ABOUT HOLLIS

Black Background

Hello

My name is Hollis Lyman

I specialize in neurotrauma (concussions, brain injuries), neurodegeneration (dementia), cognitive changes (post-COVID, illness), self identity, and psychological trauma (PTSD). My background in physical health, biomedical sciences, performance psychology, and trauma psychology promotes my work as a therapist who will ask about and support your: nutrition, hydration, movement, financial health, sense of self, purpose in life, and your interpretation of the world, because they are all linked.

​

By supporting the health of our body and our brain we can access the full abilities and power of our mind.

​

You are unlimited.
