The PNP Center Offers Integrative Assessment and Individualized Treatment Plans to Optimize Brain Function, Behavior, and Abilities.

The primary reason the PNP Center exists is to provide answers for parents and patients who have concerns which require good, objective and trustworthy treatments presented in an understandable manner with real hope of change. Our philosophy is based on the premise that once one understands limitations or challenges and once strengths have been identified, the brain and body have the capabilities to learn and compensate to be stronger, better functioning. We have good reason to be optimistic because we have seen good things happen in even the most distressed of circumstances. We want to find answers to problem behaviors, but most of all, we want to help people discover and utilize the tremendous talent and abilities they have for an abundant life.
ADHD, PTSD, Addictions, Anxiety, Autism Spectrum, Depression and Treatment Resistant Mood Disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Memory & Attention Disorders as well as other neurological challenges are best treated with a comprehensive multi-dimensional "brain-based" assessment. Understanding how the brain functioning is influencing behavior and cognition is essential to the PNP Center 2-day assessment.

The experiences of many individuals have demonstrated to the  PNP Center that complex brain related disorders involve interaction of several levels or layers of functioning (eg: neurological, psychological, cognitive / intellectual, psychophysiological, stress, metabolic / nutritional / toxicity). Successful treatment depends, first, on comprehensive assessment integrating the body, mind, and emotions.. 

The principle mission of the PNP Center is to provide a complete treatment plan with follow-up direction for treatment and training. For individuals living in the DFW area some of the behavioral medicine treatment needs may be provided through the PNP Center as additional services. For those individuals living at more distance every effort will be made to  locate services and coordinate care in their local area.
