"This has been so challenging and I think it may be time for a psychologist or someone for added support...How do you go about finding someone familiar with MTBI?"

Hi, eponagirl - I'd try first contacting your State's Brain Injury Association or Brain Injury Foundation. You may get helpful referrals.
(In my case in this State, they do not. No help with suggestions for appropriate doctors, neuropsychologists, psychologists, counselors, physical therapists, occupational or speech therapists.) Here's the link:

Also, check for local Brain Injury Support Groups. You can learn from people there who's been helped by whom, much like here in this forum. I do hope that you get some genuine local support. I know how isolated I became and that's not good for anyone to heal and mend one's brain.
I know that others on here will have even better suggestions for you.
Meanwhile know that you've got a lot of highly knowledgeable and very caring people here on your team!
