We believe getting help when you need it should be easy
Getting support should never feel confusing, intimidating, or out of reach. But for many aging adults and the people who love them, it often does. Author Health was built to change that.
Care that meets you where you are
We focus on emotional and cognitive health for older adults, with care that works for the way people actually live.
Specialized care, built around real life
Our coordinated teams are trained to support older adults specifically, and we work alongside the doctors people already trust.
More good days ahead
Because with the right care, people can feel more like themselves again and continue writing their legacy.
Services and support
We're a team of clinicians, care managers, and partners that work together to make getting help later feel safe, simple, and respectful. We bring three core services together so your care feels connected, not more complicated.
Talk therapy
Our licensed therapists are here to understand and support you. Sessions happen by phone or video, we in-person support if needed.
Psychiatry & medication
Board-certified psychiatrists who specialize in older adult care can confirm diagnoses, prescribe medication when helpful, and coordinate with your other doctors.
Care management
A dedicated registered nurse and resource specialists pair up to keep everything connected, from your appointments to your care plan.
Real care. Real change.
Trust is earned one outcome at a time. Here's what our work has meant for the patients we serve.
A team trained for this stage of life
Our clinicians specialize in the mental health needs of older adults. That means they understand how these experiences show up differently later in life and how to best support you.

We're here to hear it all
Hear how the stories of how we’ve helped people enjoy the next chapter of their lives.
"The office staff is always attentive to my needs, answering questions and promptly returning phone calls. Sessions have been extremely helpful. If I need prescriptions or advice about medications, I simply call to make an appointment. I have been seeing therapists off and on since I was 18, and I have never received such supportive and compassionate care!"
Justine M.

"I’ve seen many therapists in my past with little to no success. With Author Health’s great team, the CBT sessions, and the tools I have acquired to help me, I finally have my life back and can enjoy living in the present."
Larry R.

"I have a great team who takes pride in their work, and I trust completely. I feel that my team sincerely cares about me. I'm not afraid to call you when I'm stressed beyond control. I feel that I am truly blessed to have this group in my corner."

“Author Health has helped me through tough times and was there for me when my family and I were homeless. I highly recommend this team. Thanks to them, I’m where I am today.”
Author Health Patient
“The care Author Health has provided is very difficult to come by in this day and age. I look forward to my appointments instead of with dread, knowing my best interests are your intentions.”
Author Health Patient
“Author Health has exceeded my expectations in every way. From excellent organization and client care to helpful counselors, I am very pleased.”
Author Health Patient
“Before I got involved with Author, I was a mess. Sometimes I didn’t take my medication, I wasn’t eating, my stomach hurt, my heart was going 100 miles an hour and I felt it in my throat. My doctor at Author gave me peace in my heart and in my mind—he gave me hope. I feel safe. I feel like I have someone that really cares.”
Author Health Patient
“I am making much better progress at this time and am extremely pleased and thankful that I am receiving the appropriate support and care that I was so desperately in need of. I am truly grateful.”

"Depression thrives on isolation and negative thought loops. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Behavioral Activation, we help clients reframe harmful thinking and safely re-engage with the activities, people, and experiences that bring genuine joy back to life."

"While medication management for Bipolar Disorder is crucial, evidence-based therapy provides the daily blueprint for stability. By identifying early triggers and building structured routines, we help clients minimize the highs and lows to achieve a steady, balanced baseline."
"Alzheimer's and dementia touch far more than the patient — they reshape the whole family. At Author, we build care around that reality, supporting patients and caregivers together, because no one should have to carry this alone."
"Sustainable recovery from Substance Use Disorder (SUD) requires treating the whole person, not just the symptom. Using trauma-informed care and individualized treatment plans, we empower clients to heal underlying wounds, leverage community support, and build a resilient foundation for long-term sobriety."
"Loss doesn't get easier to carry with age — if anything, grief in later life often arrives layered with health changes, loneliness, or losses stacked close together. That weight is real, and it's normal. But it doesn't have to be permanent. With the right support, older adults can hold onto who they've lost while still finding their way back to connection, comfort, and steadier days. "
“Mild cognitive impairment can be a daunting diagnosis when no one explains what you can do about it. You still have choices, and getting support can help. As a psychiatrist specialized in senior health, I have seen firsthand the difference having the right team behind you can make.”
"Dementia is an umbrella term meaning that someone is experiencing a decline in their brain functions that affects their ability to be independent in their personal affairs. Support, including medication management, varies by type of dementia. Often, patients are not diagnosed with dementia, not to mention the specific variety, leaving them and their families unsupported. Author Health is working to change that."
“People living with dementia do not always get the chance to share their full story. Many do not have a care team built around their needs. Caregivers often feel the same way. They may feel like no one is guiding or supporting them. With strong care coordination and support for both the person and the caregiver, life with dementia can feel safer, calmer, and more supported.”
"Anxiety traps the mind in the future, but grounding techniques pull you back to the present. We equip clients with pragmatic, evidence-based mindfulness and stress-management tools to calm an overactive nervous system and reclaim control in real-time."
“I didn’t realize how much I needed my Author Health therapist until I had them. I am able to begin my life again at 66 with their help understanding me.”
