Dr. Matt is a licensed psychologist and board certified clinical neuropsychologist. For well over a decade, he's been helping evaluate, diagnose, and treat cognitive problems from a variety of conditions, including concussion/traumatic brain injury, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, Lewy Body disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and various other acute and chronic illnesses.
While there is always more that can be done for all of these conditions, he developed a particular passion for the situation of cancer survivors who had healed from the acute disease, but were still struggling with cognitive symptoms.
Great progress has been made over the last 20 years with research helping to understand these cognitive problems and how to help them. Yet this information doesn't seem to be making it into the conversations between many healthcare providers and the people experiencing these struggles.
Neuropsychologists, such as Dr. Matt, are uniquely positioned to help in just these situations. They have in-depth education, training, and experience in understanding the brain, cognition, emotion, and all of the various factors that can affect these three things.
Seeing this gap in communication between research and patient care, seeing the needless suffering of so many cancer survivors, and seeing the power of his expertise in neuropsychology to help, he decided to launch Clear Mind Coaching to help bridge this gap.
