Injury or disease: long Covid
-
Ageing-related changes or illnesses: dementia, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, depression, major surgery

I provide therapy and support to adults in Vancouver, surrounding areas, and online, helping you manage cognitive changes, regain confidence in your thinking, and improve daily functioning.

-
Feeling anxious, stressed, or depressed after a brain injury
-
Irritability, sudden mood swings, or frustration with daily tasks

Difficulty managing appointments, navigating unfamiliar environments, or completing everyday activities

“I contacted Heike (Mind your Brain) some time ago because of a concussion. Although I had a physiotherapist and other services, I felt consistently fatigued and had a difficult time keeping up with my responsibilities. This also impacted my relationship. In about 6 sessions, Heike helped me understand why I felt fatigued, and how to address it. She taught me with patience how to implement this new knowledge on how to approach tasks, what strategies to use, and how to communicate my needs. This has made a huge difference in my ability to accomplish tasks successfully that I thought I might not be able to do anymore. Heike gave me back my confidence!”

My experience with her has been excellent. With patience, she explained to me how my thinking and emotions impacted my communication with my business partner as well as with my spouse, and how I could change the way I could communicate with them. And as I learned how to make the suggested changes things kind of magically changed in my communication with the people around me and, in turn, my relationship with my business partner and well as with my wife got better. And I am really grateful to Heike that she had taken the time to teach me all the necessary things to improve my business and personal relationships. I can wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone who is in need of counselling services. Thank you!

“Many thanks for your caring and compassionate ways in helping me cope with my concussion. I so appreciate the encouragement you have provided. Your classes are great. You always walk around with a smile, and it’s obvious that it’s real; you are very kind, encouraging, and gifted. Don’t stop what you are doing!”

Thank you for everything, Heike. As mentioned in the session yesterday, you have been a huge part of my recovery and I will be forever grateful. I will definitely keep you in mind for any future needs should they arise.
