 Medical Adjustment Counseling

 Welcome

 

 

You have accessed the home for Neuropsychology Rehabilitation Services - LifeSpan. We are a multidisciplinary practice that offers a wide array of neuropsychological (NRS) and traditional psychological services (LifeSpan). From here you are able to access information regarding our services, as well as information regarding both our staff and office locations.

 

It is our goal to offer comprehensive, quality care from the time of consultation all the way through treatment. With a particular emphasis on health psychology we employ the use of clinical skills adapted to those with medical conditions. Previously, physical health was separated from mental health and treated in different settings. We now realize the importance of emotional, cognitive and behavioral factors contributing to and a consequence of health, illness, or injury. We recognize the uncertainty and confusion that accompanies both traditional health and mental health issues and we hope to provide as much clarity as we can. The best way to get the answers to specific questions that are unique to your particular situation is to directly contact us.

 

Medical Adjustment Counseling


Our practice specializes in Medical Adjustment Counseling (MAC). Unlike traditional Mental Health Counseling, MAC deals specifically with the emotional and thinking changes that often accompany medical conditions and physical trauma. Adjusting to, and understanding these changes can be extremely difficult for a person. Psychological overlay nearly always accompanies physical trauma.


We Can Help.

Patient’s develop a variety of adjustment strategies in order to work effectively with their medical condition. The focus of MAC is on the residuals of the medical condition and unlike traditional psychotherapy not necessarily on past issues.

Our focus is three-tiered point and addresses the concerns our patients have expressed over the years.


• Education - Understanding what you have

• Strategy development - Understanding what to do with what you have

• Application - Understanding where you are going
