Therapy for Older Adults in Iowa City & Coralville

Medicare-covered talk therapy for adults 65 and older across Iowa City, Coralville, and Johnson County, by video or phone from home.

Warm, at-home video and phone therapy for older adults in the Iowa City area

Brightrise brings compassionate, Medicare-covered mental health care to older adults in Iowa City, Coralville, North Liberty, and the wider Johnson County area. Our therapists specialize in later life, and because every session is by video or phone, you can be seen right from home.

Specialist-level care, without the wait

Johnson County is one of Iowa’s fastest-growing areas and a regional hub for health care. But even where medical care is close by, mental health support built specifically for older adults can be hard to find, and appointments can mean long waits and a trip across town. Brightrise fills that gap with therapists who focus on later life and who meet you at home, on your schedule.

What we help with

Grief and loss, depression, anxiety, adjusting to a new diagnosis or a hospital stay, loneliness, sleep problems, and caregiver strain — care designed for older adults rather than adapted from a general practice.

Beyond Iowa City

We serve older adults across the whole state by video and phone. See every area we cover on our Iowa therapy page, or our nearby Cedar Rapids page.
