Senior Peer Counseling is supportive counseling (not therapy) between two people who have something in common. Our Senior Peer Counselors provide goal-oriented counseling on a short-term basis to address problems and life adjustments. Emphasis is on developing coping skills and expanding one’s knowledge and use of resources.
Volunteer Senior Peer Counselors are caring individuals who offer to listen and support other seniors. Through counseling, seniors gain a healthier perspective and find better emotional balance. 12 sessions of supportive counseling are offered free of cost, either in person or remote. Each Senior Peer Counselor has completed an in-depth training program focusing on how to help other older adults navigate life’s many transitions and challenges of aging. Senior Peer Counselors receive ongoing supervision by licensed clinical staff.
