About

Geriatric mental health therapy for California's skilled nursing population is the specialty of Geriatric Counseling Services in La Mesa Village, operating from La Mesa Boulevard under the DBA Game-Changing Counseling Services since 1992. On-site psychologists and LCSW-credentialed social workers deploy directly into long-term care buildings, coordinating with home-health agencies such as Senior Helpers to maintain behavioral health continuity during care transitions. HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions extend the practice's reach to adults outside of skilled nursing, offering phone-based and online counseling for age-related anxiety, depression, and Alzheimer's-associated behavioral disruption. Customized workplace violence prevention training for healthcare employees builds de-escalation protocols alongside cognitive-behavioral providers such as Brain Learning Psychological Corporation that serve the same East County elder-care corridor. Federal and state compliance consulting helps long-term care facilities meet CMS Conditions of Participation for psychosocial services, including MDS 3.0 mental health screening documentation and care-plan integration requirements.
