Eilis Quinn
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MFT, R-DMT
I have worked closely with the dementia population as a dance/movement therapist to provide individual and group dance/movement therapy to those with dementia and their caregivers. As a family therapist, I understand the specific challenges of shifting roles and family dynamics that can take place when someone is diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimers. I am also attentive to the specific needs of caregivers for those with Alzheimers or other dementia and can provide a safe space for caregivers processing their role in this journey.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
Though I haven't yet worked with any Alzheimers clients, I have worked with some Parkinson's subjects as well as other neurological problems. Hypnosis has been shown to be effective in helping with Parkinson's tremors as well as other aspects of the condition including depression. I was asked if I could help someone suffering from a condition called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, which is related to ALS or Lou Gehrigs disease. It is a condition with no cure or treatment. When I first met the client, he had been deteriorating for 12 years and was expected to die soon. He was confined to a wheelchair and could no longer speak. He drooled constantly and though wearing a bib, already in the morning was soaked with saliva. He suffered from tremors and got locked in repetitive movements several times a day, had trouble sleeping and couldn't get motivated to do his physical therapy, the only thing his doctors could offer him. In our first session, we were able to eliminate the tremors and repetitive movements, get him to sleep more soundly, and motivate him to do his PT. After the second session he was able to speak for the first time in ears and he got out of his wheelchair and walked. After 5 sessions you couldn't even tel he was sick and now, 6 years later, he's till walking the dog, gardening, hiking his favorite trails.

Tina Nickels
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I have personal experience working with persons with Alzheimer's. I understand that the best way to work with a person with Alzheimer's is to "join their reality". I utilize compassion and a gentle approach, sometimes with a touch of humor.
