Dr. Howard Rankin has become an authority on everything from brain-mapping to relationships to ... golf swings.
The only typical element in Dr. Howard Rankin’s psychology practice is the couch. Most people in his line of work have one, of course. But today, Rankin is the one sitting comfortably — feet propped up on the couch — talking about how his practice came to be.
The Rankin Center deals with relationship issues, addiction, Attention Deficit Disorder, anxiety and a host of other issues. But the cutting-edge practice looks at each patient not just from the traditional angle, but through actual brain-mapping; Rankin delves into the neuroscience of brain function and balance, which can profoundly impact treatments. The center’s motto: “The Science of You.”
