Counseling and Brain Injury
So, you have a brain injury, and your life has changed. Do you need psychotherapy and counseling?
This is not an uncommon question and is also a great thing to ask yourself. In some cases, you may already know the answer. If you don’t, that’s okay. Change can be scary, and brain injury can result in a life-changing scenario; it is okay to need help to manage these changes.
