Dr Julia Harper PhD, MS, OTR/L

TheraPeeds Family Center
H.O.P.E Method

At the center of her work, Dr. Harper offers a WAY to HOPE, merging her two proprietary models: H.O.P.E. (Harper's Optimal Protocols for Enrichment), which focuses on rewiring the brain, and W.A.Y. (What About You), which retains the mind to move beyond emotional and thought limitations. The HOPE method offers a systematic framework upon which to determine interventions and outcomes. The WAY method supports HOPE by providing a step-by-step path to changing the psychological and social-cognitive environment of the client, thus allowing new neurological pathways to stabilize and strengthen HOPE method outcomes.
