Hi, I’m Dr. Weston Donaldson. I help LGBTQ+ people over 50 cope with changes, stress, and difficult feelings associated with getting older. My work with my clients focuses on grief support, dementia caregiving, and adjusting to health challenges. Moving through midlife into older adulthood brings with it retirement, relationship endings, bereavement, and questions of identity and contribution. You don’t have to go through it alone. With my experience in aging care and medical settings, and LGBTQ+ mental health, I am specially qualified to sit with people in these difficult situations and provide not only support but help identify what will be most fulfilling and helpful in moving forward. My work with clients is collaborative, as I trust that if you have gotten this far, there are some strengths we can build on to address your current challenges. I take an active approach in helping you to find actionable steps and put helpful skills to use in the service of reducing suffering and moving toward what is most important to you. What keeps me doing this work is seeing people make meaningful changes, find peace and self-acceptance, and tap into their strengths to move forward in adversity. I believe that we have the capacity to engage in our lives in new ways, at any age. Dedicating time to therapy can be an important step in sorting things out. It would be my honor to work together to face these challenges.
