Improving the Lives of Older Adults
Counseling & Case Management
You may find yourself faced with concerns or problems including increased isolation, limited physical ability, or loss of a spouse. Whatever the situation you may find yourself in, speaking with a non-judgmental and caring professional can make a difference. Treatment for Depression, Anxiety, Loss, Life Transitions, Isolation, and more. Counseling is provided conveniently at your place of residence: In-Home, Assisted Living Community, Board and Care Home, and select Skilled Nursing Facilities.

We also provide geriatric case management. When you observe mental or physical decline in the life of an older loved one whether they live nearby or in another area it can be overwhelming to know what to do or how to help. Developing a plan with a licensed professional who has experience in the geriatric field and knowledge of the available resources can help determine the best course of action.
We serve the SF East Bay Area.
