• Deliver individual, family, and group therapy interventions.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

• Collaborate virtually with neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and case managers to coordinate care.
• Participate in case conferences and contribute neurocognitive perspectives to multidisciplinary treatment planning.
• Offer consultation to providers regarding diagnostic differentials, cognitive profiles, and behavioral management strategies.

• Familiarity with caregiver stress, adjustment to illness, and grief and loss interventions.
• Training or certification in evidence‑based approaches for chronic illness or neurological populations.

Values & Culture

• Relentless focus on patients and caregivers—determinism to provide an exceptional experience for every patient we serve and putting patients first in everything we do.
• Embody the spirit and humanity of those living with neurodegenerative disease—motivated by founders, families, and personal experiences, recognizing the seriousness of patients’ circumstances and meeting that challenge daily with empathy, compassion, kindness, and hope.
• Seek to understand and stay curious—listening to one another, partners, patients, and caregivers; communicating with authenticity and humility and recognizing we always have something to learn.
• Embrace the opportunity—energized by the importance of the mission and biased toward action.
