Traumatic Brain Injury

A split-second experience can impact a lifetime!

Injury – Emotional and Physical

So many confusing terms – closed head injury, TBI, post-concussion syndrome – and so many doctors, nurses, case managers, school counselors, rehabilitation professionals, etc., etc., etc. It feels like all you do is go from one doctor’s appointment to the next – day after day.

All you want is for life to get back to normal, yet your memory comes and goes, headaches prevail, and you just don’t feel quite like you used to.

What you’re feeling is very common. And you have a right to be upset about it.

Injury – Inside and Out

Automobile accidents, slip and falls, sports concussions, and physical assault are the leading causes of traumatic brain injury.

Of course these events take a toll on your body, but they affect you in other ways as well.

And while physical recovery can take a very long time, psychological and emotional healing are possible right now.

You are more than your injuries.

My work as a drama therapist can have a profoundly positive impact.

I’ll work with you to create the right treatment plan so that you can adapt to your injury in a safe environment.

No doubt, underneath the pain lies the tremendous discomfort of not knowing what the future holds – and your emotions may feel impossible to control. I’ll help you develop coping skills to triggers so you can focus your attention on the positive aspects of your life – a life you love.

Adjusting to these changes is hard. It’s enough to make anyone want to give up – but where there’s fear, there’s hope.  By the end of your treatment plan, you’ll have integrated your trauma and may even see how some aspects of it have benefited you!  Imagine that!

In a sea of professionals, why am I the right therapist for you?

I will help you feel empowered so you’re really ready to heal from within.

Together, we’ll release your rage and other negative emotions, so your body has the energy it needs to heal the physical injuries.

We’ll also work on decision-making – and other challenges unique to your condition.

I’ll help you stand up for yourself, maybe for the first time in your life.  Whatever the case may be for you, we’ll work through it together.

My goal for you is wholeness.

It may take some time, but I will help you improve your outlook, and reduce unwanted thoughts and behaviors that are inhibiting your recovery and growth.

When you look in the mirror, I want you to love yourself again…. and you will!

You are so much more than your injury – call me today at (248) 880-6600 to break through to healing.

Let’s get you back to doing the things – and being the person – you love!
