Welcome to Brain Centric Neuropsychology
Welcome to Brain Centric Neuropsychology (BCNP): Your Partner in Brain Health and Mental Well-Being
Hello, and welcome to our very first blog post! I’m Dr. Shannel Elhelou, a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in neuropsychology, and I’m honored to introduce you to our practice. Here, we’re dedicated to supporting adults and older adults as they navigate cognitive health challenges, and we’re here to provide compassionate, evidence-based care every step of the way. Whether you’re experiencing cognitive changes yourself or supporting a loved one, we’re here to offer clarity, guidance, and empowerment.
Why Brain Health Matters
Neuropsychology is the study of the brain behavior relationship and brain health is integral to every part of life. It affects how we think, feel, interact, and live out our daily routines. While everyone experiences natural changes in cognitive function as they age, some face challenges due to conditions such as dementia, traumatic brain injury, or stroke. By taking proactive steps to understand and support brain health, we can work to improve quality of life and enhance emotional resilience.
Through a combination of neuropsychological evaluations, therapy, and consultation services, our practice aims to provide a roadmap for maintaining cognitive and emotional well-being. Our work is centered on each individual’s unique needs and goals, helping you or your loved ones live with clarity and confidence.
Our Services
We offer a comprehensive suite of services designed to address the diverse needs of adults and older adults:
- Neuropsychological Evaluations: These assessments provide a detailed understanding of cognitive strengths and weaknesses. We focus on identifying specific challenges related to conditions like dementia, stroke, and other neurological conditions. These evaluations can identify cognitive strengths and weaknesses and inform tailored intervention plans that support day-to-day functioning and long-term planning.
- Consultation: Caring for a loved one can be overwhelming. Our consultation services are designed to provide families with a clear path forward, from understanding diagnosis to exploring care options. We work together to build a roadmap that suits your unique situation and goals.
- Therapy: We offer therapy for individuals facing a variety of concerns, including health issues, anxiety, depression, and age-related challenges. Our sessions focus on promoting emotional resilience, reducing stress, and supporting overall well-being during life’s transitions.
Our Approach to Care
Our philosophy is grounded in compassion and backed by research. We believe that quality care should be accessible and tailored to each person’s unique journey. That’s why we offer services both in-person and via telehealth, along with in-home or bedside assessments for those who may find it challenging to travel. Our holistic approach combines evidence-based interventions with a deep understanding of the emotional and practical aspects of brain health.
We work closely with other healthcare providers and living facilities to ensure coordinated, comprehensive care. Our mission is to help each client feel supported and empowered, creating a foundation for meaningful, fulfilling lives at every stage.
A Resource for Families and Caregivers
Cognitive changes don’t just impact the individual; they affect families, caregivers, and entire support networks. We understand the stress and uncertainty that can accompany caregiving, and we’re here to provide the resources, support, and guidance you need to care for your loved one while also taking care of yourself. We’re passionate about supporting caregivers, and we’re committed to helping you navigate the emotional and practical challenges that come with this journey.
