Dr. Nanaz Pirnia, a psychotherapist and clinical director of The Mind Therapy Center, is excited with the high success rate and results   she is seeing with her clients.

• An 18-year-old girl was diagnosed with depression, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder. After two months of therapy she is free of symptoms and back in college.

• A 52-year-old man was paralyzed on his left side; the result of surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in his brain. He could not speak, walk or express thought, and was extremely forgetful. Two months into his treatment he can walk without a cane, read, speak and remember words.

• A 35-year-old woman was abused as a child and witnessed the murder of her family. She continued higher education, but was emotionally traumatized and had “flat” emotion. She reported fears, depression, lack of empathy and flashbacks. Today, after four months of treatment, she is happily married and will soon be giving birth to her second child. She sleeps well and has no depression.

The breakthrough in technology comes after 25 years as a psychotherapist where Pirnia realized children and adults were taking medications that masked the brain’s imbalances and nutritional deficiencies leading to abuse and misuse of drugs.

The center uses one-of-a-kind Neuro-Integrative therapy, combining QEEG brain mapping and EEG-HEG biofeedback, Alpha system, sound, motion, color and light therapy, in conjunction with psychotherapy, specialized brain nutrients and neurotransmitter regulation to treat such conditions as ADD, ADHD, memory loss, Autism, addictions, brain injuries and more.

The non-invasive and non-drug treatment balances and re-connects brain cells, Pirnia says, to resolve specific brain disorders which helps people change improper behavior while giving them better control over their mood and thoughts.

The process starts when neurologists at the center measure and map a client’s abnormal activity over 19 regions of the brain. This map is used to create individualized designs for neuro-feedback and neuro-integration. “With this analysis, brain dysfunction is pinpointed and using this technology, growth and change at the cellular level can be promoted that empowers patients to use their mind as a remedial too,” Pirnia said.

“The brain needs to be cared for,” Pirnia said, "as every time there is shock, trauma, accident, and a loss, abuse of alcohol and drugs or head injuries, brain cells are affected which then influence feelings, thoughts, learning abilities and simple actions people take every day.

“This state of brain decline get aggravated over time as the lack of oxygenation and cellular connectivity become accentuated with the aging process.

“The good news,” Pirnia said, “is that the brain can be uplifted to gain speed, sharpness, alertness, and have it work optimally again with this new technology.”
