Institute on Aging's Department of Psychology is one of the largest and most established programs in San Francisco providing comprehensive mental health services tailored to the specific needs of older adults.

Specialized Mental Health Care for Seniors

Our clinicians specialize in understanding the effects of aging on the body and the mind and providing mental health services tailored to the unique needs of older adults. We deliver caring and culturally sensitive support where it is most convenient for our clients—at home, residential communities, day programs, or in our offices. Services are provided to San Francisco residents.

Each month we host continuing education opportunities for professionals in the field of aging, presenting cutting edge research and case studies related to meeting the mental health needs of older adults.
