Psychological Services
Psychological Services help people to better understand their own unique strengths and challenges following a brain injury, so that they can cope more adaptively and strive to enjoy life with meaning and purpose.
The areas addressed by our Psychologist include:
- Psychological, neuropsychological, and behavioral assessments.
- Psychotherapeutic treatment after brain injury (supporting insight and awareness, managing stress and emotional regulation, collaborative problem-solving, redevelopment of personal identity)
- Neurobehavioural intervention (understanding the connection between brain and behaviour and developing appropriate management strategies)
- Cognitive rehabilitation.
- Staff and family education.
The main focus for Psychology in rehabilitation for persons with a brain injury is to assist participants, families and others who provide support to overcome challenges, make progress towards goals that matter and improve quality of life.
