Kristine Boward
Psychologist, Registered Dietitian
The Center, LLC is a cooperative practice dedicated to providing expert, warm, and personal, psychological, biofeedback and nutrition services.
As Director of The Center, LLC, I am continually focused on creating an environment that is calming and inviting in which you are treated as an individual while gaining from the expertise of a team of highly trained psychologists and nutritionist. I sincerely hope your experience at The Center, LLC is one of introspection, personal growth, curiosity and relief from aspects of your internal world that may have been painful. In 2018, my work shifted from individual clinical practice toward The Centered Brain, our biofeedback and neurofeedback treatment center. In both practices I use a variety of therapeutic strategies depending on the individual and often use analogy and imagery to gain a more tangible grasp of issues that may feel murky or nebulous. The Centered Brain uses a team approach as our clinical staff incorporates psychotherapeutic and biofeedback techniques to assist clients in developing and maintaining minds and bodies that respond to the world around them with balanced thoughtfulness and flexibility.
