For more than 25 years I supervised a clinical team that specialized in Trauma, PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
Hello, a bit about myself and my style: I established my practice in NYC in 1995, and have been helping clients maximize their potential and resolve patterns that impede that development. Today my practice is styled along the lines of a concierge: independent in home, office or virtual. I look forward to hearing from you soon. All the best, Dr Kevin

I specialize in administering neuropsychological evaluations in order to clarify my client's cognitive strengths & weaknesses, emotional symptoms, and personality. This is a comprehensive evaluation that allows me to provide my clients with specific recommendations and a treatment plan. I work with individuals who are going through a major transition in their life that is typically related to a medical diagnosis (e.g. Alzheimer's disease, Post-Concussive Disorder) but it could also involve other stressors, including health issues and academic or occupational difficulties.

I work with people who experience challenges with motivation, focus, and self-discipline. Often manifesting as problems with attention and executive functioning, these challenges could make a person feel trapped in their life choices, scared about making the wrong decisions, frustrated about not following through, overwhelmed, and mentally exhausted. Without addressing them, these challenges can become chronic, bring about significant emotional distress, and cause disruption to personal and professional growth.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Therapists
When should someone seek treatment for a traumatic brain injury?
People should seek a diagnosis and treatment after a head injury, especially if they were unconscious, and an early diagnosis can lead to a better recovery. Signs of a concussion include headaches, nausea or vomiting, exhaustion, dizziness, vision problems, sensitivity to light and sound, problems with attention and memory, brain fog, unusual irritability or sadness, and unusual sleep patterns.
What’s the most common treatment for a traumatic brain injury?
Treatment for a traumatic brain injury will be different depending on the severity of the problem. For mild injuries, treatment may involve rest and over-the-counter pain or headache medication. For moderate or severe injuries, treatment may involve stabilization, medication, and rehabilitative therapies such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, cognitive therapy, and counseling.
How long does it take to recover from traumatic brain injury?
The recovery time for a traumatic brain injury depends on the individual and the severity and nature of the injury; the length of time spent unconscious is often an indicator of severity. Recovery time for mild injuries may be a week or two while recovery time for more severe injuries may be six months to two years. Research suggests that the vast majority of recovery occurs in the first two years after an injury; recovery after that time frame is less certain.
What if a traumatic brain injury is left untreated?
If a traumatic brain injury is left untreated, it can lead to long-term physical and mental health problems. Physical problems may include dizziness, headaches, vision, healing, or speech loss, and an elevated risk of dementia. Psychological problems may include impairments of memory, judgment, and decision-making, depression, aggression, poor impulse control, and personality changes.
