Meet the Team - Brain Performance center

Dr. Leigh Richardson

Dr. Leigh Richardson has studied human behavior for over 30 years. She began in organizational behavior but shifted her focus in 2003 after her son sustained a traumatic brain injury.

Having personally experienced two brain injuries that required ICU care, Dr. Leigh was driven to understand how the brain works—and why it sometimes doesn’t.

She is the founder and clinical director of Brain Performance Center®, where she leverages her MBA, MS in Counseling, and board certifications to deliver advanced, science-backed solutions for brain health. Dr. Richardson holds a Ph.D. in Psychology, and her dissertation, “The Lived Experience of Organizational Leaders with Crisis Decision-Making,” explores how leaders navigate high-stakes decisions in today’s fast-paced, high-pressure environments. This research strengthens the Center’s evidence-based approach and informs its work in Decision-Making, Resilience, and Cognitive Performance.

A recognized Brain health expert, Dr. Leigh regularly contributes to national radio and television, is the author of Turn Your Brain On – To Get Your Game On, an international speaker, and a syndicated radio host. She has also signed a second book with a publisher, set to be released before the end of 2026.

Kalista

Kalista is a graduate of Texas Woman’s University with a B.S. in Psychology and a minor in Neuroscience. After joining Leigh as a part-time intern in the summer of 2023, she has continued working with the Brain Performance Center® team for the past two years while gaining hands-on experience in brain-based assessment and neurotechnology. Kalista is currently in her first year of graduate school training to become a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), where she is deepening her knowledge of integrative therapeutic approaches. She is particularly interested in the intersection of counseling and neurofeedback, and in supporting optimal outcomes for clients through collaboration with the BPC® team.

F.Sofia

Verbiage Sofia is a graduate of Texas Women’s University with a B.S. in Psychology after previously earning her Associate of Arts degree from Lone Star College. Her background includes extensive experience supporting children and individuals with diverse developmental and behavioral needs through roles in autism intervention, caregiving, education, and academic support services. Through her work as an Early Intervention Autism Specialist and in-home care provider, F.Sophia developed a strong foundation in individualized care, adaptability, and compassionate client support. She is especially passionate about creating welcoming, supportive environments where individuals feel understood and encouraged in their growth. At Brain Performance Center®, F.Sofia brings a thoughtful, team-oriented approach and is excited to continue learning more about brain health, neurotechnology, and client-centered care alongside the BPC® team.

Brittany

Brittany assists the Brain Performance Center® team with administrative support and clinic operations while learning more about the technologies and services offered at BPC®. She first came to the clinic as a client in 2017 seeking help for migraines and later returned in 2019 following a traumatic brain injury sustained in a car accident in 2018. After experiencing firsthand the care and impact of brain-based therapies, Brittany developed a strong belief in the work being done at BPC®. Her journey from client to team member gives her a unique perspective and passion for supporting others on their brain health journey. Today, she helps keep the clinic running smoothly while bringing a bright, welcoming energy to the environment.
