About

Jonathan Gerson is a geriatric counselor who developed a talk-therapy approach to dementia treatment called the DreamRem Method. This approach centers on a structured life review intended to chronicle and celebrate a person’s life, helping to reinforce a sense of worth and identity for those living with dementia.

The DreamRem Method is designed to strengthen self-esteem in individuals experiencing cognitive decline and is most effective for people in the beginning to middle stages of dementia. In addition to dementia-focused work, Jonathan supports older adults as they adjust to retirement-related changes and addresses grief following the loss of a spouse or other family members.

He brings long-term experience working with a senior population since 1990 and has 12 years of professional therapy experience. Jonathan is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington state, credentialed as WA LMHC 60160336, which indicates his authorization to provide mental health services in Washington.
