Balance: Psychology and Brain Health

Our team of psychologists specialize in the assessment, prevention, and treatment of factors that can negatively affect brain health. This includes providing individualized counselling support for adults who have sustained a brain injury or other neurological condition, as well as support for their partners in care. We can work collaboratively with other members of your healthcare team and assist with disability case management. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, sleep, pain, cognitive abilities, or are having difficulty returning to work and other roles of productivity, we encourage you to connect with us to discuss how we can help.
