With so much uncertainty in the world, we can become stuck in worry. While worry can occupy our thoughts, it rarely helps us to feel better or have a sense of control. Instead, try taking a few deep breaths or go for a walk. #brainrreset #mindfulness
With so much uncertainty in the world today, its normal to feel a bit nervous or uncertain. Try focusing on the here and now by taking a few deep breaths to recenter. Repeat as needed.

Do you find yourself struggling with COVID fatigue?
If so, you are not alone. The global pandemic has been with us for over 8 months now. That's over 8 months of:
Mask wearing
Increased hand washing
Social distancing
Remote learning
Remote working
Unemployment
Reduced income
Changing routines
Cancelled vacations
....and overall uncertainty.
It's no wonder we are all feeling a bit tired and overwhelmed. Having COVID fatigue is a normal reaction to an abnormal situation.
Be kind to yourself and be kind to others.

Have a craving for Dark Chocolate? Well you're in luck, not only is a delicious treat but it also can help improve brain function! Dark Chocolate contains cocoa, also known as cacao. Cacao contains flavonoids, a type of antioxidant. Antioxidants are especially important for brain health, as the brain is highly susceptible to oxidative stress, which contributes to age-related cognitive decline and brain diseases. ๐ซ

Research is finding the people who had COVID-19 and have gone through the initial recovery period may continue to have symptoms. These "long haulers" can have problems such as "brain fog", anxiety, depression, headaches, insomnia, PTSD, and more.
We offer several services, which can be of help:
Neurofeedback: This brain wave training can help with mood as well as "brain fog" symptoms.
Neuropsychological Evaluations: These evaluations can objectively assess your memory, attention, processing speed, and other cognitive domains. This information is useful for treatment recommendations.
Counseling: Psychotherapy is helpful to learn coping skills and reprocess any traumatic memories. (Please note we have very limited counseling appointments available).
