The brain is the cornerstone of our existence, affecting every facet of life. Brain injury and neurological conditions bring complex challenges that affect cognition, physical health, sensory perception, and emotions.

​

Counseling helps individuals with brain injury understand strengths, cope with challenges, and obtain skills and strategies to reach personal goals.

​

​Common goals addressed in counseling sessions include:

• Improving emotional health issues such as depression, anxiety, and anger management.

• Compensating and remediation of attention, memory, learning deficiencies, problems solving skills, and other areas of cognitive functioning.

• Learning strategies to restore energy from consistent fatigue.

• Identifying problems, education, and encouragement after post-concussion syndrome.

• Helping family members adjust to changes and learn techniques to influence progress with functional challenges.

• Achieving daily living, vocational, and educational aspirations.

• Reestablishing an acceptable sense of self.

​​

NeuroGrowth Counseling and Wellness uses an eclectic, whole-person approach to therapy including:

• Cognitive Behavior Therapy: Reframing thoughts and behaviors.

• Mindfulness: Cultivating awareness and acceptance in the present.

• Existential Psychotherapy: Exploring issues of meaning, freedom, and isolation.

• Psychoeducation: Tools for cognitive health, fatigue, and relationships.

• Referral Network: Linking to comprehensive care.

​

During our initial sessions, we'll explore your concerns and collaborate to create goals and interventions. Over time therapy often transitions from focus on the principals of awareness and understanding, to acceptance of the present self, and then progression to adjustment and growth. Initial progress can be swift, but longer therapy may be needed for deeper existential issues.
