Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Therapists in Palo Pinto County, TX

I am a board-certified Neuropsychologist through the American Board of Professional Psychology specializing in Psychological and Neuropsychological testing. I was the Senior Clinical Neuropsychologist on active duty in Department of Defense until retirement after 26 years total military service. As a retired U. S. Army Major, I administer Psychological testing for PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury. I administer testing for Dementia, Alzheimer’s, ADHD/ADD, Autism, Depression, Anxiety and other Psychological and Neuropsychological Disorders.

Life hitting you harder than you can bounce back? Life as a first responder taking a toll? I'd like to help. My goal and privilege as a therapist is to assist others in improving all aspects of their lives. I believe in the innate capacity of the human spirit to overcome adversity and experience healing. I employ a variety of approaches depending on your needs, and tailor a treatment plan to assist you on this journey. While trained and teaching a variety of interventions and therapies, I specialize in trauma therapy (specifically EMDR Therapy), relationship counseling, and short-term solution-focused work.

I provide neuropsychological testing to children, adolescents and young adults to give an overview of cognitive abilities to determine individual strengths and weaknesses. These abilities include: Intellectual Functioning (IQ); Academic Achievement; Learning & Memory; Attention & Executive Functioning; Language & Phonological Processing; Visual-Spatial Skills & Visual-Motor Integration; Fine Motor Coordination; Adaptive Functioning; Emotional & Behavioral Functioning; Social Skills & Pragmatic (Social) Language. Using these results, I can help coordinate care with your child's other medical providers, suggest school recommendations (including IEP/504 Plans), and provide referrals to specialists and professionals that can help your child maximize his or her functioning and potential.

My main focus is trauma and PTSD. My secondary focus is on Narcissistic Abuse Syndrome and Parental Alienation. I also do a lot of work with anxiety (social and generalized), addictions, depression, abuse (of all kinds). These are often tied to my two main focuses. I have a lot of experience working with military personnel and veterans.

Are you looking for a psychological/neuropsychological evaluation and/or a medication free treatment for attention, sleep, migraine, anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD, headache, or traumatic brain injury problems? Are you a struggling learner seeking ways to improve performance at school, sports or work? Do you have a history of autism spectrum, ADD/ADHD, fetal alcohol syndrome, language and communication problems, Down’s Syndrome, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, concussion, stroke, memory difficulties, chronic illness, motor and balance coordination, developmental delay, Parkinson’s, or multiple sclerosis?

Whether you have experienced something that has turned your life upside down or if you merely want help kick starting the next stage in your life, therapy can help. Individuals recovering from difficulties related to a traumatic brain injury, stroke, depression, anxiety, and individuals having difficulty managing life decisions (relationships, kids, employment) often have one thing in common: they're searching for strength to carry on with the next step in their lives. Some don't know what the next step is, and others know exactly what needs to be done; however, something is in the way. Therapy can help you FIND YOUR WAY.

If you are having trouble dealing with relationship issues, or need a little help defining your direction in life, or balancing the seemingly overwhelming and endless daily stressors that lead to depression and anxiety, then I am the right person for you.

I know that you or a family member having TBI, spinal cord injury, other bodily injuries, and or chronic illness may be experiencing drastic life changes which may have caused you to feel depression, anxiety, isolation etc. I offer individual & group therapy/support groups to provide coping skills & emotional support. Committed relationships can be a very exciting time but can also be a very nerve wrecking time because its one of the biggest decisions of your life if you decide to marry this person. I want to be an objective therapist that can help guide you through this process with Christian pre enagagement counseling.

As a graduate of UTSW and Lead Counselor at a Neuro Transitional Center in Dallas, I specialize in adjustment to disability and recovery from Traumatic Brain Injury, Post-Concussive Disorder, Acquired Brain Injury, Stroke and Spinal Cord Injury. Not only adjustment for the survivor but for their families and caregivers. I am passionate about helping individuals work toward having as much control over their lives as possible while providing the tools to do so. I will help them accomplish this through the use of methods that work best for them since therapy is not a “one-size-fits-all” process.

Our highly-trained and passionate staff consists of licensed psychologists, Dr. Phillip E. Morris, and Dr. Kristy Money, and Licensed Professional Counselor Jennifer Deliganis, LPC-S.

As a counselor specializing in anxiety, depression, OCD, behavioral issues, ADHD, insomnia, TBI, and memory challenges, I'm here to empathetically listen and support you on your journey. I value clients who are motivated to engage in a collaboration, aiming to cultivate self-regulation and coping skills that can enhance their daily lives. I seek clients who are posed for positive transformation but may lack the necessary tools. I am drawn to those who share an eagerness to enhance both cognitive functioning and emotional regulation, driven by a desire to be a better person, spouse, parent, sibling or supportive person to others.

I work with a diverse array of clients, including active and retired military, police, and other first responders, as well as victim/survivors of trauma, chronic illness, substance use, and the LGBTQ+ population. I have skills for the variety of concerns that my populations encounter, including, complex PTSD, trauma, severe anxiety, adjustment, re-integration, communication, TBI/ABIs, phobias, substance use, and mood dysregulation. Most importantly, I work with clients that come how they are, how they can, and with everything they have.

My ideal clients are young adults and teens struggling with confidence and mental health issues, as well as military veterans readjusting to civilian life and young kids in play therapy. They seek a safe space, guidance, and coping skills to overcome their challenges. Their goals include building self-esteem, achieving mental well-being, adapting to civilian life, finding purpose, and improving relationships. They desire to enhance their quality of life, overcome PTSD, express emotions, develop social skills, and foster positive connections.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Stressed out with no end in sight? We see you. We see you struggling to get out of bed. We see you wondering what the point of it all is. We see the depth of your pain. How? Because WE are human too. And because we work WITH humans every day. Every day, we see the pain, the struggle, the difficulty. You are so not alone in this.

The late baseball philosopher Yogi Berra used to say something like "if you don't know where you are going, you'll probably wind up someplace else". If you want to clarify your objective in life, or if you want to get back on the path to achieving that objective, it would be my honor to be your partner along that journey. I specialize in clients who have experienced trauma, depression, symptoms of post-traumatic stress, veterans who are reintegrating into civilian life, and people who are in the midst of a life or career change.

I strive to provide a warm, supportive environment for individuals and families to work through the challenges of everyday life. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify specific barriers that prevent you from thriving and then build the personal skills needed to live a more fulfilling life.
