Supporting Wellness Psychological and Family Services is deeply committed to addressing the crucial aspect of seniors' mental health. We understand that geriatric mental health is a multifaceted issue that requires meticulous attention, compassion, and specialized care.
As we age, our lives undergo significant changes that can often be challenging to navigate. Transition periods such as retirement, adjusting to an empty nest, dealing with grief and loss, combating loneliness, or grappling with the question of what comes next in life can feel overwhelming. You do not have to face these transitions alone.
In the face of these major life shifts, professional psychological support can provide necessary guidance and assistance. A dedicated Red Deer psychologist can help facilitate the process of exploring your options, understanding the complexities of life changes, and developing healthy coping mechanisms.
Our primary emphasis is on creating a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment where seniors can express their concerns, fears, or anxieties without hesitation or fear of judgment.
We are eager to break down the stigma surrounding mental health in older adults. It is essential to communicate that seeking therapy and psychological support is never a sign of weakness. Instead, it is a profound act of strength and self-care. Therapy can offer highly beneficial tools for managing stress, improving emotional well-being, and enhancing your overall quality of life.
At Supporting Wellness Psychological and Family Services, we firmly believe that mental wellness is just as important as physical wellness, especially for seniors. We are dedicated to ensuring that older adults understand the immense value of therapy and maintain their mental health as they navigate through their golden years.
Your mental wellness matters to us, and our Red Deer therapists are ready to help you one-on-one, supporting you every step of the way.

The number of sessions we recommend is unique to each person. During your initial consultation, we can suggest a starting plan, and we will work collaboratively with you throughout the process, adjusting as needed to support your goals and achieve the best possible outcomes.
The cost of a 50-minute therapy session is typically $235, though fees may vary depending on the type of therapy and the therapist providing the service.
