Since its inception in the early 1970s, CJE has been at the forefront of providing counseling services to older adults, their family members and caregivers.
CJE Counseling Services is staffed by a team of highly-skilled Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) who are specialists in the field of mental health services for seniors.
Services are available as home or office visits.

Sleep problems are common at any age, with insomnia alone affecting up to 30% of the population. Join us for an intriguing discussion with Dr. Jennifer Mundt about the most common sleep disorders and practical suggestions for how we can improve our sleep. Dr. Mundt is an expert in cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), the gold standard treatment for insomnia, and will provide an overview of CBT-I strategies. She will also discuss whether there is scientific evidence that the popular supplement CBD can improve sleep. |
