Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is an injury caused by a blow to the head that causes loss of consciousness, dizziness or post traumatic amnesia. Following the initial 3-month recovery period it may be helpful to have a neuropsychological assessment to track cognitive changes. Psychotherapy can also be helpful for those with persistent issues also referred to as post-concussion syndrome (PCS). Common difficulties often include sensory overstimulation, fatigue, and problems containing emotions. In therapy you can learn skills to adjust to your challenges and increase your quality of life. Specialists who understand TBI can validate your experience, help you learn how to adapt to your new life and grieve the changes that have come from your injury.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can show up in a variety of different ways, and can often be accompanied by changes in mood, self-concept, and social functioning even years after the injury occurs. I take a strengths-based feminist approach to understanding how disability and neurodivergence as a result of TBI might be showing up in your life. I believe that co-creating clear, practical skills, and integration of identity changes can be deeply healing in the therapy space.
