Recovering from a brain injury, stroke, or another neurological condition can touch every part of life. Memory, attention, emotions, even your sense of identity may feel different, and anxiety, trauma, or chronic pain often follow close behind. I am Dr. Bonnie Cardell, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Supervisor with a Ph.D. in Applied Psychophysiology and a Master's in Counseling Psychology. Through secure telehealth sessions, I offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy for adults, grounded in the belief that the brain and nervous system can heal with the right support.
I integrate CBT, mindfulness-based interventions, biofeedback informed self-regulation, breathing retraining, expressive arts, and Logotherapy, a meaning centered approach. These tools help you strengthen emotional regulation, build cognitive flexibility, and reconnect with purpose in daily life.
Reaching out takes courage, and it is a meaningful first step. My practice is culturally responsive and LGBTQIA+ affirming, and every client is welcomed with dignity, respect, and authenticity. Connect with me today, and together we will create a personalized path toward healing, resilience, and meaningful change.
