Anne Termini

I work with adults 55 and older who are dealing with big life changes — illness, caregiving, grief, retirement, or simply finding themselves in a chapter they didn’t plan for.

A lot of my clients come in because something has shifted. A diagnosis. A loss. The exhaustion of caring for someone else. Or that feeling of, “This isn’t the life I pictured.”

I’ve worked for many years alongside palliative care teams and with people living with serious illness. I understand how overwhelming medical decisions, uncertainty, and anticipatory grief can be.

I also know loss personally. My husband died after a battle with cancer, and rebuilding my own life changed how I sit with others. I don’t just understand this work professionally — I’ve lived parts of it.

Most of the people I see aren’t looking for years of therapy. They want a place to sort through what’s happening, get steadier, and figure out what comes next. We usually work together for a focused stretch — anywhere from a few sessions to a few months.

We meet by telehealth. It’s simple and private, and I’ll handle the logistics.

I’m straightforward and practical.

If there’s a problem we can solve, we’ll work on solving it.

If there isn’t a clear solution, we’ll work on acceptance, boundaries, and building support so you’re not carrying everything alone.

I’m not big on jargon. I care about helping you feel clearer and more grounded in your actual life — not just in the therapy room.

In our first session, I’ll ask what brought you here, what you’re hoping for, and what feels most overwhelming right now.

From there, we’ll set clear goals for our work together. You can expect honesty, warmth, and respect. I won’t overpromise. I will show up fully.

If you’re facing something heavy and want grounded, experienced support — I’m here.
