For Dementia Care Professionals, Therapists, and Referral Partners

Dementia Therapy and Caregiver Mental Health Referral Resource

​

Emerald Green Therapy is a boutique, private-pay psychotherapy practice specializing in dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, caregiver mental health, and family systems support. Services are designed for individuals and families impacted by neurodegenerative illness and the psychological, relational, and caregiving challenges that accompany cognitive impairment.

​

This page is intended as a referral and connection resource for dementia care professionals, therapists, and multidisciplinary care teams seeking specialized behavioral health support for patients and families. I welcome referrals, professional consultation, and opportunities to connect with colleagues across disciplines and states. I’m always glad to build relationships within the dementia care community and collaborate to support individuals and families impacted by cognitive impairment! I’m also happy to connect with therapists and dementia care professionals across states for consultation, resource sharing, and collaborative support.
