Is therapy helpful even if I’m not in crisis?

Yes. Many older adults come to therapy not because of a crisis, but because they want support in making sense of change, purpose, grief, or identity. You don’t need a diagnosis or a major problem, just the desire to care for your mental and emotional health.

Do you work with grief or health-related losses?

Absolutely. We offer support for grief, chronic illness, and the emotional impact of aging-related health changes. Therapy can help you process loss, manage fears, and adjust with more confidence.

What is a grey divorce and how do you support it?

Grey divorce refers to separation or divorce that happens later in life. It brings unique challenges around identity, finances, family, and social roles. Therapy offers a nonjudgmental space to process this transition and rebuild.

Can you help with menopause or perimenopause issues?

Yes. These hormonal transitions can bring emotional shifts, anxiety, and identity changes. We offer support for menopause and perimenopause, including emotional regulation and self-care strategies.

Is therapy for seniors different from other therapy?

While the tools may be similar, the focus is tailored to your stage of life. We honor your lived experience and help you explore what matters now, whether that’s independence, meaning, grief, or connection.

How much does therapy cost?

Individual sessions are $235, and couples sessions are $250. We offer receipts for reimbursement and some of our therapists provide direct billing to Medavie (RCMP, Veterans Affairs, Canadian Forces), Alberta Blue Cross, and are approved providers for Calgary Police Service.
