Our Specialists
Brandessa Shelton
Brandessa is Lynette’s daughter and proof that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! She has trained exclusively under Lynette and shares her unique approach to Neurofeedback. After growing up in a home with four adopted siblings on the Autism spectrum, she has had the incredible opportunity to experience first hand the benefits of Neurofeedback and playroom therapy within her own family. As a result she brings a unique blend of professional knowledge and real-life experience to her work. Brandessa is also a Licensed Massage Therapist and can integrate Neuromuscular therapy for sensory integration when needed. At present she is the only therapist in the country to offer Neurossage; a combination of Neurofeedback and Massage Therapy. In addition to her life experience, she has extensive professional experience working with a variety of disabilities including Cerebral Palsy, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Autism, and Mental Retardation. Brandessa has an incredibly compassionate nature and a deep understanding of family dynamics, approaching each new child with sincere interest and passion. She has two children of her own and currently resides in Santa Monica, CA.
Tsara Shelton
Tsara is also Lynette’s daughter in this family-run business. She is the mother of four delightful boys; two of whom displayed symptoms of autism in their early years. All are currently in the regular school system and none receive special education programming. Tsara has spent most of her years as a caregiver. She began her career working for a small employee daycare in a Physical Therapy center in Houston Texas. She brought creativity and patience to the job and has worked doing respite care with children of all ages. Tsara provides support for parents and a special program for siblings during the time the challenged child is engaged in intensive, in-home sessions with our play and neurofeedback team. She helps siblings understand their challenged brother or sister. Tsara is invaluable during our work with large families and families needing an extra pair of loving hands during sessions.
