Seeking help from a therapist can make some people feel uncomfortable. Correcting the problems in your life is the most courageous move you can make. Your journey toward self-enrichment and understanding can begin as soon as you are ready to move into a new area where anything is possible. By scheduling a counseling session with me, you are creating a chance for positive change in your life. Whether your change is due to interrupting a negative cycle, gleaning a new and objective viewpoint, or by learning new tools to change your life.

The only thing constant in life is change..., but change can be scary and contribute to anxiety. Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, loss of employment, divorce, or a new dynamic in your family, counseling can help. I offer a non-judgmental approach to counseling with an emphasis on helpful vs. unhelpful thinking. I am excited to announce that I am now providing Neurofeedback for a wide variety of disorders. Neurofeedback is a way of training the brain to perform optimally. Neurofeedback is not counseling. A QEEG brain map will show the areas of the brain that could benefit from training.

So, here you are....truly trying to figure out life. You have set goals, achieved them, and you're living in those successes right now. The thing is, as you look around, you don't see other members of your original community. Oh, this is not the first time you've been one of the few or even one of one, but this is a new level. This feels different. You want to genuinely connect and process how to manage this new lifestyle with its increased expectations. I hear you wondering about those left behind.

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.
