In the past, for neuropsychological evaluations, I also required updated labwork, updated imaging (CT/MRI scans), and completion of a lengthy health history questionnaire before being scheduled. 

These are also not necessary to sign up for coaching. 

I provided neuropsychological evaluation/testing services for over 15 years. At one point the wait time for an evaluation with me was about 6 months. That's way too long to have to wait for neuropsychological care. 

I needed to find a way to care for more people without making them wait. 

By switching from long evaluations to brief coaching visits, I can guide more people to better understand their own mind, the many factors that could be getting in the way for them, and what to do about it. 

More information and support, less wait time. 

Individuals with concussion can still be referred to Dr. Bridgman, but with some important differences. 

He is not providing formal concussion "evaluation and management" services at this time (no diagnosis, or clearance for work/school/sports services). 

However, anyone with cognitive or mood symptoms (such as listed in the first question above) from a concussion will benefit from the coaching appointments and so should be encouraged to schedule. They are welcome to ask any concussion-specific questions during any of those appointments. Through these visits, they will come to better understand their symptoms and what to do about them, which they can then discuss further with their other healthcare providers to adjust formal treatment plans as needed.
