This past summer I visited my Mom in her apartment, which is located in a retirement community in Pennsylvania. During the visit, we gathered with some residents in the common room and we were all talking. The residents told me that they really enjoyed the group conversation. So I had an idea for my area of Central Texas.

I’m Melissa Gaber, fully licensed psychotherapist and owner & operator of Gentle Connections Counseling since 2015. I've been seeing clients in my private practice for 11 years now.
Recently I created ✨ Therapy with a Twist ✨ “Therapy with a Twist” is designed for older adult residents in a retirement community or considering a move into one. |

Gentle Transitions
Gentle Transitions are supportive and meaningful conversations for older adults. Moving into a retirement community is more than a logistical decision, it's a deeply personal transition. I partner with retirement communities to support both prospective and new residents through this process in a way that feels genuinely kind and caring. |

Wellness Conversations
Wellness Conversations are engaging social discussions for residents. Residents gather and connect, share stories and explore the experiences that shape this stage of life. These conversations are designed to foster social connections, reflection and shared wisdom among residents. |
|
Group Therapy
By bringing therapy right into the community, residents receive a supportive and confidential space to talk more deeply about the emotional side of aging. Topics such as grief, loneliness, life transitions, relationship changes and health concerns. Led by a fully licensed therapist, these groups provide a structured setting where residents can receive support, gain insight, and connect with others facing similar experiences. |
*individual, family and couples counseling are also available privately, outside of the group setting*
