What does a therapy session look like?
The first session is about getting to know each other and deciding if we can work well together. I ask what the client wants to address or what concerns the family may have, and we see if we can set some goals and agree to move forward. Sessions are conversations about what is weighing on the client, the issues they want to resolve, and processing their feelings so that they can live the life they want and deal with the changes they are experiencing.
Educational Programs
We believe in raising awareness and helping to start the conversation on mental health. We are happy to offer presentations to seniors, families, staff and more. We can present at senior centers, support groups, senior living communities or somewhere else.

A Word From our Founder
I’m Ann Marie Sochia, founder of Silver Linings for Seniors, Inc. I welcome you to this site and offer a brief description of how and why Silver Linings came into being.
After establishing a successful holistic mental health counseling and wellness practice called Waves of Change, in Cary, NC, I began to see the need for a similar approach dedicated to meeting the needs of our elder population.
As people age, they often experience some form of stress, loss, and grief, and discover it’s harder to adjust to life’s challenges and find it hard to cope with the uncharted road ahead. It’s a time when family and friends begin to struggle as their loved ones start to change, physically, mentally or spiritually.
After being approached by a local senior residence community, I began to work with the Director of Wellness in that community to create a program and company specially designed to serve the elder population and their families. Silver Linings for Seniors, Inc. is the result of our efforts. Throughout this site, you will find detailed information about our services as they all focus on seniors, their families and community agencies that work with this population. These services include counseling in both individual and family sessions, loss and grief support, assessment, cognitive counseling, possible medication management, psychiatric services and much more
Whether your home is in an assisted living facility, retirement community, or a private home, if you find that you have questions or concerns about your mental state or need help with your medication management with the assistance of a Licensed Psychiatrist please reach out. Silver Linings offers confidential on and off-site services to meet your needs, and we accept several major insurances including Medicare and self-pay. At Silver Linings we specialize in counseling the elderly, and also offer counseling support services to their loved ones.
Thank you,
Ann Marie Sochia, MS, LCMHC, NLP, CHT
