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.
