TBI Cognitive Therapy
What is it?
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can affect how your brain processes and stores information. This often results in memory challenges, slower cognitive speed, and more complex communication needs.
How does therapy help?
Cognitive therapy focuses on retraining the brain and developing compensatory strategies. We work together to improve attention, memory recall, and your ability to navigate complex daily tasks.
What happens in therapy?
We start with a thorough assessment of your cognitive strengths and areas for growth. Each session is tailored to your real-life goals, such as independence in your home or community.
Is it covered by my insurance?
Speak to us about insurances we accept. If your insurance does not cover it, we can provide you with a good faith estimate of the cost of therapy and help you with reclaiming costs from out of network payers, if eligible.
Mild Cognitive Impairment
What is it?
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) involves subtle but noticeable changes in memory or thinking. These changes are greater than what is typical for aging but don't yet interfere with independence.
How does therapy help?
Therapy for MCI is proactive. We equip you with specific cognitive tools and organizational systems aimed at preserving your independent lifestyle for as long as possible.
What happens in therapy?
We practice functional exercises like systematic calendar use and focus techniques. We also provide education for families on how to support your needs at home effectively.
Is it covered by my insurance?
