MENTAL HEALTH FOR OLDER ADULTS
Cambridge Health Alliance offers mental health and
counseling services for adults aged 60 and over through our Harvard-affiliated
Department of Psychiatry. These services can help older adults deal
with common issues such as depression, and changes in behavior or
mental status.
Our offices are based at the Central Street Health Center in Somerville,
but we also offer a home visiting program. Depending on your needs,
the service may include one-on-one counseling, family therapy, or
group treatment.
