons for seeking therapy. This session will usually last between 45-60 minuets.

What to expect at Follw-Up Sessions

Your follow up sessions will all be around 45-55 minuets. We typically will start with a check in to see if there is anything urgent we need to discuss. We will then typically move into discussing your therapy homework, how it went and what you observed. We will then start talking through the challenges you are facing. My approach will be a combination of listening, education about the human mind and human behavior, and discussing alternative behaviors to help you reach your therapy goals.

How Often We meet

I like to meet once a week with my clients for about four to eight weeks (depending on the nature of the challenge weekly sessions might go on for longer). Then, once it seems you are doing well, we will start meeting every two weeks, and if the gains are maintained, we then move into monthly check-ins. If you continue doing well we either move into maintenance therapy, where we meet every one to three months, or we terminate therapy. I hope to have most of my clients reaching termination of active therapy in 12 sessions.
