Senior Outpatient Therapy Program

Aging brings many joys – more time with family and freedom in retirement – but our older years can also bring difficult life transitions, including losing loved ones and stress from age-related health concerns.

We partner with Senior Life Solutions^® at MyMichigan Medical Centers in Gladwin and Standish, an intensive outpatient group therapy program designed to meet the unique needs of older adults, typically ages 65 and older, struggling with symptoms of depression and anxiety often related to aging.

If you, or someone you know, have recently experienced any of the following, this program might be right for you:

• Recently experienced a traumatic event
• Loss a spouse or close family member
• Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities
• Changes in appetite
• Difficulty sleeping or changes in sleep patterns
• Loss of energy
• Feelings of sadness or grief lasting more than two weeks
• Feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness

You meet up to three times per week in a supportive, encouraging group setting following an individual assessment.

The program staff includes:

• A board-certified psychiatrist
• Licensed social workers
• A registered nurse
• Other professionals dedicated to the emotional well-being of the seniors in our community
