Dr. Leigh E. Richardson has studied human behavior for over 30 years. Her initial focus was on organizational behavior, but she shifted to human behavior in 2003 after her son had a traumatic brain injury.
Dr. Leigh has been in the ICU twice with brain injuries, and all of this fueled her need to understand how the brain works or why it doesn’t work.
Dr. Leigh is the founder and clinical director of Brain Performance Center®, utilizing her MBA, MS, Counseling, and board certifications to offer state-of-the-art solutions for “brain” problems. She is now in the PhD Psychology Program at Walden, with an estimated completion in 2024.
