Caring for Aging Parents

Find Your Counselor

About

Aging is a difficult and daunting prospect for all of us, but it’s also inevitable. It can be difficult to see our parents grow older, but don’t forget we’re all aging at EXACTLY the same rate, one day at a time. Are you caring for someone who is losing the ability to drive? Showing signs of dementia? In the midst of constant loss? Aging parents are not the only people going through extreme changes in their lives; this is your change, too!

For those of us in the sandwich generation (caring for aging parents while raising children of our own), it’s difficult to be available for the elders in our lives while juggling the demands of parenthood. What do they need from us, and how can we muster the energy to help? Counseling can help you feel supported, centered, and capable in this tough time. It can help you strengthen skills to help you empathize with your aging loved one and understand how their physical, social, cognitive, and emotional world is changing.

Signs and Symptoms

  • life transitions
  • grief
  • balancing children and parents
  • cultural considerations
  • anxiety

How does Lifeologie help?

Discuss your concerns with our intake specialists.

When you reach out to a Lifeologie, you’ll be connected with one of our Intake Specialists. In a “call center?” No way. Our specialists are each located in their local Lifeologie office and know the counselors well. Their entire job is to learn about you and what you’re looking for and to match you with the counselor who will be the very best fit for your needs and preferences.

Find a counselor that is passionate about helping you reach your mental health goals.

Our counselors are literally the cream of the crop. We get hundreds of applications every year to intern and work at our offices. Lifeologists are counselors, life coaches and overall wellness advocates who are experts and specialists in their craft. At the intern level, they have set themselves apart as incredible learners and collaborators, chasing after the highest-level trainings in the field. From EMDR to nutrition coaching to brain spotting and addiction specialists, we have you covered. Once you enter a Lifeologie office, you’ll find that we’ve carefully curated the environment to feel modern, comfortable and inviting. Counseling at Lifeologie is not your typical counseling experience – in any way.

Receive continuous support and guidance as you go on your mental health journey.

Your counselor at Lifeologie will meet you wherever you are, whether you’re just starting in counseling for the first time ever… or returning to a life-long counseling journey after a brief break. Your Lifeologist will partner with you to meet your goals. As you learn and grow, we can help you focus on overall wellness through mindfulness practices such as Psychotherapeutic Yoga or mindful eating. Wherever you are, we can come alongside and help you move forward!
