Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I have personal experience working with persons with Alzheimer's. I understand that the best way to work with a person with Alzheimer's is to "join their reality". I utilize compassion and a gentle approach, sometimes with a touch of humor.

Though I haven't yet worked with any Alzheimers clients, I have worked with some Parkinson's subjects as well as other neurological problems. Hypnosis has been shown to be effective in helping with Parkinson's tremors as well as other aspects of the condition including depression. I was asked if I could help someone suffering from a condition called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, which is related to ALS or Lou Gehrigs disease. It is a condition with no cure or treatment. When I first met the client, he had been deteriorating for 12 years and was expected to die soon. He was confined to a wheelchair and could no longer speak. He drooled constantly and though wearing a bib, already in the morning was soaked with saliva. He suffered from tremors and got locked in repetitive movements several times a day, had trouble sleeping and couldn't get motivated to do his physical therapy, the only thing his doctors could offer him. In our first session, we were able to eliminate the tremors and repetitive movements, get him to sleep more soundly, and motivate him to do his PT. After the second session he was able to speak for the first time in ears and he got out of his wheelchair and walked. After 5 sessions you couldn't even tel he was sick and now, 6 years later, he's till walking the dog, gardening, hiking his favorite trails.

Dr. Cara Bussell, PhD, LLC
Psychologist
A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia can bring uncertainty, grief, and major life changes for individuals and their families. I offer therapy to support adults experiencing memory loss as well as caregivers who are managing stress, overwhelm, and complex emotions. My approach is informed by neuropsychology, geropsychology, and evidence-based treatments that focus on dignity, practical coping strategies, and emotional support. Whether you are adjusting to a recent diagnosis or caring for a loved one, you do not have to face it alone. I welcome you to contact me for a free consultation.

Carrollton is a Dallas-area suburb with an unusually diverse character for the DFW metro, home to one of the largest Korean-American communities in Texas—with a well-established Koreatown corridor—as well as significant Vietnamese, Indian, and Chinese communities, creating a demand for multilingual and culturally competent therapy that is distinctive for a suburban Texas city. Korean-speaking, Vietnamese-speaking, and other Asian-language therapists are sought after in Carrollton, and practices specializing in the mental health needs of first and second-generation immigrant communities are an important part of the local landscape. Common therapy concerns include intergenerational family dynamics, acculturation and cultural identity, academic pressure in communities with high educational expectations, immigration stress, and the challenges of navigating bicultural identity in a conservative Texas suburban context. The proximity to Dallas's much larger therapy market gives residents access to the full breadth of specialties available in the metroplex.
