Our Doctors

Together, they’ve created our groundbreaking Strength Assessment, the first and only online assessment designed specifically for children. They’ve combined modern knowledge of neuroplasticity with a desire to create a new way of looking at children and families. With this strength-based approach, we are helping parents to learn more about their children and then create healthy and reinforcing environments in which their children can thrive.
