Therapy for Adult Families & Aging Parents

You are caught in the middle—parenting your own children while navigating the increasing needs of your aging parents. This "Sandwich Generation" stress is unique and exhausting. Whether it’s sibling conflict over caretaking, the grief of cognitive decline, or the complex decision to move a parent, PPG provides the expert facilitation needed to handle these transitions with dignity and clarity.

Our approach

The Insight

We identify the "Old Roles" that reappear in a crisis. When an aging parent needs help, adult siblings often revert to their 10-year-old selves. We help you move past these old dynamics to act as the adults your parents need now.

The Action

We facilitate High-Stakes Family Meetings. We provide a neutral, clinically guided space to make hard decisions about care, finances, and legacy, ensuring that the "business of aging" doesn't destroy the "heart of the family."

Clinical methods

Facilitated Family Meetings

Professional mediation for adult siblings and aging parents.

Caretaker Burnout Support

Tangible strategies for self-care while navigating a parent’s decline.

Grief & Anticipatory Loss Counseling

Processing the "Slow Goodbye" of chronic illness or dementia.
