Aging and Geriatric Counseling

Even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me… – Psalm 71:18

Many people view their senior years as a time that can be devoted to travel, leisure, spending time with grandchildren, or serving others, but this phase of life can come with a unique set of challenges and difficulties.

Some of these difficulties include:

• Age-related health issues
• Alzheimer’s
• End of life issues
• Finality of life issues
• Loss of independence
• Loss of peers through death
• Retirement

The Christian counselors at Westlake Christian Counseling are dedicated to working with older adults and their families and helping them face the future. Through the grace of God and through gentle and respectful counsel, your counselor will come alongside you and your family and walk with you through this season of life, helping you to overcome your fears and manage your relationships so that you can embrace change and adapt to new challenges.

To age well you must come to terms with the new stage of life in which you find yourself. As a senior, you have a unique perspective on life and the world as well as a lifetime of accumulated wisdom which you can share with others– both with young and old.

Fear of death and dying is normal, especially in the golden years of life. Christian aging and geriatric counseling can help those living with terminal or chronic illnesses, help you process grief over the passing of peers or loved ones, and help you come to grips with death and process fears over end-of-life issues. The aging and geriatric counselors at Westlake Christian Counseling can also help families of seniors as they care for and support their loved ones.
