Mental Health + Aging with Dr. Regina Koepp

#001- Welcome to the Psychology of Aging!


Listen Later

The Psychology of Aging Podcast answers common questions about aging, like: 

>> What does a normal aging process look like? 
>> Why are family relationships in older adulthood so complicated? 
>> Do older adults still have sex? 
>> Why is driving such a big deal to older adults? 
>> When should older adults retire? 
>> What does optimal health and wellness look like in older adulthood?

I even talk about the painful side of aging and address challenges that families face with illness, dementia, caregiving, and even end of life.

Like I say in my therapy groups: "No topic is off topic, we just have to have a healthy way of talking about it"

I'm Dr. Regina Koepp, I'm a Board Certified Clinical Psychologist and I specialize with older adults and families. I'm an Assistant Professor at a major medical school in Atlanta, and I work as a Clinical Psychologist at the in a busy medical center in Atlanta, GA, where I provide individual, couples, and family therapy for older adults and their families.

For several years, I was a Professor of Gerontology (that's a fancy word for the study of older adults and aging), where I taught a course in the Psychology of Aging for a graduate Gerontology program. I recently stopped my role as a professor in this department so that I could bring the Psychology of Aging straight to you.

You can learn more about me and the Psychology of Aging here!

My hope is that this podcast will open dialogues, build bridges between generations, broaden our understanding of the aging process, dispel myths, challenge stereotypes, and promote health and well-being for older adults and their families.

So, If you’re caring for an aging loved one, or are a professional providing services to older adults and their families, you're in the right place. Let's get started
