Therapy for Brain Injury Recovery in Overland Park, Kansas
Services available virtually throughout the state of Kansas
Are you experiencing new mental health symptoms as a result of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), such as anxiety, depression, psychosis, or personality change?
Is your family confused and struggling with how to support you as you heal?
Is it hard to hold onto hope or joy as you adjust to your new life and this new version of yourself?
Do you need support as you learn how to care for yourself, return to work, manage relationships, and more in the wake of a TBI?
You may never get your old life back—
But you can still create a life you love.
It’s more than a medical recovery…
Most of the time, treatment for Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) is strictly medical—but a medical approach leaves out so much of what it takes to recover from a TBI.
Therapy can play a crucial role in your healing.
There is an aspect of grief to recovering from a TBI; in some ways, you may heal and regain capacities you’ve lost, but in other ways, you may be profoundly and permanently changed.
This loss deserves respect, and you need a space to process it.
So much changes after a TBI:
→ Your ability to accomplish the tasks of daily living
→ The ease with which you once navigated social situations and work responsibilities
→ The comfortable rhythms of your close relationships
→ Even how well you feel like you know yourself
Your body might feel different; your own thoughts might no longer feel recognizable; your dreams and goals might feel so distant.
And as if that weren’t enough, recovery from a TBI can feel incredibly lonely. Your recovery can be hard for loved ones to understand; they may want to support you, but not know how to help, or their own emotions may get in the way right when you most need care.
As a therapist with both personal and professional experience with TBI recovery, I’m here to support you as you grieve, heal, and rebuild your life.
Therapy for TBI involves so much more than adjusting to the changes in how you think, experience the world, and manage life.
Therapy can be…
A space to process grief, loss, and all of the emotions that come with recovery.
An opportunity to envision a new but still beautiful future - one with joy & hope.
A place where your loved ones can learn how to walk with you in meaningful ways
I’m here to guide you and your family through the emotional aspects of your recovery, as you discover all that life still has to offer you, even on the other side of a devastating trauma.
Schedule a consultation today and we can determine the best way to move forward.
