My Services

Coaching for Team Mate & Family

To use a sports analogy, you cannot win this game without a coach and team mates. I have worked as a team member both personally and professionally. I have seen the team fail, repeat misplays to the point of crisis management. I have seen teams pack up in the middle of the night and run from the out-of-control star player. But more importantly, I have seen teams rally, star players stabilize and the team play a successful game until the final whistle. As Dr. Cate, Dementia Coach I help you play a successful game against a legendary adversary.

Strength-Training

Research has defined three key elements to for sustaining self. These are education, support and spirituality (Bull, 2013). Your team needs to include other caregivers who are dealing with similar issues, working together to refine strategies and offering knowledgeable support. I offer virtual and live support and education that promotes your resilience. At the end of the season, we want to have as few regrets as possible. Join me in building your resilience.

“After decades of dead ends with social workers, hospitals and mental health professionals, Dr. Cate was the one expert who could finally unravel the root cause of our parent’s bizarre behavior. And she did it in only a few sessions. Her kind, patient and calm presence is a welcome relief for any family member struggling to understand the complex world of dementia. I highly recommend her to anyone searching for answers to this debilitating disease that affects so many more people than the one person who has it.”
