Psychology of Aging with Dr. Regina Koepp

Welcome to The Mental Health and Aging Podcast—your go-to resource for evidence-based strategies, mental health tools, and expert insights to support the psychological, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing of older adults.

Hosted by clinical geropsychologist and founder of the Center for Mental Health & Aging, Dr. Regina Koepp, this podcast is designed for therapists, psychologists, social workers, aging life care professionals, geriatric care managers, and healthcare providers who want to confidently address the mental health needs of older adults.

Most mental health and healthcare professionals were trained to focus on the physical changes of aging—but that’s only part of the picture.

This podcast explores the not-so-physical aspects of aging:

– How purpose and meaning evolve later in life
– The emotional and psychological impact of retirement and life transitions
– Spiritual growth that often accompanies physical decline
– Mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, grief, loneliness, and trauma
– And what actually works in therapy with older adults

🎙️ Each episode delivers:
✔️ Practical tools and mindset shifts you can use right away
✔️ Real-life stories of healing, growth, and transformation
✔️ Behind-the-scenes lessons from building a national movement for mental health and aging
✔️ Guidance from leaders in geropsychology, health psychology, palliative care, and beyond

Whether you’re seeking continuing education, clinical confidence, or a deeper understanding of how to help older adults thrive, this podcast is for you.

Because aging is more than decline. It’s development.

And there’s no expiration date on healing, transformation, or growth
