Later-Life Transitions

The later chapters deserve support too.

Aging brings changes that no one quite prepares you for: shifting health, changing roles, loss, and sometimes a diagnosis that reshapes what comes next. Support can make the difference in how you navigate it.

If life is changing for you

Support for the person

A new diagnosis, memory changes, or a season of loss can stir up grief, anxiety, and fear. Therapy gives you a steady place to process what is happening, hold onto your sense of who you are, and make the decisions that matter to you. The goal is not to fix what cannot be fixed. It is to help you meet this chapter with support, dignity, and clarity.

If you are caring for someone you love

Support for families

Caring for a parent or partner with dementia or a chronic illness carries a weight that is often invisible to everyone around you, including the grief of losing someone who is still here. Therapy gives you a space that is about you, so you can set sustainable boundaries, ease the daily overwhelm, and protect your own wellbeing while you show up for theirs.

As a Certified Dementia Practitioner, Jeannine brings specialized training to this work.

Therapeutic Modalities

Trained in evidence-based methods.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

CBT

A practical, structured approach that helps you notice the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together we identify the patterns keeping you stuck and build concrete tools you can use in the moments that feel hardest. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and stress, giving you a clearer sense of how to respond rather than react.

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing

EMDR

An evidence-based therapy designed to help you process difficult or traumatic experiences that still feel present. EMDR uses gentle, guided techniques to help your brain reprocess painful memories so they lose their grip. You don't need to relive every detail or find the right words. The goal is to help you feel less controlled by the past and more grounded in the present.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

TF-CBT

A compassionate, structured approach for working through trauma at a pace that feels safe. TF-CBT combines practical coping skills with careful processing of difficult experiences, helping you understand how trauma has shaped your responses and build a sense of steadiness again. It offers both the structure and the flexibility to meet you where you are.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

SFBT

A forward-looking approach that focuses less on analyzing the problem and more on building the change you want to see. Together we identify your strengths, clarify your goals, and take practical steps toward them. SFBT is collaborative and hopeful, helping you recognize what's already working and create meaningful progress in a shorter timeframe.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What can I expect during my first therapy session?
Your first session is a conversation. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you're hoping to work on, and any history that feels relevant. You don't need to come prepared with the right words or a clear plan. My job is to listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and help you feel comfortable. By the end, we'll have a sense of how to move forward together.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
Most people who come to therapy aren't in crisis. They are navigating something that feels harder than it should, a relationship, a transition, a pattern they keep repeating, a weight they've been carrying alone. Therapy gives you space to make sense of it with someone trained to help. If you've been wondering whether to reach out, that wondering is usually worth a conversation.
What are the benefits of individual therapy for anxiety?
Therapy helps you understand what's driving the anxiety, not just manage the symptoms. You learn to notice your patterns, work with your nervous system instead of against it, and build practical tools for the moments anxiety shows up. Over time, the goal isn't to eliminate anxiety, it's to feel less controlled by it and more confident in your ability to respond.
Do you work with older adults facing retirement, aging, and other later-life transitions?
Yes. Retirement and aging change your routine, your independence, and your sense of purpose, often all at once, and that adjustment tends to be bigger than people expect. Therapy gives you space to grieve what ended, separate your worth from what you did for a living, and stay connected when your world starts to feel smaller. The goal is to adapt to what's changed without losing your sense of who you are.
What support do you offer around dementia and cognitive decline?
A diagnosis lands on the whole family, not just the person receiving it. For the individual, therapy can support mental engagement, reduce distress, and protect dignity for as long as possible. For families, it helps with the harder conversations, the shifting roles, and the grief that often starts long before anyone expects it. I work with individuals, with family members, and with both together.
Do you offer support for caregivers?
Yes. Caregiver support is a specialized focus of my practice. Whether you're caring for a parent with dementia, a partner with a chronic illness, or a family member with complex needs, the emotional load is real, overwhelming and is often invisible to others. Therapy gives you a space that's about you, not the person you're caring for, so you can process what's happening, set sustainable boundaries, and protect your own wellbeing.
Do you offer telehealth or in-person sessions?
Both. I am located in Fort Lauderdale. Telehealth is available for clients across Florida who prefer the flexibility of online sessions.
What insurance plans do you accept?
I currently accept Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Optum, Evernorth, Medicare, and UnitedHealthcare. Private pay is available for those who prefer not to use insurance, starting at $165 per session. It means no diagnosis on file, no cap on the number of sessions, and your treatment details stay out of your insurance record. If you don't see your plan listed, reach out, I can help you understand your options.
How do I schedule a first appointment?
Send a brief message through the contact form or book an initial consultation using the 'request appointment' button. I'll reply within two business days to schedule a 15-minute consultation. The consultation is a chance to hear about your situation, answer your questions, and decide together whether to book a first full session.
