For adults 65+ · Maryland telehealth
A new chapter, on your own terms.
Considered, unhurried therapy for later adulthood: retirement, loneliness, changes in health, and the search for renewed purpose. By secure video, across Maryland.
Later adulthood is not a decline to manage. It is a life stage with its own real questions, some of them the hardest and most interesting a person will ever face, and it deserves therapy that treats it that way.
C-G Health provides telehealth psychotherapy across Maryland for adults 65 and older, in English or French.
The questions that arrive in this stage
Retirement, and the particular disorientation of no longer being defined by work. The loneliness that can build after a long marriage ends, or after friends and siblings begin to die. Health changes, chronic conditions, mobility loss, the first honest signals of cognitive change, and the identity work that goes with them.
The role of caregiver for a spouse, a sibling, or an adult child, and the exhaustion that gets normalised inside that role. The relationships with adult children and grandchildren that may need attention. And, for many, the deeper question of purpose in this stretch of life: what it is for, what it asks of you, and what you still want to build.
Grief in later adulthood
This is the stage of life where grief arrives most often and most closely: the death of a partner, a sibling, or a peer. The slow ambiguous loss of a spouse with dementia. The loss of the body you had, or the community that has scattered. Sessions make honest, unhurried room for all of it.
Grief work here is not about a return to normal. It is about integration: a life that continues past the loss, in a shape that includes it.
How the work is structured
Sessions are held through secure video, which makes the practice accessible for people whose mobility, energy, caregiving load, or geography would make in-person visits difficult. The technology is set up in the first session and is straightforward from then on; a phone or tablet is enough.
The therapeutic frame is warm, direct, and structured. It draws on cognitive behavioral tools for the anxious loops that often arrive in this stage, schema therapy for lifelong patterns worth revisiting now, and psychodynamic depth for the questions that deserve real thought.
Renewed purpose
The through-line of the practice, becoming the author of your own life, has a particular resonance in later adulthood. You have more of a life to look back on and enough of a life ahead to shape. Therapy in this stage is often the most creative, honest, and unhurried work a person will ever do.
