Leah Maihos
Navigating life transitions and the challenges of aging can be daunting and unpredictable. By discussing these challenges, clients can gain control and make meaningful changes. I specialize in working with older adults who have experienced various issues, including loss, depression, medical complications, decreased independence, and the unique challenges of aging in both home and institutional settings. I also work with clients in hospice care, striving to offer a comforting and supportive environment as they near the end of their life. My goal is to help clients adapt to the changes that come with older adulthood and confidently approach their new circumstances wherever they are in their life journey.
First session
Our first session will cover a client's history and the reasons for seeking therapy.
Strengths
I use empathetic and active listening to understand clients' lives and how I can support them. I use a non-judgmental approach and focus on the client's autonomy.
Ideal clients
I am passionate about working with aging individuals. I enjoy learning about their lived experiences and how I can support their needs in their current stage of life.
Treatment methods
Positive Psychology
I identify and use the positive factors and influences in client's lives as motivators.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I assist clients in identifying what is not working for them and self-limiting beliefs that could be holding them back from making changes in their lives.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Clients are experts in their own lives. I offer my support to help them navigate their experiences and support their autonomy in decision-making.
