traumatic brain injury
"All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming."
- Helen Keller
Every brain injury is unique. Following a traumatic brain injury (TBI) there are many ways someone's life can be impacted including changes in physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and occupational functioning. It can feel overwhelming. People may have difficulty in relationships with friends and family, performing at work, managing finances, or keeping track of medications or medical appointments.
Getting support for patients and families as they manage these challenges is critical. Psychotherapy following TBI can address:
Difficulty Communicating
Changes in Personality
Depression/Anxiety
Impulsivity
Disinhibition
Irritability
Cognitive Changes
Grief and Loss
Sleep Problems
Sexual Dysfunction
It is important to work with a therapist who is knowledgeable about the many cognitive, physical, emotional, and social changes that can occur following TBI. They should be willing to collaborate closely with other providers involved in your care.
