Neurocognitive Disorders Therapy in Roanoke, VA
Support for memory changes, cognitive decline, and the emotional impact of neurological conditions for individuals and families.
Neurocognitive disorders involve changes in memory, thinking, attention, or decision-making that can affect daily life. Individuals may notice forgetfulness, confusion, difficulty completing familiar tasks, or changes in mood and personality. These changes can feel overwhelming not only for the individual, but also for family members and caregivers.
At The Manassas Group, we provide supportive counseling for neurocognitive disorders in Roanoke, Virginia depending on therapist availability and clinical appropriateness. Therapy focuses on helping individuals and families adjust to cognitive changes, manage emotional responses, and develop practical ways to navigate day-to-day challenges.
We offer both in-person counseling at our Roanoke office and telehealth sessions across most of Virginia when clinically appropriate.
Neurocognitive Conditions We Support
• Alzheimer’s Disease – progressive changes in memory, thinking, and behavior that affect daily functioning.
• Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) – noticeable cognitive changes that may not significantly interfere with independence but may increase over time.
• Vascular Neurocognitive Changes – cognitive difficulties related to blood flow or vascular conditions affecting the brain.

• Other Memory and Cognitive Changes – challenges with attention, processing, or decision-making that affect daily life.
Understanding Cognitive Changes
Cognitive changes can bring a wide range of emotional responses, including frustration, anxiety, sadness, or a sense of loss. Individuals may struggle with changes in independence or identity, while family members may feel unsure how to help or how to adjust to new roles.
Therapy provides a supportive space to process these experiences and develop practical strategies for communication, routine, and emotional support. Even when cognitive changes cannot be reversed, individuals and families can still improve quality of life, connection, and stability.
