The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in healing - I find myself in strong connection with those navigating attachment trauma and the ways it can impact identity exploration, relational dynamics, self-efficacy, and the ability to cope with the challenges of daily life. This commonly manifests in mood disorders like depression and anxiety, personality disorders, neurodivergence, and post-traumatic stress. My intention is to support self-awareness, the development of more helpful coping strategies and the creation of a life that aligns with your personal values.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Therapists
How does traumatic brain injury affect mental health and behavior?
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can affect your mood, behavior, thinking, and relationships. After a brain injury, you may experience depression, anxiety, irritability, anger, impulsivity, or difficulty managing your emotions. Problems with memory, attention, or concentration can also make it harder to work, keep up with daily responsibilities, or maintain relationships. A TBI can also be difficult to adjust to, especially if it changes what you are able to do physically or mentally. You may feel frustrated, discouraged, or a sense of loss related to your life before the injury. Some people also develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), particularly if the brain injury happened during a traumatic event, such as a car accident, fall, assault, or military combat. Therapy can help you cope with these changes and manage symptoms such as depression, anxiety, anger, or PTSD.
When should someone seek treatment for a traumatic brain injury?
If you think you may have a TBI, it is important to get medical care, particularly if symptoms are new or getting worse. Signs such as a worsening headache, repeated vomiting, seizures, loss of consciousness, increasing confusion, weakness or numbness, or slurred speech require immediate medical attention. A healthcare provider may use a neurological exam and imaging (such as a CT scan or MRI) to evaluate the injury and determine next steps. You may also want to seek mental health treatment if emotional or behavioral symptoms continue after the injury or begin to interfere with daily life. Seeking support early can help you understand what you’re experiencing, develop coping strategies, and address symptoms before they become more difficult to manage. A therapist can also work alongside other professionals involved in your recovery and help you identify additional resources if needed.
How can therapy help people who have suffered concussions and TBI?
Therapy after a concussion or TBI can help you cope with changes in your health, relationships, work, and daily life. You may work with a therapist to address mental health concerns that arise after the injury, such as depression, anxiety, or frustration related to ongoing symptoms. Therapy can also help you develop strategies for managing emotions and coping with changes in memory, attention, or communication. If the injury has affected your relationships, couples or family therapy may help you and the people close to you communicate more effectively and adjust to new roles or responsibilities.
What therapeutic approaches are most effective for traumatic brain injury?
The most appropriate type of therapy depends on your symptoms, the severity of the injury, and where you are in recovery. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is commonly used to help with depression, anxiety, anger, and difficulty adjusting to life after a brain injury. A therapist may adapt CBT by using shorter sessions, repetition, written reminders, or other strategies to account for problems with memory, attention, fatigue, or information processing. Some people may also benefit from supportive therapy or approaches such as art or music therapy. Importantly, treatment for TBI often involves more than one type of therapy. Depending on your needs, your care team may include physical therapists for movement and balance, occupational therapists for everyday activities, speech-language pathologists for communication and cognitive skills, and neuropsychologists for evaluating and treating changes in thinking and behavior. The specific combination of treatments will depend on how your injury is affecting you and your goals for recovery.
How can I find a therapist who can help with traumatic brain injury?
The Psychology Today Directory can help you find therapists who have experience working with traumatic brain injuries. Use the Specialties filter and select “Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI),” or search for concerns related to your injury, such as anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, sleep difficulties, or relationship problems. You can also use filters for age, location, insurance, and type of therapy to narrow your search. When considering a therapist, ask about their experience working with people who have had concussions or other brain injuries and the types of concerns they typically treat. Because TBI can affect memory, attention, communication, and energy levels, it may also be helpful to ask whether they adapt therapy for these challenges. If you are receiving care from other providers, such as a neurologist, you can also ask whether the therapist is comfortable coordinating with the rest of your care team.
