Depression and anxiety are common experiences in the later stages of life. Isolation, grief and loss, and general life reflection may be hard to process without proper support and coping skills. The counselors at O'Leary Counseling LLC provide invaluable support to those transitioning into the golden years of life. During a person's golden years, healthy relationships are essential to quality of life. Because our counselors work with the entire family, we are skilled at exploring and fostering healthy relationships.
Group therapy offers a unique environment with the purpose of maintaining and growing healthy social relationships. Our counselors utilize group therapy to promote healthy socialization and eliminate isolating patterns of behavior, a leading cause of depression in older adults. The therapeutic environment encourages social support in dealing with similar struggles across members, as well as the development of coping skills and increased self-awareness. The outcomes of group therapy include heightened self-esteem, installation of hope, social connectedness, existential understanding, and improved mental health.
Currently, O'Leary Counseling LLC is seeking to provide group therapy to residents of Assisted Living Facilities. Please see the attached flyer if you or your facility are interested in our services. Additionally, individual and family sessions can be scheduled at the O'Leary Counseling office in Barrington, NJ by calling (856) 547-1107 or by visiting our website at olearycounseling.com
