About Rainwater Consulting

Hello, my name is Shoshawna Rainwater. I have devoted my career as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker to supporting the well-being of elders and people living with serious illness. During my last two decades of practice, there has been one particular group of people who have stood out with regards to depth of struggle and lack of available support and expertise. That group is people living with dementia and those who care about them.

I decided to create my private practice, Rainwater Consulting, because I believe whether you are a person living with dementia or someone caring for a loved one with the condition, you deserve support on this journey. You deserve expert guidance and practical tools to help you cope with the present stressors and what’s coming next. You deserve to know that it is normal to feel depleted by this journey, and to be offered professional guidance about how to feel balanced – even hopeful – again. We can do this together.

My Approach Providing Fundamental Compassion

I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Portland State University in 2003 and have worked in the field of palliative care social work for a large health organization since 2001. The creation of Rainwater Consulting allows me to focus solely and more deeply on the needs of families and people living with dementia. My work includes implementing a strengths-based, mindfulness approach that takes into consideration the neurobiological changes occurring in your loved one. I consider dementia to be my “professional practice expertise” and where I have devoted the majority of my professional learning/training throughout my career.

If you are struggling on your journey of supporting a loved one with dementia:

I invite you to reach out to me for professional consultation and guidance. Together, we will work to enhance your understanding of the condition, identify coping strategies, and build a care team for you and your loved one.
