She is a Founder of the Neurorecovery Solutions, a non-profit organization which helps neurologically impaired, their families and caregivers in their often heart-breaking journey to well-being. She is also an educator who works with families of children and adults diagnosed with developmental, learning or emotional disabilities, applying transdisciplinary approach —  from the fields of neurology, general medicine, basic sciences, mental health, and pedagogy to solving puzzles of miscommunications and every-day interactions of these children and their parents. 

That is why she co-founded ParentsFirst!™ and Parents First Educational Network™, based on the fundamental paradigm shift: “from parenting to parenthood.” She hopes every parent feels nurtured, loved and supported, and shares these gifts with their children, families and communities, creating a legacy of unconditional love for all.

Many of these topics are included in her book – Neurobiology is Destiny: A Guide to Brain-Mind-Soul-Body Matters – which is designed for mental health professionals and the general public curious about their brain-mind-body wellness.

This passion fueled her publishing endeavors, which realized into founding the ORI Academic Press, the MindMend Publishing Co., and the Mind Consilium, a trans-disciplinary journal with main focus on cross-pollination of knowledge and experience from various mental health, medicine, and science fields.

Neurology is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the nervous system. Neurologists are licensed medical specialists who diagnose and treat disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles of patients. They examine a patient’s mental and physical status, conduct medical tests and scans, and evaluate the results to diagnose and treat the patient.

An authority in her field, Dr. Rozentsvit frequently speaks at conferences about neurobiology and psychoanalysis. She has also published articles on the neurobiological approach to psychoanalytic work.
