Although getting older is an inevitable part of the human experience, we choose how we meet the tasks and challenges of aging.
We can buy into the fantasy and perpetuate the myth that we should look, feel, and act like we’re twenty, or we can organically evolve into someone more experienced, spiritual, and masterful.
Together, we can clear what’s getting in the way of you living your life to the fullest—whatever age you may be.
During the retirement or later years of life, many changes occur.
Welcoming new family members, developing new hobbies and purpose, and bidding people goodbye are often overarching themes that surface during this time in life.
They require flexibility and resiliency, and we will help you develop these skills and meet these new life tasks.
When met with flexibility and courage, seeing our transitions as opportunities, aging and retirement can be a time of profound joy—a great adventure free from the responsibilities of raising your children and full of opportunities to explore your own interests, activities, and relationships with family and friends.
Just as aging has its joys, so it has its struggles.
You may experience physical changes and a decline of mental abilities—which can both be difficult adjustments that bring up sadness and frustration.
We are here to help you to meet these challenges with tenacity, optimism, and compassion, seeing how these struggles can expand our inner landscapes and develop deep resources within.
The quality of your life during aging and retirement in part depends on your flexibility and how well you adjusted to transitions earlier in your life.
How you care for your mind, body, and soul while you meet these challenges are also vital aspects of wellbeing.
A common misconception is that aging automatically means we will experience poor health.
This is not necessarily true! Many of us know seniors who are swimming, hiking, and doing yoga in their 80’s and 90’s!
We’re so confident in our extraordinary therapists that we guarantee you’ll love your match – or your money back.
At My LA Therapy, our highly-vetted Anxiety experts are selected not only for their clinical acumen but for who they are.
Some goals and challenges you may face later in life are:
As mentioned before, while aging has its positive side, there are some challenges as well. This can include anything from:
Therapy can successfully improve your life by helping you minimize the anxiety in your life, identifying and changing underlying thought and behavioral patterns that contribute to your struggles, and providing you with strategies to decrease discomfort while restoring an overall sense of peace.
See the About Therapy page for a deeper look into this process.

I am blown away! I don’t write testimonials, unless I have been extremely moved by something. I was blessed to work with Brooke on a single session, and before this I was in therapy on and off with multiple therapists for the last 20 years of my life. Brooke was able to do more in one session than many years of work with my previous therapist. She has the true gift of great insight and compassion while also getting straight to the heart of your blind spots and unconscious issues in a way that has truly changed my life.

There are people who are good at their work there are people like Brooke: who are born to do it. I cannot recommend Brooke more highly. I can only imagine where I would be today if I had started working with her years ago. From the beginning of our session, she knew exactly what tools and questions that would work for my particular psychology and my personal experience. No other therapist has been able to do that or anything close.
What I also really appreciate from our session is Brooke's ability to go directly to the source of the issue while also keeping a very gentle and kind energy with me. I felt very seen, understood, and supported. Everything and more that I could have ever asked for from a therapist. I have a severe trauma history and complex issues she was able to immediately identify and help. If she could help me, I know she can help you too.

You did more in 45 minutes than my last therapist did in a year.

With your help, I've finally started to understand that while my vivid imagination often wants to create terrifying monsters under the bed, in a lot of cases those monsters are nothing more than a heap of decidedly less-terrifying laundry I've avoided for too long that just needs to be aired out and put away. Which is definitely a lot easier than monster slaying. Thank you for shedding light in the dark places I was too afraid to face alone.

I am extremely fortunate to work with Sydney, who is helping me create real internal change. The talent to listen well is Hall of Fame stuff, and she has that. She then follows with questions, strategies that are organic to the moment. I have come to believe that deep, radical, if occasionally deeply painful change ... and, then, healing can happen. I'm just at the lip of that last part - but would not have gotten there, AT ALL, without Sydney

The best therapist ever! Life-changing 🙂

Right now, the work is changing my life, sometimes in inches, sometimes in miles.
