Our Holistic, Integrative Approach to Pediatric Mental Health

At North Texas Neurodevelopment, we believe in a whole-child approach to mental health, integrating neuroscience, holistic therapies, and evidence-based interventions to support children’s emotional, cognitive, and behavioral well-being.

Our Approach: Healing the Mind, Body, and Spirit

We recognize that every child is unique, and mental health is influenced by a combination of neurological, emotional, environmental, and physiological factors. Our integrative pediatric mental health model blends:

Neurodevelopmental Assessments: We measure cognitive abilities, learning, and executive functioning with an emphasis on understanding each child’s unique developmental history.
Traditional & Holistic Therapies: We combine play therapy, health and wellness psychoeducation, and family coaching with 5NP auricular acupuncture.
Nutritional & Lifestyle Interventions: We collaborate with other holistic pediatric clinicians to address gut-brain health, sleep, and nutrition for optimal cognitive function.
Family-Centered Care: We empower parents with family system strategies to support their child’s mental health and emotional resilience.
