I want my girlfriend back.
I want to drive again.
I want to go back to work.
After a brain injury or mental health crisis, people don’t ask for techniques.
They want their lives back.
Relationships. Freedom. Purpose.
What rehabilitation actually feels like.
It’s not linear. It’s not always visible.
Some days, it’s making a phone call you’ve been avoiding for weeks.
Other days, it’s showing up—calm, focused, present—for something that would’ve knocked you flat a month ago.
Maybe even walking a little further than last week.
Progress doesn’t always look like healing.
Sometimes it looks like courage, clarity, or a moment of connection you thought was gone.
Rehabilitation facilitates these shifts—supporting the restoration of skills, independence, and the life you want to get back to.
New & Better Ways of Doing Valued Things
You don’t get to choose whether you have a health condition or not, but you do get to decide how you move forward.
About Dennis Radman
I stand at the nexus where resilience meets reinvention. I am a Rehabilitation Counselor, not merely by trade but by calling and a conviction as unyielding as the human spirit. I’ve navigated the nuanced tapestry of human challenges for over two decades. My role? A guide, a confidante, a strategist. I delve into the complexities of the human condition, untangling the knots of adversity to reveal the potential within. Each day, I embark on a journey alongside individuals who are themselves voyagers, braving the tempests of life’s trials and tribulations.
My approach is not just about coping; it’s about thriving. In the grand narrative of each client’s life, I strive to be a ghostwriter, subtly contributing to their chapters of triumph and transformation. I listen, not just with ears, but with empathy. I speak not just with words but with wisdom. Together, we chart a course toward a future not defined by the past but illuminated by the possibilities of what can be.
So, here I stand, a counsellor, armed with a Master’s in Social Work, an ally, a beacon of hope in the complex journey of human rehabilitation. If your path demands a guide, who believes in the power of human resilience, I am here. The script of life is ever-unfolding, and I am ready to play my part in your story of renewal and rediscovery.

Change Is Hard
This is the heart of it—the grey expanse where effort and limitation tangle. A patient’s course hinges on so much: the depth of their brain injury (a mild concussion vs. a severe stroke), their grit before the injury, their support network, and when we reach them.
Habits and Heuristics in Rehabilitation: Rethinking Behaviour’s Role
Focusing only on behaviour may not fully account for the factors driving patient actions. Struggles often arise not from lack of effort but from a framework that does not align with psychological and practical realities. Clinicians might explore a broader approach that integrates habits and heuristics to support environments where sustainable change can develop.
A systematic review of psychometric properties of questionnaires assessing activities of daily living among older adults with neurocognitive disorders
Cognitive impairment affects memory and thinking. It makes tasks like dressing, bathing and eating harder. Health-care workers use questionnaires to find out where someone struggles. This helps them plan better care. We reviewed questionnaires for older adults with memory and thinking problems. We found good ones that give important information. Using these questionnaires helps health-care workers support people with daily tasks. This study suggests testing the questionnaires more to improve them.
