Personalized Care

Care Built Around Your Brain

No two brains, injuries or goals are alike, so no two CogniViiSION® plans are alike. Your care starts with your story, and it changes as you progress.

Why It Matters

Why One-Size-Fits-All Falls Short

Two people can share the same diagnosis and have completely different struggles. A single area of the brain often controls several skills, so treating one symptom at a time can miss the bigger picture. A problem that seems handled today can resurface later, when life asks more of that same area, like a child who seemed fine at five but struggles with reading at eight.

That’s why we don’t start with a protocol. We start with you: what happened, how your brain is processing what you see, and what you want your life to look like again.

“We don’t just see a set of eyes; we see an individual with unique goals, a unique brain, and a unique story.”

How We Tailor Your Care

Personal From the First Conversation

1

We listen to your whole story

Care begins with a comprehensive intake with Dr. Lorenzana, about two hours. We explore your symptoms, the biological, psychological and social factors that may be contributing, and what success looks like for you.

2

We map how your brain sees

Your Brain-Visual Evaluation measures eye teaming, focusing, tracking, processing speed, peripheral and spatial awareness, and how vision works with hearing and balance. We also check nervous-system signs such as primitive reflexes and vagus nerve tone.

3

We match the tools to you

Dr. Lorenzana chooses the least invasive, most effective combination for your brain and your goals, and explains why each piece of your plan is there.

4

We measure and adjust

Regular progress checks show what’s changing. Your plan is adjusted as you improve, so your time is always spent on what matters most.

Your Toolkit

What Your Plan Can Include

Every plan is different. Depending on your evaluation and goals, yours may draw on:

Neuro-optical lenses

Performance glasses that may include a mild prescription, prism for posture and alignment, or colored filters.

Neuro-visual therapy

Targeted, progressive brain-vision exercises that build new visual pathways, in the office and at home.

Photobiomodulation

Gentle light therapy to help calm the nervous system and reduce inflammation.

Nutritional support

Brain-specific nutrition and supplement guidance to support healing and long-term brain health.

Mindset & stress

Techniques to regulate the nervous system and rewire limiting beliefs.

Structural support

Referrals for chiropractic, physical therapy or other bodywork when your body needs support too.

Real-world practice

Strategies to carry your new skills into school, work, sports and home life.

Coordinated care

With your permission, we share what we learn with your other providers so every therapy works better.

The Six Pillars

Six Pillars, One Plan

Your plan is built on the six pillars of the CogniViiSION® Method, Dr. Lorenzana’s roadmap for healing and optimizing the brain. They aren’t rigid steps. Think of them as strands woven together; many happen at the same time.

R1

Recover

Support the physical healing of the brain itself.

R2

Restore

Rehabilitate, re-learn and re-train the skills that were lost or never fully developed.

R3

Regulate

Calm the nervous system’s “internal fire alarm” so your brain can focus on healing.

R4

Rewire

Rebuild hope and the belief that healing is possible, and let go of the thoughts that hold you back.

R5

Reintegrate

Return with confidence to family, school, work and community.

R6

Resources

Practical guidance on the financial side of care, so cost is less of a barrier.

Every Stage of Life

Tailored to Your Age and Your Goals

We work with patients of all ages, from infants to seniors, and adapt every part of care to be age-appropriate and engaging.

Children

Early development, learning and reading, visual processing, myopia and concussion. Evaluations can start in infancy.

Teens & Young Adults

Concussion recovery, screen fatigue, attention and academic pressure, and sports performance.

Adults

Lingering concussion symptoms, brain fog, headaches, screen fatigue, and posture or balance problems.

Adults 55+

Balance and fall risk, eye health, and vision changes linked to neurological conditions.

Fits Your Life

A Plan That Works With Your Schedule

Your pace

Treatment is usually about two hours per week. Programs typically range from 24 to 48 or more hours, and you'll get a clear timeline up front.

In person or from afar

Follow-ups can be in person, by phone or by video. Live outside Illinois? Our hybrid model combines intensive in-office blocks with telemedicine.

Clear about cost

We're an out-of-network provider and can give you a superbill for possible reimbursement. Many HSA and FSA plans cover our services, and payment plans are available.

Questions About Personalized Care

No. Two people with the same diagnosis can need very different plans. Yours is built from your intake, your Brain-Visual Evaluation and your goals, and it changes as you progress.

Traditional vision therapy often works on isolated skills with a standard set of exercises. CogniViiSION® maps your whole visual processing system, works across all three brain regions, and builds your program around your specific profile. During your evaluation, we’ll review what you’ve tried and explain what we would do differently.

Yes. Recovery works best as a team. With your permission, we share what we learn about how your brain processes vision, so occupational therapy, physical therapy and your other care can be more effective.

Absolutely. We see patients from infancy through their senior years, and every part of the process is adapted to be age-appropriate and engaging for children.

Your evaluation will tell us. We only recommend a program when we’re confident we can help, and you’ll never be pressured to decide on the spot.
