Therapy for Seniors in Council Bluffs, Iowa (Medicare)

Warm, at-home video and phone therapy for older adults in the Council Bluffs area

Brightrise brings compassionate, Medicare-covered mental health care to older adults in Council Bluffs and the surrounding Pottawattamie County communities in southwest Iowa. Our therapists specialize in later life, and every session is by video or phone, so you can be seen right from home.

Southwest Iowa care, without the commute

Council Bluffs sits at the western edge of Iowa in the Loess Hills, part of a busy metro area. Even close to a city, older adults often find it hard to get to appointments once driving becomes difficult or a health condition limits travel. Brightrise comes to you instead — no traffic, no parking, no waiting room, just a therapist who understands later life.

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 — care built for older adults.
