  • Parkinson’s Disease

  1. COGNITIVE REHABILITATION  (Service offered through Zoom)

 

 You might be wondering, "what is Cognitive Rehabilitation?" We are glad you asked.
 

 Cognitive Rehabilitation is re-training the brain to improve:

·      Compensatory prospective memory (i.e., “remembering to do things in the future such as taking 

       medication or remembering an appointment”).

·      Attention

·      Learning

·      Executive functioning strategies to improve cognition and activities of daily living (organizing,       

       getting dressed, remembering routines, etc).

​

 2. INDIVIDUAL THERAPY SUPPORT FOR THOSE WITH COGNITIVE CONDITIONS (Service offered through Zoom)

 

 How does individual therapy help?

 

  • Coping with sometimes unexpected and distressing symptoms

  • Understanding the projected course of their disease and the expected/unexpected changes

  • Coping with the psychological and emotional symptoms that accompany these disorders including:

o    Anxiety & Depression

o   Impulsivity

o   Behavioral symptoms

o   Hallucinations

​

 3. CAREGIVER SUPPORT (Service offered through Zoom)

 

Dr. Holiday supports CAREGIVERS.

  • As cognitive changes progress, they often affect loved ones and family members.

  • When a person is diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disorder or experiencing cognitive changes, traditionally held roles such as “the provider” may shift from one partner to another or from parents to their children.

​

 4. SPECIALIZED COUPLES COMMUNICATION FOR CLIENTS WHO HAVE COGNITIVE CONDITIONS (Service offered through Zoom)

 

Dr. Holiday helps with communication and reconnection.

  •  Couples may find that the ways they valued connecting with their partner are no longer possible.

  •  Dr. Holiday helps couples and caregivers process the emotions that come with these cognitive changes and continue to foster meaningful relationships.
