Head Injury and Cognitive Difficulties

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI) is more commonly known as concussion and can happen anytime there is a blow to the skull. People who suffer MTBIs and other injuries such as strokes often experience psychological distress, depression, and anxiety.

Psychotherapy can help to:

• Manage anxiety during the healing process - healing often takes time and it can feel like things will never get better
• Process the grief of lost abilities, lost time at work, lost wages, changes in relationships, and/or self-image
• Relieve depression caused by loss of functioning or prolonged recovery periods
• Accept the changes that have happened following the injury
• Build a new "you" from the foundation of the old

I have experience in my personal life with dealing with MTBI and its aftermath. It is possible to heal and to have a wonderful, fulfilling life after injuries that cause cognitive difficulties. I would be honored to assist you on that journey!
