Dementia Caregiving Doesn’t Have To Be This Difficult
3 Steps to Ease Your Caregiving Journey
My Name is Mary
As an Occupational Therapist with over a decade of experience in dementia care, I founded Your Dementia Therapist in 2021 to address a critical gap in caregiver education. Based in Austin, Texas, I’ve developed a unique, holistic approach to dementia care that focuses on abilities rather than limitations and considers the needs of everyone involved in the care journey.
Through my work, I noticed a pressing need for comprehensive education tailored specifically for dementia caregivers, both professional and family members. Many feel overwhelmed and underprepared after a dementia diagnosis, unsure of how to proceed or adapt to changing circumstances. My mission is to bridge this knowledge gap, empowering caregivers to support their loved ones more effectively while also taking care of themselves.
How am I different?

Our approach focuses on abilities rather than limitations, emphasizing what individuals can still do.
