Job Description:

TheraPeeds Family Center is a premier, world renown therapy center that uses the science of neuroplasticity to retrain the brains and minds of children and adults with physiological and psychological/emotional limitations.

Our brain-based interventions are based on our proprietary H.O.P.E Method, which is a neurodevelopmental approach to therapy, based on the principles of brain development. For over 20 years we have established the effectiveness of brain rewiring using the H.O.P.E Method.

Our sister method, the W.A.Y (What About You) Model is a research-based intervention designed to retrain the mind using the principles of Positive Psychology and the science of Neuroplasticity. The result is a powerful combination of tools that uses a systematic and practical approach to build self-awareness, mindfulness, and clarity in the face of challenges and limitations in what we call the 4 P’s: Professional Life, Personal Life, Partnering Life, and Parenting Life.

Together both methods have been integrated as a brain-building and mind training system that uses neuroplasticity to make lasting changes in the brains and minds of our clients; allowing them to break away from limitations in skills and behaviors that impede their ability to function at their best in multiple areas of their lives.
