Our
Clinic
Woodlands Psychotherapy and Brain Training was founded by Dr. Patricia Dearman in 2015. Dr. Dearman envisioned a practice that would bring together highly-skilled professionals with different expertises in the areas of mental health and neuroscience. This team approach allows our patients to receive comprehensive care by multidisciplinary professionals who all collaborate with one another. Every client at our clinic receives treatment that is informed by input from this interdisciplinary team of healthcare experts.
Since its founding, Woodlands Psychotherapy and Brain Training has become a leading provider for mental healthcare and cognitive performance enhancement in the greater Houston area. At our clinic, we treat a variety of emotional, behavioral, learning, and cognitive issues for children, adolescents and adults. We specialize in treatments informed by detailed clinical assessments and functional brain-imaging. All patients receive powerful, cutting-edge interventions administered by our highly-skilled practitioners.

The first step in our treatment process is to meet with you for an initial intake session. The goal of this session is to connect with, and learn about, you. This includes learning your reasons for reaching out to us, symptoms, comprehensive history, and goals for treatment.
The second step in our treatment process is conducting a full evaluation in order to inform our treatment planning for you. What your evaluation will look like will depend on information gathered during the initial intake meeting and will be tailored individually for you. The specific components that will be included in your evaluation will depend on what your individual symptoms and goals are. Your evaluation may include functional brain imaging, neuropsychological testing and other diagnostic testing depending on your individual needs.
The third step is the development of your personalized treatment plan. The way that we develop your treatment plan is a major element that differentiates our clinic from other health providers. Every single one of our patients have an entire team of highly-skilled professionals that actively collaborate on their treatment. The benefit of receiving care from our interdisciplinary team of mental and medical health professionals begins with the development of your personal treatment plan. Our team takes all of the information gathered through the initial intake and evaluation and then collaborates to develop the most effective treatment plan for you.
Once all of the results from your evaluation have been compiled and your treatment plan has been formed, you will have a follow-up session with us before treatment begins. During this session we will spend as much time as is needed with you in order to fully explain all of our findings, diagnoses and results from any brain-imaging and testing performed. Prior to this session you will have received an extremely detailed report of all your imaging and testing results written specifically for you in a way that you can understand. Having this report in advance of your follow-up session will allow you to digest the information and prepare any questions for us that we can answer during your follow-up session. In addition, during this session we will walk you through your comprehensive treatment plan. We will fully explain why the specific treatment interventions included in your treatment plan are indicated based on your evaluation results, and how they will lead to the accomplishment of your treatment goals. This session can be a meaningful experience for our patients as it is often the first time they understand the underlying causes of their symptoms and have hope that they can be resolved.
The final step is the implementation of your individualized treatment plan, which will be administered by our team of highly-skilled professionals. This will include whatever specific treatment interventions are warranted based on your needs and goals. This often includes a unique brain-body approach to treatment that can heal the underlying issues that cause symptoms. All of the individual treatment techniques employed during your care will work synergistically to have a more powerful impact than any single intervention would alone. We will constantly track your treatment progress through the use of objective clinical assessments and subjective self-reporting to continually adjust your treatment to make it optimally effective. We will guide you through this process of healing continue until your treatment goals have been met.
