Chronic or situational depression and/or anxiety can cause significant negative changes to your quality of life. Your symptoms can negatively impact your relationships, your work productivity and your health. If you're not feeling 'like yourself,' noticing changes in your sleep/appetite, losing interest in things you used to enjoy, or just going through difficult changes in your life, having someone to talk to can help. Usually, talking things through, practicing small lifestyle changes, learning a few coping tips, and doing some problem solving together can make all the difference.

Much of that focus has been working with older adults, and the glaring need for mental health services inspired me to start this practice.
Getting older is part of every person's journey, and it comes with many rewards. But, we recognize that aging can bring unwanted burdens - new limitations, medical concerns, feeling overwhelmed and worried about day to day tasks. Maybe you're caregiving for a loved one, or maybe you are a loved one frustrated with the challenges aging can bring. At American Elder Care, we listen, we work to create realistic goals that improve mood, decrease anxiousness and sadness, while focusing on creating improved quality of life and connection, giving peace of mind.

Life can feel deeply overwhelming and struggles at times seem insurmountable. Grief, depression, anxiety, outside expectations, and other mental health challenges can make it difficult to identify and experience life's joys. I seek to serve people who have been marginalized/othered or felt uncomfortable with traditional therapy: People who identify as LGBTQIA, BIPOC, polyamorous individuals/families, people living with physical, intellectual, or developmental disability, and those living with chronic and severe mental illness.

Can dementia patients benefit from counseling?
Dementia patients can often benefit significantly from counseling. While neurologists typically treat dementia itself, counselors provide crucial emotional support for patients and their families. Therapists specializing in dementia can help clients navigate aging, end-of-life issues, social isolation, sleep challenges, and grief. They can also assist clients in adapting to the disease by addressing caregiving concerns and supporting family members. Counselors will often also collaborate with a patient's neurologist or other medical providers to manage dementia symptoms and medication needs.
How can you tell if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's?
To determine if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's disease, there are several signs and diagnostic methods that medical professionals use. Early signs of dementia often include memory loss, difficulty with problem-solving, and challenges in completing familiar tasks. Diagnosing dementia or Alzheimer's requires a comprehensive approach, as there is no single definitive test, and initial diagnosis can sometimes be difficult as symptoms tend to worsen progressively over time. To make a diagnosis, medical professionals typically use a combination of methods, including standardized questionnaires and cognitive tests to assess memory, attention, and problem-solving skills, psychiatric evaluations to understand mental health status, brain scans to look for physical changes in the brain, as well as other medical tests to rule out other conditions.
What are the first-line treatment options for Alzheimer’s disease?
There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, but catching the disease in its early-to-moderate phases can be beneficial in order to initiate first-line treatments to help manage symptoms. Medications such as galantamine, rivastigmine, and donepezil are examples of cholinesterase inhibitors that are commonly prescribed for Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, working with a therapist or social worker can also often help patients with the disease address common behavioral and lifestyle concerns, such as anxiety, depression, irritability, sleep problems, social support, and housing changes.
When to seek treatment for Alzheimer’s?
It’s best to seek treatment at the first signs of Alzheimer's. Early warning signs of Alzheimer’s include memory problems, such as forgetting appointments or directions, as well as trouble concentrating, paying attention, retrieving words, and carrying out daily household tasks. An early diagnosis can help people slow the progression of the disease with medication and plan for the future in terms of housing, social/caregiving support, and finances.
