About Us

Developed since 2012 by Ava Diamond Dreyer, LCSW

Clinical Psychotherapist | Certified in Nutritional Psychology, Neuroscience in Leadership, Brain Health, Trauma Recovery, Addiction Recovery | Neuroscience Success Strategist Ditch the reruns of the typical stress management, team-building, and performance-enhancing workplace wellness initiatives. Give your people the missing link to real self-care and quality performance: Neuroscience Intelligence (NQ). Protect YOUR investment in those whom you’ve spent your time and money to bring on board by elevating their NQ to foster their resilience.

A question I like to ask my audiences is, “Did you brush your teeth today?”.

The answers are typical the same with that mundane and essential routine.

The follow up question is, “How about your brain?” Your brain needs daily care, too. You need to protect IT so that it can do it’s primary job to protect YOU. NQ strategies can become a regular part of your routine much like your teethbrushing…and most of the strategies take just about the same amount of time that a good oral hygiene routine takes!

Getting an accurate diagnosis can be one of the most impactful experiences that you can have.

NQ changed my life. That is no exaggeration. I know what Ava means by Healthy Control because now I have it. In my role as Global Director of an IT Dept, my role as Household Director, lol, and my role as Community Leader, I feel a solid sense of self, calm, and confidence.

Elizabeth

I always thought that I had a good handle on my performance. When I discovered these strategies had incredible impact on how much less stressed and more confident I felt, my ability to produce...and with less error...took alot less energy.

Ross

I have been to countless stress-management programs and have encouraged my teams to develop great Work:Life Balance. As those words would come out of my mouth, I felt almost hypocritical.
