Senior Counseling NJ: A Compassionate Shoulder For Elder Citizens

April 3, 2013 - PRLog -- During each life cycle phase, we experience joy, pain, challenge, and triumph. The experiences and time frames in which the experiences are endured are unique with each individual. During the adolescent years, most of our time and experiences are shared with family, friends and classmates. The challenges we experience during this time are often family related challenges and the joys are as innocent as a first kiss. As we grow into adulthood, we spend most of our time with colleagues in the workplace. The little free time left is spent with family, pursuing a hobby or side business venture, and/or friends. This age group brings with it the joys of starting and expanding a family and/or career, and the challenges of managing time and finances.  As we enter the senior years, often referred to as the golden years, our experiences are more distinctive than any other period in the life cycle. The biggest triumph in this phase is the feeling of raising children into positive, successful adults. The joys stem from more time, freedom, and control over one’s life.  Unfortunately, many seniors are faced with challenges that supersede the joys and are not able to fully appreciate this phase of life.

Health issues are a leading challenge for seniors. Declining health and pain make it difficult for seniors to enjoy life. Physical symptoms often cause the senior to experience emotional challenges such as depression, anxiety, and frequent worry. Loneliness is another challenge that seniors face that contributes to emotional distress. Senior Counseling NJ is a premier service that specifically targets emotional distress in older adults. The organization Child and Family Solutions is a leading provider of supportive, confidential counseling services to older adults residing in New Jersey. The counselors are professionally licensed by the board of Marriage and Family Therapy and provide services that are individualized and person centered.  Virtues such as self-help and empowerment are woven throughout each session. Furthermore, the counselors are compassionate professionals who have been trained to provide non-judgmental emotional support; thereby bringing an overall feeling of wellness by reducing social isolation, depression, and anxiety.

While engaged in counseling sessions, seniors not only benefit from therapeutic interventions, the companionship brings the senior a sense of peace and clarity. The social aspect of counseling gives the senior, their feelings, and their viewpoint significance. This therapeutic counseling style not only keeps the senior engaged, but also helps them to realize they are still important and their voices are heard. Senior Counseling NJ at Child and Family Solutions provides an exceptional support service to protect, heal and help such elderly adults, by allowing service recipients to be independent and confident individuals in their later phase of life. Seniors are empowered with the skills to cope, adapt, and work through any challenges that arise in this life stage.
