Hi, I’m Theresa Dewey. I am passionate about dementia care and empowering families and caregivers with education and direction. I’ve spent 18 years working in dementia care and disability care, including roles at the Alzheimer’s Association, a memory clinic supporting two behavior neurologists, skilled nursing, and intermediate care for adults with developmental disabilities. I’m also a board-certified art therapist (ATR-BC), a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC), a part-time faculty instructor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, a former “house mother” of a group home, a former caregiver, a daughter, wife, and mom. All of these parts of my life color my work and fuel my passion further. If you found my website, chances are life has thrown you for a loop. I’d love to talk with you about what you’re looking for and how I could help you on your way. https://www.deweydementiaconsulting.com/work-with-me daily 0.75 2021-05-07 https://www.deweydementiaconsulting.com/family-consultation daily 0.75 2021-06-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605109d744d46116c0b542bd/1620414648202-98QIJGEL6EREC4BMPI1Y/ekaterina-shakharova-L4nwL3195U0-unsplash.jpg Family Consultation - get guidance with a plan. get back to what matters.
