MCI Navigator
A diagnosis is not a destination.
You received a diagnosis. You are still entirely here. The MCI Navigator is built around you, your questions, your independence, and your ability to make decisions about your own life while you are fully capable of making them.
The MCI Navigator: support after a mild cognitive impairment diagnosis
Six sessions. Your questions. Your terms. No one speaks for you here.
What MCI actually is
Mild Cognitive Impairment is not Alzheimer's Disease. It is not nothing, either. It sits in a specific place between the two. Real enough to show up on testing, not severe enough to significantly disrupt daily life. Some people with MCI progress to dementia. Some do not. What you do with the time between a diagnosis and whatever comes next matters more than most doctors have the time to tell you.
Most people leave their neurologist's office with a diagnosis, a follow-up appointment, and very little else. The MCI Navigator exists to fill that gap.
What this program is
The MCI Navigator is a six-session program for people who have received an MCI diagnosis and want to understand what it means, protect what matters to them, and make decisions about their own life with a clear head and real information.
We meet every two weeks over 90 days. Each session covers a different area chosen to address what you are dealing with at this stage. The work centers on your independence, your confidence, your relationships, and your future planning. All on your terms and at your pace.
You are the client. Not your family. Not your caregiver.
A trusted person in your life is welcome to join two specific sessions if you choose to include them. Those sessions address your healthcare team and future planning, where having someone alongside you can be useful. Every other session is yours alone.
Session schedule
Sessions run every two weeks across 90 days, giving you time between appointments to sit with what we covered and come back with real questions. The schedule is consistent. What fills it is shaped entirely by where you are and what matters most to you.
Getting Started
We meet before the program begins. You tell me what you know, what you do not know, and what you most want out of this. That conversation shapes everything that follows.
What MCI Actually Means
A clear, plain-language look at what your diagnosis actually says about your brain, your future, and what the research does and does not show. No vague reassurances. No unnecessary alarm.
Rebuilding Confidence
A diagnosis has a way of making you doubt yourself even when there is no reason to. This session addresses that directly and focuses on what you can do, not what you cannot.
Independence, Safety, and Your Healthcare Team
How to stay in control of your own healthcare, what questions to bring to your doctors, and how to think about independence and safety on your own terms.
Optional joint sessionLiving With Uncertainty
MCI means living with a question mark. This session focuses on how to carry that honestly without letting it shrink your life.
Social Life and Stigma
What to tell people and what not to. How to manage the relationships that have shifted since your diagnosis and protect the ones that matter most.
Making It Your Plan
Legal, financial, and personal decisions that are best made now, while you are fully in control of making them. This session is not about worst-case scenarios. It is about putting your own wishes at the center and making sure they are known and protected.
Optional joint sessionWho this is for
Someone who just received an MCI diagnosis and feels like the ground shifted under them. That reaction is not an overreaction. It is an honest response to real news, and this program is built for exactly that moment.
Someone who wants real information about what their diagnosis means, not generic reassurance. Someone who is not ready to hand decisions about their own life to the people around them. Someone who wants to plan while they are fully capable of doing so.
This is a navigation and education service, not a clinical one. If you are struggling with your mental health following a diagnosis, talking to a counselor or therapist alongside this work is worth considering. What this program offers is something different: structure, information, and a guide who will talk to you directly about what is happening and what you can do about it.
