New Connections Neuropsychology

I’m Dr. Maryann Kruse Bens, a neuropsychologist based in San Leandro, California. My practice involves comprehensive evaluations of cognitive function, addressing concerns such as memory loss and changes after brain injuries.

I also work as a therapist, helping people identify and adjust old behavioral patterns, develop strategies to work around cognitive losses, acclimate to illness and injury, and deal with big life changes. I am here to help with compassion, humor, and a boatload of experience.

I work with clients who…
Are worried about memory loss
Have heard concerns from loved ones about changes in their cognitive abilities
Are adjusting to cognitive changes after an illness or injury
Want to get rid of that “stuck” feeling in life, relationships, or work
Have had their life trajectory changed by someone else’s injury or illness, like a parent diagnosed with dementia
