About Me.
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.
