These years can be a time for real development and for positive change. The White Institute encourages growth throughout the entire life cycle, and it views each developmental era as one with its own challenges and opportunities. For many years White has offered an Older Adult Clinical Service in which highly trained and dedicated psychologists, psychiatrists, and clinical social workers, provide psychotherapy for people in their fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties. The Service offers individual, couples, group or family therapy, depending on each person's needs. There are now several ongoing therapy groups, and other groups will be started as required.
Experienced psychiatrists are always available for medication consultations.
Treatment takes place at the White Institute or in the therapist'sprivate office. The service can accept insurance coverage or Medicare in partial payment of fees, and it offers a flexible fee structure for people of limited means. Medicaid cannot be accepted, unless it is used in conjunction with Medicare. This is true whether one chooses to utilize treatment to address current difficulties, or to explore in greater depth the patterns of their past and present experiences and relationships.
