165. TBI community supports in Connecticut with Jamie Arbor

Jamie Arber, MA, LPC, CBIST, CCH Executive Director, The Supported Living Group. Jamie Arber is a clinician, executive, and systems strategist whose work sits at the intersection of trauma recovery, brain injury rehabilitation, and community integration. With a deep background in clinical-community psychology and over 15 years of leadership in the brain injury field, Jamie has developed and implemented innovative models of care that challenge the traditional institutional approach and reassert the importance of meaning, autonomy, and structure in the lives of survivors. From a clinical standpoint, Jamie’s approach is rooted in a recognition of the hierarchical nature of human needs, physiological, psychological, and existential, and how brain injury often fractures the scaffolding that supports identity and purpose. His work aims to reassemble that scaffolding through integrated supports that are clinically sound, individually responsive, and embedded in the community. As Executive Director of The Supported Living Group, Jamie led the organization to become Connecticut’s top-ranked provider of community-based services in its category, delivering over 15,000 hours of support weekly to specialized populations. His leadership has not only elevated service quality, but also transformed operational systems, expanding markets, securing sustainable funding, and advocating policy change through direct engagement with state officials. Jamie’s clinical insights and strategic vision have resulted in the development of specialized programs for survivors with complex neurobehavioral profiles, including vocational rehabilitation initiatives that emphasize not just function, but dignity and contribution. Jamie is a Licensed Professional Counselor with EMDR certification and a Certified Brain Injury Specialist. He has presented on neurorehabilitation, systems transformation, and trauma-informed care across a variety of platforms. His work is marked by a relentless commitment to reintegrating marginalized individuals into the fabric of society, not simply as recipients of care, but as full participants in life.

155. Using PrTMS to improve brain function with Dr. Kevin Murphy

Kevin T. Murphy, MD began his career as a radiation oncologist specializing in tumors of the central nervous system, or brain and spinal cord, with a focus in pediatric patients. He was a pioneer and thought leader in the field of frameless stereotactic radiosurgery in both pediatrics and adults, a technique now used worldwide. The development of PrTMS® was inspired by Dr. Murphy’s quest to alleviate the symptoms of his son’s autism spectrum disorder as well as the cognitive decline (or “chemobrain”) that often plagued his cancer patients after chemotherapy and radiation.  In 2017, Dr. Murphy founded PeakLogic, Inc., and by 2020, he pivoted from oncology to focus full-time on PrTMS® and empower physicians worldwide to improve the lives of patients suffering from neurocognitive and neurobehavioral conditions.  Since then, PrTMS® has been used to treat countless different neurocognitive and neural disorders or deficits as well as has garnered praise from active duty and military Veterans, and professional athletes seeking peak human performance.

150. Sleep medicine, psychiatry & the brain with Dr. Shane Creado

Dr. Shane Creado is a double board-certified sleep medicine doctor & psychiatrist. He practices functional sleep medicine, integrative psychiatry, & sports psychiatry. He completed a degree in physical therapy at the top of his class, completed an MD at the top of his class with a gold medal. He went on to psychiatry residency at the University of Wisconsin & was awarded the graduating resident award for academic achievement. He completed a fellowship in Sleep Medicine at the University of Wisconsin, Wisconsin Sleep and the world-renowned Center for Consciousness.

He saw that sleep was neglected or only addressed when a problem arose. When looking at the existing sleep landscape, he saw that most sleep ‘experts’ on TV or read about online are not sleep doctors. They are usually self-described sleep coaches, or at best, researchers or psychologists who are unaware of complicated health diagnoses, organ system interactions, have no training in medicine or underlying factors contributing to insomnia/sleep problems and are unable to prescribe/order tests & treatments. Those who are sleep doctors, are not trained in the gold-standard treatment of insomnia: CBT-insomnia or integrative, multi-level approaches to treating sleep & mental health disorders often only resorting to medications to only treat symptoms instead of root causes. It was this realization that drove him to write the book ‘Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes’, the cutting-edge sleep science that will guarantee a competitive advantage. It debuted #1 in Sports Medicine on Amazon. He is also a contributing author to 6 principal books in Sports Psychiatry. He has remained at the forefront of sports psychiatry for several years, co-authoring the paper 'First International Consensus on Sports Psychiatry' in 2024 and psychiatric treatment preferences of sports psychiatrists in 2024. He consults with individual athletes & provides sleep workshops to sports academies, sports organizations, sports teams. He provides ‘Sleep Retreats’ to organizations/companies, with education on sleep and performance, screening for sleep disorders, and specific strategies to improve sleep & workplace productivity. He has been on the Board of Directors of the International Society for Sports Psychiatry (ISSP) for several years, currently the VP North America for the ISSP, Delegate for the USA for the International Summit on Advancing Sports Psychiatry, chair of the Sleep Performance Committee and Chairman of Innovation and Technology. He consults with the Amen Clinics and is the host of the Overcoming Insomnia course, available on Amen University, and has designed a best-selling personalized sleep supplement line for BrainMD. He also has consulted with the PGA tour Europe, the NBA Players association, the Australian Football League and the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee, Chicago Blackhawks, the Rafa Nadal Academy. He is the sleep consultant for the Sun Belt Conference (16 university athletic programs under the NCAA), is the sleep consultant for BrainTap, is on the advisory board for Mens Fitness and many more. He has been endorsed/mentioned by/consulted with a host of elite clients/colleagues such as Dr Daniel Amen, Team Body Works UK (triathlete academy), Team USA’s Dr. Todd Stull, Team Canada’s Dr. Carla Edwards, Team Australia’s Dr. Ranjit Menon, Mike Bryan, Jim Kwik, Erik Spoelstra (head coach Miami Heat), Hannah Brown, Hulda Quebe, Nick Hardwick, Washington University mens basketball, Danni Wyatt, LeAnn Rimes, Miranda Kerr, Stephen Cloobeck, several current Olympic athletes, many elite current/ retired athletes, the Enhanced Games, the Harvard Football Players Wellness Study and several other CEOs, founders and business leaders.
