Our Peak Performance Therapists approach the challenges of any student with an emphasis on the positive, helping that client understand his or her strengths while also becoming aware of the relative deficits that require special attention. The client’s self-esteem and motivation are as important as the scholastic or skills outcome, and the therapist is experienced in balancing the two in order to facilitate the optimal outcome and a balance of personal achievement and excellence.

The sessions are augmented by relaxation training that includes acoustically engineered background music designed to facilitate concentration and retention. The sessions also employ computerized programs that train and test the client’s reaction time and reward incremental improvement.
