A traumatic brain injury (TBI) differs significantly from injuries such as broken bones or torn ligaments, which exhibit a finite healing process over time. Instead, TBI presents as a chronic neurological condition characterized by its potential for long-term persistence. The effects of brain injury are often unseen by others, yet they profoundly affect the lives of those who have suffered the injury, and their loved ones.
How we can help
Our psychologists help people navigate the complexities of concussion & brain injury, whether it’s acquired from a motor vehicle injury, a workplace injury, stroke or other conditions.
After a brain injury, life will be permanently altered. Adapting to the resulting challenges and changes becomes essential. This includes alterations to your independence, abilities, work, and relationships with family, friends, and caregivers.
Adjusting to what is often called the “new normal” will take time.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and commitment therapy ( ACT), are found to be effective interventions when treating TBI.
Therapy can help you adapt to the mental and physical problems caused by TBI.
