Dr. Frank Lawlis of The PNP Center
Part 1: CUTV News Radio Spotlights Dr. Frank Lawlis of The PNP Center
Lewisville, TX – Dr. Frank Lawlis is a clinical and medical psychologist and co-founder of the PsychoNeuroPlasticity Center. The PNP Center’s primary mission is to providing objective diagnoses and treatment programs for individuals dealing with problems associated with neurological issues. Through a multifaceted diagnostic assessment, PNP Center can help find solutions to the variety of challenges in neurological and psychological development.
“We want to find answers to problem behaviors, but most of all, we want to help people discover and utilize the tremendous talent and abilities they have for an abundant life,” says Dr. Lawlis.
“We do a full assessment, putting everything together in terms of introducing new approaches to how to re-balance the mind and the body,” says Dr. Lawlis.
Medical psychology explores how the body reacts to the brain and how the brain reacts to the body. Psycho-Neuroplasticity means we can change the brain patterns to correct destructive directions.
Dr. Lawlis’s passion is using rhythms and sound frequencies to correct imbalances in the body and disrupt destructive brain patterns. To that end, Dr. Lawlis invented the bioacoustical utilization device, or BAUD.
“My theory is that you can use these drumming sequences and sounds to basically interrupt the brain pattern, disrupting the connection and replacing it with a pattern of joy and happiness,” says Dr. Lawlis. “It's re-balancing the brain and restructuring some of the patterns of those neurological connections so that you don't go down that spiral of despair and you can experience true joy.”

Dr. Martha Latz of A Unique Therapy Center
Part 22: Close Up Radio Welcomes Back Dr. Martha Latz of A Unique Therapy Center
Boca Raton, FL – Dr. Latz is the founder of A Unique Therapy Center. For nearly 30 years, Dr. Latz has provided an emotionally supportive environment to help individuals and their loved ones navigate challenging life transitions. Dr. Latz weaves both traditional and holistic approaches to fully address the whole person: mind, body and spirit.
“So much of this work is about discovering language to express feelings,” says Dr. Latz. “In my opinion, this is the therapist’s primary job: to help you find a way to express what is inexpressible. Once you have the words, it takes shape. When it takes shape, it takes form. When it takes form, then you can create and execute a plan to move forward.”
Though some clients may be skeptical of conducting therapy remotely, Dr. Latz is finding her approach lends itself perfectly to phone therapy, and it can be very effective.
“Face-to-face has historically been so important to establishing the therapeutic relationship, however working remotely has become the new norm for everyone, therapists included,” says Dr. Latz. “Of course, it's going to have its limitations, so it takes a little more effort to reassure a new client. This is listening in its purest form, so I have learned to be more therapeutically alert to build the client’s confidence in me.”
Dr. Latz is encouraging her clients to use this time as an opportunity to be more reflective of their life by staying present to the present moment.
“The past and future can easily become entangled in our present,” says Dr. Latz. “A therapist can be very helpful in guiding us to unravel our emotions.”

Forensic Psychologist and Author Brenda Russell
Close Up Radio Spotlights Forensic Psychologist and Author Brenda Russell
Reading, PA – Brenda is a forensic psychologist, highly sought after speaker, dedicated feminist, and the author of five books, "Gender and Domestic Violence: Contemporary Legal Practice and Intervention Reforms, Oxford University Press" "Intimate Partner Violence in the LGBT+ Community" "Online Research Essentials", Jossey Bass-Wiley, and "Battered Woman Syndrome as a Legal Defense", MacFarland, Inc., and "Perceptions of Female Offenders: How Stereotypes and Social Norms Affect Criminal Justice Responses", Brenda has two more books coming out this November including a two volume second edition of Perceptions of Female Offenders.
Brenda is best known for her exemplary work on interpersonal violence and sexual harassment with a dedicated focus on elevating awareness. Her recent research investigates domestic violence myths towards male victims, exploring how the legal and criminal justice systems can evolve to recognize and serve all victims equally.
She recognizes that this traditional gender paradigm with its notions of masculinity and femininity, does not fit in our evolving society. Her mission is to shine a light on the obscured reality that abuse is not confined to gender and that heterosexual male and LGBTQ individuals are also victims of these crimes often at similar or higher rates.
Brenda does not intend to minimize the abuse of women, but rather seeks to create a society where all victims of abuse are treated with the dignity, compassion, and understanding they deserve, no matter the gender identity or sexual orientation. She assertively stands against the trivialization of abuse for all victims and works to help others recognize these crimes as a human issue, not a gendered issue.

Austin, TX – Close Up Radio is excited to welcome back Dr. Don Allen, an exceptional Clinical Social Worker, Certified EMDR specialist and consultant, Public Speaker, Certified Gottman Therapist.
Part of his objective today is to seek to bridge the gap between our exhaustion over COVID-19.
He is excited to announce he will be starting to schedule upcoming couples’ workshop like the Art and Science of Love and The Seven Principles Approach to Marriage created by the Gottman Institute and John and Julie Gottman. These workshops are designed to ideally help struggling couples mend their relationships or to help healthy happy marriage learn better ways to enhance their love relationship. These workshops will be in person!!!
In this upcoming radio interview, Don will discuss such important topics as the essential need for balance and internal locus of control. He will talk about how COVID-19 has had major effects on our romantic life.
“Our goal is to help couples leave workshops with more skills, ability and self-assurance so that they can use these skills over a lifetime”. Sadly, our society does not teach these skills in schools and many of us never had the role models to teach us these skills or perhaps we have just never learned them on our own. John and Julie Gottman have incorporated science and a method that can provide this set of skills now. Dr. Allen can bring these methods to you.
