Board Certified in Biofeedback, Board Certified in Neurofeedback

"As a clinical psychologist at Medical Psychology Center, it is my goal to continue offering a thorough and pragmatic/results-driven approach in what I do.  I aim to provide a comfortable, safe, and professional environment for people to come to learn how to help themselves. This includes physical problems such as headaches and insomnia, cognitive difficulties like attention deficit and stroke recovery, and emotional problems such as anxiety, trauma, and panic attacks. I strive to help my patients make these difficult changes as simply and systematically as possible. We will revel in your accomplishments and learn from any setbacks, both of which are an inevitable and expected aspect of personal development and change. With an eclectic approach to clinical psychology, my therapeutic styles can range from dynamic to cognitive-behavioral, unique to each person and problem."

As a Florida licensed Psychologist, Dr. Billiot has specialized her training in neuropsychology, psychological evaluation, biofeedback, neurofeedback, RESET therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and hypnosis. She is Board Certified in Biofeedback and Neurofeedback and has been interested in the mind-brain-body connection since the early 1990’s. Dr. Billiot provides individual therapy, trauma resolution, and biofeedback/neurofeedback treatments to adults of all ages.  She also provides biofeedback/neurofeedback treatment to older children and adolescents and will consider this on an individual basis.

Dr. Billiot received her undergraduate training at Florida State University and a Masters of Arts in Psychology at the University of West Florida, Pensacola. An honors graduate of Florida Institute of Technology, Dr. Billiot was awarded a Doctorate of Psychology in 2002 and has over 14 years of experience in psychological evaluation and treatment.

Following graduation from FIT, Dr. Billiot moved to Yokosuka, Japan where she worked at the Navy Hospital as a Lieutenant. She served in the Mental Health Department prior to heading the Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Program which served the 7th Fleet and shore-based commands throughout Japan.

After being honorably discharged from service and receiving a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, Dr. Billiot returned to the Ormond Beach area to work with her father, Dr. George Lindenfeld, in his private practice of 20 years.  In 2006, Dr. Billiot founded the Medical Psychology Center, P.A. in the spirit of continuing Dr. Lindenfeld’s tradition of providing compassionate, professional, and effective treatment interventions and evaluation.

Dr. Billiot is currently studying physiology- and neurologically-based treatment interventions for emotional problems. These include EMDR, trauma RESET Therapy with BAUD, home practice with portable biofeedback devices,  biofeedback/neurofeedback for mindfulness, performance improvement, and panic attacks.  Her recent research study on the subject of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and PTSD with RESET/BAUD was recently published and she continues to be amazed at this powerful treatment tool.

Nancy Voight, Ph.D. ABPP

Board Certified in Clinical Neuropsychology

"My commitment is to help identify an individual’s strengths and weaknesses in memory, attention, language, spatial reasoning, learning, and interpersonal relationships. As with all neurological, mental, and medical problems, early identification, early intervention, and excellent management skills are key to optimal functioning. I enjoy working with people and to maximize their safety, health, happiness and productivity. I respect the time commitment needed to undergo neuropsychological assessment. Patient comfort and privacy are a high priority for me."

Medical Psychology Center is pleased to have such a compassionate and brilliant board certified neuropsychologist and clinician. Dr. Voight provides neuropsychological and psychological assessment with adults of all ages and children as well.

After receiving her undergraduate degree from Wittenberg University, Ohio, Dr. Voight obtained a Master’s from Ball State University, Indiana and a doctorate from Michigan State University. Her internship was with the Ingham County Juvenile and Probate Court in Lansing, Michigan. Dr. Voight worked for 6 years with mentally ill, adult, convicted felons while maintaining a separate practice with childhood learning disabilities and ADHD.

Dr. Voight’s postdoctoral studies in neuropsychology were with Dr. Allan Mirksy, Chief of Neuropsychology and Neuroscience at the National Institutes of Mental Health. Dr. Voight taught in the doctoral program at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and chaired the Psychology Department at Lake Superior State University, Michigan. She then taught for 11 years at the Greenwood Family Medicine Center in South Carolina, while chairing psychology and neuropsychology at Self Regional Healthcare. Dr. Voight completed a postdoctoral master’s degree in clinical psychopharmacology while in South Carolina.

