Geriatric Psychiatry

Older-Adult Focused • Thoughtful • Coordinated

Specialized psychiatric care for older adults and the changes that come with aging.

Geriatric psychiatry focuses on mental health in later life, including mood and anxiety concerns, sleep problems, grief and life transitions, memory changes, and the emotional impact of medical illness. We consider the whole picture—medical history, medications, cognitive changes, and family input (with consent)— to create a safe, personalized plan.
