Aging Concerns

Erin Harrell (she/ her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC

The majority of my counseling experience has been with people over 60. Just like other stages in life, becoming older comes with a set of concerns and difficulties that are distinct. If you want to explore your legacy, review your life and come to terms with where you are now, I can help.

Katherine Chiba, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Sexuality, parenting adult children, estrangements from family members, living with chronic illness and chronic pain, retirement, choices about where and how to live, and end of life issues are just some of the topics I have enjoyed addressing with my clients of mature years. Being a not-so-young person myself, I have a particular interest in helping my peers live full and interesting lives.

Krysta Snyder

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

MSN, PMHNP

I hold a special interest in providing psychiatric care to the aging population, particularly those affected by Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. My experience has equipped me with the knowledge to address the complex mental health needs that often accompany aging and neurocognitive disorders. I am dedicated to creating individualized treatment plans that alleviate symptoms, improve quality of life, and support both patients and their caregivers through this challenging journey.

As a mid-life woman and therapist I am passionate about providing support for others during all phases of life. It is a rich and challenging time!

Let us connect and assure that presence and choice are at the forefront of your life.

Kelly Rees (she/her)

Clinical Sexologist

Certified, ACS

As we advance in years our sexual relationships may change. Bodies change, interests change. Our culture is at a loss for what healthy, vibrant sexuality looks like in older people. There is no age at which sex becomes inappropriate! It is possible to manage aging in a realistic way around sex. Sexuality may awaken and flourish after you've given up on it, and it may take on different dimensions.

Lori Maatta (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC

I love hearing the life stories of seniors and their outlook on life. I am particularly interested in the challenges seniors face with many of them facing losses, isolation, declining health and issues around death and dying. Losing loved ones and those connections seems to be the most important issue facing the seniors I have spent time with.

Christina Sheehan (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MS, LPC

Mid Life Crisis! Feeling stuck, disillusioned and purposeless when you are supposed to feel only gratitude sucks. You have no energy, you're crabby all the time, and nothing really matters. It's not just anxiety or depression, it's your life/soul calling you to grow. Midlife gives you the challenge of realigning to a new purpose. The problem is we can't see the new purpose and meaning while the old is still hanging around. I help support and guide this process.
