About Us

At Total Life, we believe that aging is a journey that shouldn't be traveled alone. We are on a mission to revolutionize healthier aging by combating the silent epidemic of mental health issues and social isolation among the elderly. Our work is driven by a deep-seated commitment to making quality, affordable emotional support services easily accessible to a demographic that is too often overlooked in the digital health revolution.

We are a behavioral health company solely dedicated to the geriatric population. Our values are rooted in empathy, evidence-based care, and accessibility. We recognize that mental health in later life is deeply connected to a person’s community and support system. When you join Total Life, you aren't just joining a platform—you are joining a movement to ensure that every senior, and the family that surrounds them, has a partner in their mental health journey.

We are looking for clinicians who view mental health through a systemic lens and are passionate about helping elderly clients navigate changing roles with adult children, the weight of spousal loss, and the shifting dynamics of late-stage family life.

Your Role

• Relational Support: Address profound issues of loneliness and isolation through a systemic therapeutic approach that reconnects seniors to their world.
• Navigating Transitions: Help seniors and their support networks manage the emotional toll of aging, cognitive decline, and intergenerational stressors.
• Evidence-Based Practice: Utilize psychotherapy and evidence-based approaches (CBT, DBT, and Family Systems) to improve outcomes for both the individual and their family unit.

Schedule
