David Salisbury Clinical Director at Pate Rehabilitation

David B. Salisbury, Psy.D., ABPP-CN                                                

Clinical Director

Dr. Salisbury is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist who has worked with neurorehabilitation populations for nearly two decades. His passion for this population stems from an early training experience where traditional interventions were not effective in a substance abuse treatment center.

After seeking extensive consultation from mentors, Dr. Salisbury realized the key role unrecognized or suboptimally addressed traumatic brain injury played in this population. This realization led Dr. Salisbury to redirect his graduate studies and research interests. He sought to further understand the critical brain-behavior relationships that can dictate recovery from various brain injuries - and impact all aspects of quality of life for patients and their support systems.

Dr. Salisbury's experience in diverse medical and rehabilitation-based settings has provided a comprehensive understanding of the necessary care for brain injured populations, from the acute stage to early recovery and ultimately to assisting in the long-term care needs.

While his primary duties have remained heavily patient focused, Dr. Salisbury values and has remained active in research, teaching, student training and numerous professional societies focused on neuropsychology and rehabilitation medicine.

In his current duties as Pate’s Clinical Director, Dr. Salisbury has key roles in guiding the admission process for patients, overseeing clinical care and program development across sites.  This includes working with teams to continually provide the highest standard of research-based care. He also remains active in patient care within the treatment program and through external evaluations.
