For more than 20 years, I’ve worked with older adults in some of the largest healthcare systems in the nation, like Stanford, Emory, the Veterans Health Administration, and seen first hand the barriers older adults face in getting the mental health care they need.
In fact, the majority of older adults with mental health concerns DO NOT get the mental health care they need, resulting in worse medical problems, increased risk of dementia, higher health care costs, family strain, and needless suffering.
This has inspired my mission of ensuring that you, and all mental health and senior care professionals, have the tools you need to treat the mental health needs of older adults.
I'm Dr. Regina Koepp. I'm a Stanford-trained, board certified clinical psychologist, clinical geropsychologist and founder of the Center for Mental Health & Aging, and the presenter of this course. I've dedicated my career to equipping mental health professionals with the skills needed to serve older adults.
With this comprehensive certificate program, you’ll learn my exact strategies for providing effective, ethical, and transformative care for older clients.
It's only with your help that older adults will get the mental health care they need. So, thank you for being here and doing your part.

Specialized training in mental health and aging helps you rise above crowded markets—whether you’re in private practice, healthcare systems, or older adult care settings. The Certificate in Mental Health + Aging signals advanced expertise to referral partners, helping you attract higher-quality referrals and position yourself as a leader in the field.

Great question! This certificate program is designed to elevate your expertise and open new doors of opportunity in your career as a mental health professional. Here's how:
As one of the most insightful and influential voices in mental health and aging, Dr. Koepp's unique and pro-aging approach to therapy has created a global phenomenon. As a practicing psychologist, thought leader and one of the leading experts on mental health and aging, Dr. Koepp takes you on a learning journey that will reshape how you think about aging and treat your clients. You'll be able to take away an approach that supports clients through the many complexities common with aging in a human-centered, pro-aging, and non-pathologizing way.
This 18-hour course will be released over a 5-week period. On each Monday at 9am EST, you'll receive 2-4 recorded trainings. This course will not be offered live. But, there will be 3 live Community sessions during this 5 week period.
No, this course is a hybrid bringing you the benefits of both recorded video and live components. Since training LIVE with a world-renowned expert for over 20 hours could cost thousands of dollars, this format allows you to join Dr. Koepp at a price that's accessible. The modules labelled 1 through 15 are pre-recorded video trainings. PLUS, you'll have access to 3 LIVE Community sessions where you can join Dr. Koepp and your classmates LIVE to ask questions and go deeper into the work. See schedule for video availability schedule and LIVE Community session dates.
Following purchase, you'll receive an email from "Dr. Regina Koepp- Center for Mental Health & Aging" with your receipt and another email with links to your courses (don't forget to check your spam folder).

This 18-hour course will be released over a 5-week period. On each Monday at 9am EST, you'll receive several recorded trainings. This course will not be offered live.
Great news — once you enroll, you'll have lifetime access to all course materials, so you can learn at your own pace!
The live Community Gatherings will happen via Zoom and will occur on the following Wednesdays. Live attendance is NOT required to earn CE credits, but is strongly encouraged to gain full benefits from this program.
Zoom link will be emailed to you following course purchase.

Certificates of completion will be emailed immediately following submission of electronic survey and also available for download in the course platform. It's that simple!
Please note: CE credits are only available following successful completion of the ENTIRE program; they are not available following each module.
All registrants will receive a displayable certificate of completion and a digital badge upon completion of course and post-test. Please note that the displayable certificate of completion indicates that you have finished the training; it does not verify your level of expertise, competency, or proficiency in the subject matter.
No. A certificate is a document issued upon the completion of a training program. It signifies that you have trained on specific skills, have knowledge in a particular subject, or as in this case, have trained with a particular individual. Certification on the other hand is a formal recognition of your expertise and competence. Certification often requires you to meet specific standards, pass rigorous exams, and many even include additional practice, consultation, supervision, and evaluations. While you will need to pass an exam, this course does not include many of these elements, nor a personal assessment of your abilities by Dr. Regina Koepp — making this a "certificate" program.
So while there are a lot of "certifications" out there — including some that are not endorsed by an actual certifying body — you need to be the judge of what adds value to your work and your ability to help your clients. This certificate does distinguish you as one of the small number of mental health and aging professionals who've trained extensively with Dr. Regina Koepp…and it's an acknowledgment that can set you apart in the eyes of clients and peers.
This 18-hour CERTIFICATE program was reviewed by licensed mental health professionals and subject matter experts who, following in-depth review of this program, agreed that this program possesses the quality, depth, and breadth of training to merit certification in the stated topic.
