Mind Your Self provides compassionate, specialized mental health services for seniors and older adults throughout Texas. Based in San Antonio and serving clients across the state—including Austin, Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, El Paso, and all Texas communities—we offer convenient online therapy designed specifically for the unique needs of older adults.
Understanding Senior Mental Health
Mental health matters at every age, and older adults face unique challenges that deserve specialized care. According to the American Psychological Association, one in four adults ages 65 and older experiences a mental health problem such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, or dementia. Despite these statistics, many seniors don’t receive the support they need.
The National Council on Aging reports that people 85 and older have the highest suicide rate of any age group, with older white males facing rates almost six times that of the general population. These sobering statistics highlight why specialized geriatric mental health care is so critical.
At Mind Your Self, we’re dedicated to helping everyone get the mental health care they need—including our valued senior community. We can help.
Common Mental Health Challenges for Older Adults
Feeling depressed or anxious, especially as one grows older – is quite normal. Older people are often faced with barriers that younger individuals do not have – lack of mobility, transportation, stamina, medical equipment that makes travel difficult, confusion, and sometimes just simply an abundance of physical health problems.
