Doreen Bridgman
MS, CCC, SLP-CBHC
With over 30 years of experience in cognitive rehabilitation, I've dedicated my career to supporting individuals facing cognitive challenges. I work with clients navigating ADHD, concussion recovery, stress and burnout, and those seeking peak cognitive performance.
I believe that everyone deserves control over their lives. When cognitive functioning is compromised—whether from ADHD, injury, stress, or simply wanting to perform at your best—that sense of control and independence can slip away.
My mission is to help you regain that control and increase your independence.
I employ a compassionate, evidence-based approach to each client, designing customized programs that go beyond conventional methods. Through individualized cognitive coaching, I work with adults and students who are struggling with daily tasks or looking to improve their skills—whether for work, school, or everyday life.
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every person's brain is unique, and so are the challenges they face. That's why I create personalized strategies tailored to your specific cognitive profile, your life circumstances, and your goals.

Cognitive Energy Focus
Cognitive energy is the energy used for thinking, focusing, and making decisions. Just like physical energy, it can be depleted—and restored.
I incorporate cognitive energy management into all of my sessions, whether it's ADHD coaching, concussion recovery, or peak performance optimization. You'll learn to recognize your cognitive patterns, identify what drains your mental energy, and build sustainable strategies to restore clarity throughout your day.
Brain Health Education
I incorporate brain health education into all of my coaching sessions, empowering clients with knowledge that supports lasting cognitive wellness.
I'm also available to provide brain health education to small and mid-sized businesses, as well as families, helping teams and loved ones understand how to support cognitive wellness and optimize mental performance.
