professionals we’ve trained to meet the mental health needs of older adults
People 65 and older are the fastest-growing population in the US, which means you're going to be seeing more older adults in your practice.
12.5 million older adults in the US have a mental health condition and the vast majority aren't getting the care they need.
Why? Largely because fewer than 5% of mental health professionals have specialized training to work with them.
When mental health conditions go untreated among older adults, they experience more physical health problems, more ER visits and hospitalizations, higher risk for dementia, more family strain, higher rates of suicide, and needless suffering.
Here's the good news: mental health conditions are treatable in older adulthood. With the right training, you can be the clinician who makes that difference.
We’re making it easier to find a licensed mental health providers like therapists, social workers, and psychologists, who specialize with older adults with our nationwide provider directory.

I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a Stanford-trained, clinical Geropsychologist and founder of the Center for Mental Health & Aging. For more than 20 years, I’ve worked with older adults and their families in some of the largest health care systems in the nation, including Stanford, Emory, and the Veterans Health Administration.
I’ve seen firsthand how hard it can be for older adults to find mental health providers who are truly trained to help them. The majority of older adults with mental health concerns do not receive the mental health care they need. The result? Worse medical outcomes, higher health care costs, family strain, and needless suffering.
That’s why I created the Center for Mental Health & Aging: to make sure you—and all mental health, health care, and aging services professionals—have the tools you need to meet the mental health needs of older adults.
