Aging Concerns
Getting older can be scary. Your body begins to deteriorate and you may have to rely on others to complete your daily tasks. You may feel marginzalized by society or lonely as your peers die. Whether you are facing a specific problem or you just need a sounding board and some general guidance, a qualified mental health professional can help with these challenges.

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.

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.

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.

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.
