Brain Injury Recovery Program

Have you experienced a concussion, stroke, or another form of traumatic brain injury (TBI)? If so, you may be facing challenges in your cognitive abilities, including attention, memory, speech, and problem-solving. These difficulties can significantly affect your ability to work, communicate, maintain relationships, or even carry out daily tasks that were once routine. It's common for those with brain injuries to require assistance with everyday activities, and the impact on your mental health can be profound.

Psychological struggles such as anxiety, frustration, and a decrease in self-confidence are common after brain injuries. You might find yourself feeling isolated, fatigued more easily, or even experiencing depressive thoughts due to the changes in your cognitive abilities. If the brain injury was caused by trauma, you may also be dealing with emotional wounds that need healing. This is where our Brain Injury Recovery Program comes in.

How We Support Your Recovery

At Wholesome Psychology, we provide compassionate care designed to help you regain cognitive and functional abilities, while also supporting your emotional and psychological well-being. Our holistic approach includes both cognitive rehabilitation and therapy to address the psychological impact of brain injury. We aim to empower you to rebuild your cognitive skills and enhance your independence, with a focus on personalized strategies tailored to your unique needs.

Recovery can be a gradual process, and many factors, such as the severity of the injury, age, pre-existing conditions, and access to care, can influence the extent and timeline of improvement. However, scientific research shows that the brain has an incredible ability to reorganize itself after injury. With appropriate intervention, many individuals can experience recovery, especially those with mild TBI.

What You Can Expect from the Program

Our Brain Injury Recovery Program is designed to provide a comprehensive and supportive path to healing. It includes:

  • A full Baseline Assessment with one of our experienced therapists to understand your unique needs
  • Cognitive-perceptual training sessions to enhance areas of cognitive function impacted by the injury
  • Individualized counseling to support you emotionally and psychologically, including help with stress management, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, and more
  • Multi-dimensional testing and tailored recommendations to track progress and address specific concerns
  • Ongoing support and maintenance to ensure lasting improvements

Note: The number of sessions may vary depending on your individual needs.

Benefits of the Program

Our program is designed with the goal of reducing the symptoms associated with traumatic brain injuries while improving cognitive functions such as focus, memory, processing speed, and coordination. We focus on facilitating neuroplasticity, the brain's remarkable ability to create new neural pathways to compensate for areas that have been impaired.

Our ultimate aim is to see noticeable improvements in your neurological function from the very first baseline assessment. With the right combination of therapies and cognitive support, you can regain a greater degree of independence and confidence.

Key Features of the Brain Injury Recovery Program

  • Cognitive-perceptual assessment: We begin by identifying the specific areas of cognitive function impacted by your brain injury.
  • Cognitive-perceptual training: Our therapy is designed to target and improve the areas of cognition that were affected by the injury.
  • Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS): This non-invasive therapy uses magnetic fields to stimulate underactive brain cells, helping improve efficiency in brain function. rTMS has been shown to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and chronic pain, making it an effective option for those with brain injury-related challenges.

Collaborative Care for Holistic Healing

We understand that brain injury recovery is complex and may require a multidisciplinary approach. That's why we collaborate with other specialists such as physicians, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists to provide you with the best care possible. Together, we aim to create a well-rounded, individualized plan that supports your cognitive, emotional, and physical recovery.
