Jamie Arber, LPC - CBIS-T - CAGCS - CCH - EMDR trained - 15+ years in Connecticut brain injury support.
Is this the right place?
Many people look “fine” after a neurological injury. Inside the house, things are not fine.
You may be dealing with irritability, fog, grief, personality change, scan anxiety, or a family that does not recognize its own routines anymore.
Neurospark Counseling is a private telehealth practice for that part of recovery — the emotional, identity, and relationship work that medical appointments rarely have time for.
Three paths
For survivors
Counseling after TBI, concussion, stroke, or brain tumor. Sessions move at a pace a tired brain can use.
For families and caregivers
A place to tell the truth about burnout, guilt, and the person you miss — without taking anything away from the person you love.
For healthcare professionals
Confidential support for clinicians and rehab staff carrying neurological trauma, moral distress, and compassion fatigue.
What sessions are for
Grief for the life and self that changed
Anxiety, depression, and emotional swings after neurological injury
Identity: “I don’t feel like myself.”
Couples and family strain when roles suddenly change
Scan anxiety, uncertainty, and fear of another event
Return-to-work worry, fatigue, and confidence
Caregiver exhaustion that has started to look like numbness
Modalities used when they fit the person in front of me include EMDR, hypnosis, grief counseling, and trauma-informed therapy. The method is never more important than your energy that day.
Meet Jamie
I’m Jamie Arber, a licensed professional counselor in Connecticut.
Before this practice, I spent more than 15 years in community brain injury support, including leadership in community-based ABI, ASD, and disability support services. I became a counselor because the emotional work after neurological injury is still hard to find.
I work statewide by secure video. I do not bill insurance. That keeps sessions focused on your goals instead of session caps and pre-authorizations.
How we start
1. Request a consult. I reply within one business day.
2. We talk briefly about what happened, what is hard now, and whether this practice is a fit.
3. If we continue, the first appointment is a 60–90 minute intake ($300). Ongoing sessions are 50 minutes ($200).
What this practice is not
Not neuropsychological testing
Not physical, occupational, or speech therapy
Not a hospital or crisis clinic
Not medical
Not in-network with insurance plans
If you need those services, I will say so plainly and help you think about next steps.
Connecticut Telehealth
Sessions are by secure, HIPAA-compliant video. You need to be in Connecticut at the time we meet.
