We strive to ease the challenges of aging for older adults and their family members or caregivers through delivery of exceptional, culturally competent mental health care.
Target Population
We serve individuals aged 60 years and older with psychiatric illness, or caregivers with psychiatric illness or younger individuals with brain disease.
Description of Service Providers
Our service is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare providers representing nursing, social work, psychology and psychiatry.

Our service provides an array of treatments including individual, family and group counseling. When appropriate, we collaborate with a patient’s primary care physician to provide pharmacotherapy (the use of specialized medications for the treatment of mental disorders such as depression or anxiety).
