Adult speech therapy
Cognitive communication, brain injury and memory
After a brain injury or other neurological change, the thinking side of communication can be affected, including attention, memory, and staying organized. These changes can make everyday tasks and conversations harder than they used to be. We help you build practical strategies that fit your real life, and we welcome caregivers into the work.
What you might notice
- Trouble holding your attention on a task or conversation
- Forgetting appointments, names, or what you just read
- Difficulty planning or organizing your day
- Losing your train of thought mid-sentence
- Feeling mentally worn out by tasks that used to be easy
How we help
We evaluate how attention, memory, and organization are affecting your daily life, then build strategies and supports that actually help. Terri evaluates and Allee delivers the sessions under her supervision. We practice with the real tasks you care about, from managing a calendar to following a conversation, and we bring caregivers in when that helps.
What a session looks like
Sessions are structured and practical, using tools like planners, reminders, and step-by-step routines that you can carry into everyday life. We tailor everything to your goals, and we coach caregivers so the strategies stick at home.
We adapt our approach to your goals and stage of recovery, whatever your age or how long ago the change happened.

Common questions
What is cognitive communication therapy?+
It focuses on the thinking skills behind communication, like attention, memory, and organization. We build practical strategies so those skills get in the way of daily life less.
Will I get my old memory back?+
Recovery varies from person to person. Even when memory does not return fully, strategies and supports can make a real difference in daily function and independence.
Can family be involved?+
Yes, and it often helps. When caregivers understand the strategies, they can support them at home, which makes the gains more durable.
