Lisa Benaim, MSW, RSW at Balanced Journey Therapy
My name is Lisa and I am a registered social worker specializing in geriatrics. In my practice I focus on helping clients navigate the emotional and practical complexities of aging and caregiving.
Over the past 12 years, I have had the privilege of supporting families caring for loved ones with dementia or other neurodegenerative disorders.
I support families by:
- Assisting with decision-making and planning for the future
- Providing education and helping connect families to appropriate resources
- Offering family counselling when values or goals are not aligned
- Addressing the complex emotions that arise while strengthening capacity for coping and emotional resilience
I also work directly with older adults, offering counselling around common issues related to aging, including grief, isolation, adjustment to health changes, and life transitions.
I am currently accepting new referrals. I offer brief consultation phone calls to determine whether we are the right fit for one another. Please reach out if you are looking for support.
