Therapy for Seniors in Waterloo & Cedar Falls, Iowa

Warm, at-home video and phone therapy for older adults in the Cedar Valley

Brightrise brings compassionate, Medicare-covered mental health care to older adults in the Cedar Valley — Waterloo, Cedar Falls, and the surrounding Black Hawk County communities. Our therapists specialize in later life, and every session is by video or phone, so you can be seen right from home.

Cedar Valley care, from your own home

Waterloo and Cedar Falls together form the heart of the Cedar Valley, home to many older adults living independently. When winter weather sets in or driving becomes harder, keeping regular appointments can be a real challenge. Brightrise makes it simple: your therapist meets you by video or phone, so care continues no matter the season or how far you live from town.

What we help with

Grief and loss, depression, anxiety, adjusting to a diagnosis or hospital stay, loneliness, sleep trouble, and the strain of caring for a loved one — from clinicians who focus on older adults.

Beyond the Cedar Valley
