Berkey What makes you enjoy working with seniors? I genuinely enjoy learning about the life stories, experiences, and wisdom that older adults bring. Their perspectives offer valuable insights, and I find it deeply meaningful to learn about them.

I also look forward to discovering how I can support them in enhancing their quality of life and mental health. Why do you think online therapy is effective for seniors? Online therapy increases accessibility and comfort, making it easier for older adults to receive care in a familiar, convenient environment.

It helps remove barriers such as transportation or mobility challenges, increasing the likelihood of consistent care. How do you approach therapy sessions? My therapeutic style is reflective and collaborative.

I work alongside clients as a partner in their healing process, encouraging thoughtful exploration of their experiences while helping them uncover patterns, insights, and strengths. I believe in creating space for reflection while also offering structure, tools, and support as we work toward meaningful change together. What is your advice to someone who is starting therapy for the first time?

Trust the process and be patient with yourself. Finding a therapist you feel safe and comfortable with is key. It's okay to feel unsure at first, what matters most is showing up with openness and a willingness to explore.
