Cognitive Therapy
Have you experienced increased difficulties with your memory or problem-solving skills that are impacting your daily life? Cognitive therapy may help improve these abilities through the rehabilitation of skills and the implementation of compensatory strategies.
We address 4 domains of cognition that can be impacted by various causes such as stroke, brain injury, dementia, or Parkinson’s disease. Here are some common symptoms:
Memory
Decline with short or long-term memory
Decline with “working memory” that affects ability to follow directions or completing a task
Decreased abilities with new learning
Decreased retrieval from memory
Problems with orientation to date/time
Attention
Difficulty with sustained attention when completing one task
Decreased processing speed
Difficulty shifting attention between tasks
Decreased attention span
Becoming more easily distractible
Executive Functions
Decreased decision making
Difficulty initiating, organizing, or planning tasks
Deficits with problem solving and reasoning skills
Poor inhibition
Social Cognition
Poor insight to deficits
Decreased ability to regulate emotions
Poor social perception
Decreased understanding of non-verbal cues in conversation

Empowering those with dementia to maintain their independence by developing/training compensatory strategies.
