Yellowbrick recognizes that individuals and families are best served when offered options that respond to their clinical, personal and financial context. Therefore Yellowbrick provides several choices for assessment and pathways for treatment.

Yellowbrick’s developmental neurobiological model integrates leading edge findings from neuroscience, developmental psychology, evidence-based psychotherapies, and wellness medicine to treat complex, and often treatment- resistant problems in emerging adults. Findings from developmental neuroscience indicate that emerging adult brains are more neuroplastic and capable of enduring change than at any other time other than conception through the first three years of life.

Research further indicates that the old adage, “experience is the best teacher” is true. The optimal conditions for brain healing and new learning require active engagement of those brain systems that are under-developed and deregulated in order to achieve true lasting change. That is why at Yellowbrick we have a dual synergistic model: Heal the Brain, by improving its neuroplasticity, inter-connections and self-regulation, while we Transform Lives through building cognitive, emotional, relational and life skills in the real world, in real time.

The Trauma Recovery Program at Yellowbrick is rooted in the understanding that traumatic experience affects not only our minds, emotions, and systems of belief but also the body. What are adaptive survival responses under threat; fight, flight, or freeze/collapse, become symptoms. The Trauma Recovery Program addresses the neurobiological and psychological effects of a hyperactivated nervous system and trauma-related attachment patterns from both a mind and body focus with the ultimate goal of integration of the fragmented self-states that trauma creates.

Yellowbrick’s emphasis working with emerging or young adults with early developmental trauma has particular implications for working with those who are adopted. They may have experienced not only early losses or attachment difficulties but also problems in interpersonal relationships, conflict with their parents that is often displaced, various kinds of learning problems, associated medical or neurological problems, and struggles to learn and understand the complexities of their personal identity.

Yellowbrick offers neuroscience technologies and neuromodulation services through an agreement with sister company Synchrony Brain Health.

Services include Deep TMS, Neurofeedback, Cognitive Enhancement, Mindfulness & Meditation Training, Yoga and Mind-Body Integration, Holistic Nutrition, Genetic analysis for medication consultation, and support for other self-directed healing practices.

These services can provide relief for depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD/trauma, insomnia, TBI, post-Covid brain fog and other conditions.
