                                                                  Welcome                                         

                                                                  Picture
                                                                  The Answer Model is a new, unifying model of human behavior that is also a powerful new method of healing, counseling, and personal growth.  The Answer Model - which is based on cutting-edge research in neuroscience -  suggests that a relatively simple, core dynamic in the brain drives all self-destructive, self-defeating emotional and behavioral patterns. The Answer Model therapeutic method will show you how to overcome the "addictive" drive, which acts to unnecessarily throw people out of physical and emotional balance. The addictive drive, we believe, is what creates all unnecessary pain, anxiety, depression, and other types of emotional distress. By breaking down neural circuits in the brain that serve the addictive drive, The Answer Model will allow you to harness the most powerful force in your brain and body - a force that's always trying to bring you into emotional and physical balance - to create natural, organic healing without medication.

                                                                  The Answer Model therapeutic method has been extraordinarily effective in helping people overcome a wide variety of psychological and physical ills, including food addiction, eating disorders, anxiety disorders, sex addiction, drug and alcohol addiction, body dysmorphic disorder, chronic pain, and chronic depression.
