There can be many challenges, both physical and psychological, in returning to a fully functional life after an injury. Often, patients develop problems with depression, anxiety, and inappropriate use of medications that complicate efforts at resuming work and normal activities. Psychological interventions addressing these issues can play a dramatic role in enabling successful rehabilitation.

The Rehab Center’s interdisciplinary team includes licensed psychologists who specialize in health
and rehabilitation psychology and neuropsychology. Members of the team provide a wide range
of services, including short-term individual counseling, group therapy, psychological assessments, and
neuropsychological evaluations.

Dr. Brian O’Malley received his undergraduate and graduate degrees in counseling psychology from The Ohio
State University. Prior to founding The Rehab Center in 1987, Dr. O’Malley was on the faculty of the
departments of physical medicine and psychiatry at The Ohio State University. He has devoted his practice to
the rehabilitation of individuals with chronic pain and those who have experienced traumatic events while
on the job.
