You’re Not Done Growing: Faith-Based Counseling for Older Adults

Understanding Mental Health in Later Life

Mental health struggles in older adulthood are more common than many people realize. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, nearly 1 in 5 adults over age 60 experience a mental or emotional health challenge. These may include:

  • Grief and prolonged mourning
  • Depression and loss of motivation
  • Social withdrawal or isolation
  • Anxiety about health, safety, or the future
  • Cognitive and emotional decline related to medical conditions
  • Hopelessness or low self-worth

While these experiences are common, they are not inevitable—and they are treatable.


Unique Challenges for Older Adults in the Tucson Community

Living in the Tucson area offers many gifts, but older adults may face distinct mental health challenges here, including:

  • Social isolation in retirement communities or long-distance family dynamics
  • Limited mobility due to heat or transportation access
  • The emotional impact of caregiving for a spouse or friend
  • Lack of access to tailored mental health services
  • Increased loneliness

Our therapists understand these challenges and are trained to provide compassionate care that fits the realities of aging in Southern Arizona.
