From the perspective of Alberto Lucas Luna, Neuropsychologist for online and inpatient cognitive therapy at the cereneo clinics.
At cereneo, cognitive therapy is a key part of our comprehensive neurological rehabilitation. Our specialized team addresses a wide range of cognitive and emotional challenges, providing assessments, diagnoses, and tailored therapies for conditions such as traumatic brain injuries, strokes, and neurodegenerative diseases. We focus on restoring memory, attention, and cognitive functions, while also offering support for anxiety, depression, and mood disorders.
Through highly personalized care, we aim to improve not only the patient’s cognitive recovery but also their emotional well-being, helping them and their families navigate the rehabilitation journey.
Ensuring a seamless support for patients in the clinic and at home
A seamless transition from inpatient rehabilitation to home-based therapy is crucial for continuous recovery. We carefully assess which patients will benefit from our at-home and online services. While still in the clinic, patients are introduced to innovative treatment options for the use at home, allowing them to test and familiarize themselves with these therapy settings before returning home.
We gather feedback from both therapists and patients to continually refine and enhance our care, ensuring a positive experience. Anticipating future needs, we work closely with patients to ensure they have the resources and support required to maintain their progress. By bridging the gap between intensive rehabilitation and at-home care, we help patients adjust to a personalized, effective therapy regimen from the comfort of their home.
Why I love my job: A personal & professional perspective
As a therapist, I find great fulfilment in applying cutting-edge, innovative methods tailored to each patient’s unique needs, guiding them through their recovery journey. Working alongside a multidisciplinary team, I collaborate with other professionals, patients, and their loved ones, all united by the goal of enhancing the patient’s quality of life.
Each patient I work with provides a new learning experience, helping me grow both personally and professionally. I take pride in contributing to the transformation of neurorehabilitation, making it more accessible, personalized, and evidence-based, so that individuals with brain injuries receive the best care possible not only in the clinic, but also back at their homes.
The ever-evolving nature of this field keeps me inspired to explore new therapeutic horizons and ensure our patients benefit from the latest advancements.
Overcoming challenges in neurorehabilitation
We are committed to overcoming challenges in neurorehabilitation with a positive, patient-centered approach. While some patients may initially resist online therapy, we highlight its convenience and accessibility, showing how it complements in-person care and helps maintain and improve overall progress.
We also actively support global efforts to create standardized, culturally inclusive cognitive assessment tools, ensuring fair and accurate evaluations for all.
Recognizing that cognitive and emotional symptoms of brain injuries are often less visible than physical ones, we focus on raising awareness about the importance of mental and emotional recovery. By educating patients and the public, we emphasize the equal value of both mind and body in the healing process.
