The focus of neuropsychological rehabilitation is to help individuals find ways to improve their functioning and to cope with the lingering effects of their injury and/or disability. Therapy often focuses on learning behaviors and tools to overcome obstacles created by the injury/disability and improve adjustment. It includes elements of psychotherapy as well as cognitive rehabilitation. 

​Psychotherapy is "talk-based" treatment for psychological and emotional disturbances. A number of psychotherapeutic tools are available for use in treatment. The nature of psychotherapy depends on the nature of the presenting problem, the individual being treated, and their specific needs. Dr. Khan draws from Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Psychodynamic, and Family Systems approaches in her psychotherapy work.

Cognitive Rehabilitation includes a set of evidence-based techniques to treat cognitive and/or behavioral problems resulting from acquired brain injury or other neurological condition. These techniques are used to restore cognitive skills that are compromised due to a brain injury. Treatment also focuses on the learning of new skills and behaviors to compensate for deficits. The overall goal of cognitive rehabilitation is to improve day-to-day functioning despite lingering cognitive difficulties due to brain injury.
