Senior Life Solutions is dedicated to addressing the emotional and behavioral health needs of older adults through a multifaceted approach that combines therapeutic interventions and educational support.

In my role, I facilitate group therapy sessions, conduct individual therapy, and provide family counseling to help older adults navigate the various stressors associated with the aging process. These stressors may include, but are not limited to, loss of independence, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, medication management, and other related challenges.

Collaboration is key to our approach, and I work closely with a multidisciplinary team that includes a psychiatrist, program director, and registered nurse. Together, we create tailored treatment plans for each client, regularly adjusting them based on the individual’s evolving needs and progress.

As clients approach discharge, I liaise with external agencies and resources to ensure a seamless transition and continuity of care. Our commitment is to empower older adults to enhance their emotional and behavioral well-being, fostering a supportive environment that promotes healing and resilience.

I worked with a diverse range of clients, spanning from adolescents to older adults. My responsibilities included assessing clients' behaviors and needs to develop tailored treatment strategies. I have diagnosed various psychological, behavioral, and emotional disorders, and created individualized treatment plans that align with each client's specific requirements.

As necessary, I modified treatment methods and adjusted the intensity of therapy to effectively address the evolving needs of my clients. I placed a strong emphasis on collaboration, working closely with parents, guardians, local school staff, and external resources to ensure comprehensive support for each client. Additionally, I engaged with a multidisciplinary team that includes medical doctors, psychiatrists, social workers, and registered nurses to provide holistic care.

I also played a key role in providing resources and developing appropriate discharge plans to facilitate clients' successful transitions and continued progress
