Medicare-covered talk therapy for adults 65 and older across Cedar Rapids and Linn County, by video or phone from the comfort of home.
Brightrise brings compassionate, Medicare-covered mental health care to older adults in Cedar Rapids and the surrounding Linn County communities — including Marion, Hiawatha, and Robins. Our therapists specialize in later life, and every session is by video or phone, so you can be seen right from home.
As Iowa’s second-largest city and the anchor of the Cedar Rapids–Iowa City Corridor, Cedar Rapids is home to a large and growing number of older adults. Even so, getting to appointments across the metro can be hard once driving gets difficult or health limits how far you can travel. Brightrise removes that hurdle entirely: your therapist meets you at home, with no parking ramps, winter roads, or waiting rooms to manage.
Grief and loss, depression, anxiety, adjusting to a diagnosis or a hospital stay, loneliness, sleep trouble, and the strain of caring for a loved one — all delivered by clinicians who focus on older adults, not a general caseload.
We serve older adults across the whole state by video and phone. See every area we cover on our Iowa therapy page, or, if you’re nearby, our Iowa City & Coralville page.
No driving, no waiting rooms, no complicated forms. If you can answer the phone, you can get care.
