Alicia Vanden Bussche Jantz, PhD

I went into neuropsychology to understand how brain changes affect real-world behavior and to help patients and families by providing practical strategies to improve their lives. I’m particularly passionate about working with complex cases and patients with limited insight or behavioral challenges after neurological injury.

My approach to care is collaborative and practical. I focus on understanding the whole person, not just test scores, and on translating results into clear, realistic strategies that support patients and families in daily life, especially in the early adjustment period. I want patients and their families to feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way.

I experience joy in my work when patients and families begin to understand what is happening and feel more hopeful. I find it especially meaningful to be part of small — but important — moments of progress.
