BRAIN INJURY & NEUROPSYCHOLOGY
I have a special interest in the area of neuropsychology and work with clients who have a neurological condition or acquired brain injury.
Common Conditions:
- Brain/head injury
- Stroke
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- Parkinson’s disease (PD)
- Epilepsy
Services offered include:
Individual Therapy
Having new diagnosis or injury can be difficult to cope with, particularly if it involves a lot of changes. Psychological therapy can be helpful in understanding and processing these cognitive and emotional changes.
Therapy can be adjusted for any cognitive problems you may have (e.g. memory, attention).
Family/Carer Support
I can work with families to help them understand more about their family members condition, changes they may experience and how they can support them. As well as providing a safe place for them to process the changes that have occurred.
Cognitive Rehabilitation
Cognitive rehabilitation is about identifying and developing specific strategies to help you manage any cognitive changes (e.g. memory difficulties, reduced attention, planning and organising and fatigue).
Return to Work/Employer Information
I have experience with helping individuals return to employment following an acquired brain injury and can also provide information to employers about how they can support the person in their role.
In addition to working with clients individually, Dr. Beedie also accepts referrals from insurance and rehabilitation companies who require a neuropsychological assessment for their clients. She also accepts referrals from legal teams.
What to expect at your appointment
Appointments last 50 minutes. Your first appointment will involve finding out more about you and your current concerns in order to develop an appropriate treatment plan.