Dr. Voight is board certified and is the most experienced FAA neuropsychologist in central and north Florida. She has worked with hundreds of pilots and air traffic controllers pursuing medical certification when neuropsychological, ADHD, substance abuse, or psychological issues require FAA Medical to have reliable data.

Dr. Voight’s opinions have been highly valued by FAA Medical Department, and she has been asked to present at the annual Aerospace Psychology meeting. If applicants cannot qualify after the examination, she helps guide them through a remediation program that increases their chances of meeting FAA criteria in the future.

Michael Hoffman, Ph.D., NCSP

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Nationally Certified School Psychologist, I feel strongly that an essential element for any counseling intervention is patient comfort and trust.  Especially with children, I believe that developing new skills and working through emotional difficulties is more effective when the process is fun and comfortable.

I promote the use of data-driven and evidenced-based practices to improve social behaviors and academic performance, but I am also mindful of the unique nature of each and every patient I treat.  My treatment plans are tailored to the individual needs and pace of my patients.  I use Behavioral, Parent-Child Interaction, Cognitive Behavioral, and Strategic Systems approaches to help people learn to modify behaviors in ways that are more adaptive and satisfying. 

One of my primary clinical interests is sleep, the quality of which has significant implications for social behavior, cognition, and physical health.  I am passionate about identifying Specific Learning and Developmental difficulties among children, adolescents, and adults, because this leads to targeted treatment programs.  With assessment comes the knowledge of strengths to build on, and weaknesses to specifically address in home, employment, and academic settings.  I specifically enjoy working with individuals (age 3 years +) who have Neurodevelopmental Disorders (Autism, ADHD, Language Impairments, and Learning Disorders), and impulsive or socially disruptive behaviors.  

In the early 1990s, Dr. Hoffman spent six years as a Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Technician, and four of these were on active duty in the United States Air Force.  After his Honorable Discharge in 1995, Dr. Hoffman spent 15 years as a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist (Sleep Technologist).  He was proud to become a Certified Clinical Sleep Educator in September of 2012.  Dr. Hoffman completed a Clinical Psychology Internship at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center at Baylor/Scott & White Healthcare in June of 2014.  In May 2014, he earned his Ph.D. in Educational Psychology with an emphasis on School Psychology from Oklahoma State University.  His clinical internship provided him with experience interacting with children and adolescents with developmental, psychiatric, and behavioral disorders, and with adults with life changing medical difficulties.  

Dr. Hoffman has conducted research into play therapy for children with Autism, curriculum-based assessments for early mathematic skills, and the benefit of psychologic assessment for individuals who have dorsal column stimulators placed for chronic back pain.  He taught Lifespan Human Development and Models of Effective Helping for four years at the University level.

In 2014, Dr. Hoffman accepted a position as a Doctoral level School Psychologist within the Flagler County School system, and worked at Rymfire Elementary from August 2014 to March 2017, and Matanzas High School from August 2014 to May 2015.  He served on the district crisis team, and provided crisis counseling (i.e. grief counseling after deaths or accidents, and crisis counseling after natural disasters) to students.  From May 2015 to February 2017, Dr. Hoffman completed his postdoctoral training under Dr. Nancy Voight, a Board Certified Neuropsychologist, at the Medical Psychology Center.  In May 2017, Dr. Hoffman officially joined the staff at the Medical Psychology Center.  He also works with an organization that provides behavioral health services in rehabilitation and long-term care facilities. 

Lana Brown, MA, NCC, LMHC

"As a Licensed Mental Health counselor with specialized training, my therapeutic approach is optimistic, eclectic, and holistic. My goal is to use whatever techniques are appropriate for the client. I view mental health as part of the balance or imbalance of the individual, and I believe that a person's spiritual beliefs (with no bias) are easily integrated into the healing process. I am committed to a lifelong learning process and believe that as a mental health provider I can learn from each client I see, as well as from other professionals. I eagerly seek information about current counseling techniques and am willing to incorporate them with clients as they are applicable.  Some of my favorite approaches are hypnosis and relaxation therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychoeducation for empowerment, and positive thinking strategies."

Lana Brown is a nationally certified counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida. Lana began working with crisis and trauma clients over 30 years ago and has continued to develop specialty skills in treating the psychological aspects of trauma.  Lana is skilled in hypnosis and has pursued extensive training with the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH).
