If you’ve been struggling with cognitive changes - whether due to stress, injury, or other life factors - you may feel like you’ve lost a part of yourself. When your cognitive functioning impacts your confidence and what you believe you’re capable of, it can be frustrating and disheartening. I work best with individuals who are motivated to better understand their cognitive strengths and challenges, being ready to engage in a process designed to optimize their functioning. Together, we work toward building cognitive resilience, confidence, and a sense of optimism about your future abilities.

Dr. Sacks-Zimmerman uses cognitive behavioral therapy and cognitive remediation to treat a variety of patients who suffer from cognitive and emotional difficulties at Acheron Psychiatry. She focuses on utilizing strengths and optimizing functioning even in the context of neurological illness. Patients find hope, clarity and life meaning in this approach.

With a supportive and personalized approach, we can work together to strengthen your cognitive skills, regain control, and build confidence in your abilities. If you're ready to explore new strategies and reclaim your mental clarity, I invite you to take the next step toward healing with Amanda at Acheron Psychiatry.
