Therapy Isn’t Just for the Young: How Older Adults in North Carolina Can Benefit from Support
There’s a quiet myth out there that therapy is mostly for young people. But the truth? Older adults often carry some of the deepest stories — of love, loss, change, and resilience.
If you’re in your 50s, 60s, or beyond and wondering if therapy is “still for you,” the answer is yes. Whether you’re adjusting to retirement, navigating grief, feeling isolated, or facing long-buried wounds, counseling can be a powerful place to process, reflect, and find meaning.
At Journey Counseling PLLC, Rebecca Waters, LCMHC works with older adults in Gastonia and across North Carolina through online therapy. Her calm, grounded presence and faith-sensitive approach helps clients feel safe unpacking complex emotional and spiritual shifts.
Common reasons older adults seek therapy:
Grief and life after loss
Depression or low motivation
Health anxiety and aging-related concerns
Shifting family dynamics (like caregiving or grandparenting)
Spiritual or identity transitions
It’s never too late to grow, heal, or feel seen. Reach out today to learn more about individual therapy for older adults in North Carolina.
