About Jonathan Gerson

I am a Geriatric Counselor and I have pioneered a talk therapy approach to Dementia Treatment I call the DreamRem Method. It is a method that focuses on conducting a structured life review in order to chronical and celebrate the life of the Dementia patient. Self-esteem often suffers in those that develop Dementia and the Dream Rem Method helps to bolster the self -esteem to the persons suffering with Dementia. The DreamRem Methiod is most effective for those in the beginning to middle stages of Dementia. I work as well with seniors who are dealing with adjustment issues related to the changes around retirement. I deal with the grief from a loss of a spouse or family member. I have worked with a senior population since 1990.
