The story of MindCareCenter is deeply intertwined with the Reinhardt family, where psychology has always been not only a science but a way of understanding the human soul. Dr. Daniel Reinhardt often recalls his grandmother – an old-school child psychologist who could listen to children as if she were hearing not words but feelings. From her, he inherited his belief that a child is never “difficult” – sometimes they just lack the language to express their pain.
This philosophy became the foundation of the author’s method of child therapy at MindCareCenter. Here, a child is never judged or “corrected.” Instead, they are guided toward understanding their emotions and expressing them safely and openly. The therapeutic process is built around dialogue – not instruction, but partnership – where the child feels respected and seen.
Dr. Reinhardt says that child psychology is, above all, the art of being present. At MindCareCenter, specialists are trained in his principle of “empathetic presence.” We don’t seek to provide ready-made answers – we create conditions where a child can find their own meanings and emotional clarity.
One of the unique features of the center is the use of play and creative therapy techniques that allow children to express their inner experiences without pressure. Through drawing, movement, music, or storytelling, they learn to communicate in the language of emotions. These methods trace back to the ideas of Dr. Reinhardt’s grandmother, who used to say: “When a child cannot speak – they still speak, just in other ways.”
Modern neuropsychological research only confirms what the Reinhardt family intuitively understood decades ago: emotional support in childhood shapes the resilience of an adult personality. That’s why at Mind Care Center, we work not only with children but also with their parents, helping families build relationships based on respect, warmth, and understanding.
The legacy of Dr. Reinhardt’s grandmother became more than family memory – it became the philosophy of an entire center. We believe that love and attention are the first tools of therapy. Everything else is just the form through which they appear.
