Better Minds Group

The internet is speeding life beyond our understanding and control. Children have multiple sources of information, many beyond your understanding and control. Cognitive work has largely replaced physical work. Leading by fear degrades cognitive performance. Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose are the incentives that inspire. We help you understand this new world, your place in it, and give you, and those you care about, the flexible and adaptive minds to live, love, and work well- the wellspring of creativity. Contextual Counseling:
Behavior without context is meaningless. We blame ourselves too easily for things that go wrong whether they are within our control or beyond our control. Our natural guiding intuitions are overridden by years of social conditioning. In stressful situations, primitive impulses can trigger and hijack our ability to make calm decisions. We help you understand how behavior can go wrong. We then help you stimulate healthy growth from the inside out. Whole-Brain Assessment:
Assessments help determine our best course of action. To fine tune your goals, we use a set of evaluations that uncover your unique gifts and needs. We help you understand your personality style, your emotional style, and your cognitive style. Our sophisticated 20 site eeg (electroencephalogram) assessment reveals how effectively your brain is carrying out its duties. We generate a“what you do best” detailed report and training plan- our Blueprint for a Better Mind™. The Blueprint is especially helpful in identifying a career path that suits the life you desire. With the Blueprint in hand, we begin training your Better Mind. EMDR:
Clean out the trauma that keeps you from reaching your potential. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, activates your brain’s hidden, natural capacity to heal old (often unconscious) traumatic memories, which trigger overreactions. EMDR also promotes creative problem solving and working through mental blocks by allowing you to think through the strong emotional reactions that have you stuck. NeurOptimal® EEG Biofeedback:
NeurOptimal® eeg biofeedback reads the electrical activity generated by your brain’s cortex to identify disruptive firing patterns. Then it gives your brain real-time feedback that allows it to self-correct for better function, more resiliency, and sense of calm. All while you relax for 33 pleasant minutes of napping, listening to music, or watching a movie. ADHD Evaluations:
An increasing number of adults have concerns that they may be afflicted with Attention Deficit Disorder also known as ADHD. We offer a comprehensive evaluation that holistically explores many aspects of the individual’s functioning. This includes a direct examination of symptoms that are related to ADHD while giving consideration to and assessing other conditions that might be responsible for those symptoms or exacerbating ADHD symptoms. Should it be determined that ADHD is present the therapy staff will work with the individual to develop behavioral strategies to remediate problems created by ADHD. In the event that another disorder is the source of concerns, our staff will work with the individual, to help reduce the impact of these problem areas.
