Brain Balance Center of Mequon

Lynn Brittnacher

Owner & Executive Director

With over 25 years of experience working with children facing social, emotional, behavioral, sensory, and developmental challenges, Lynn Brittnacher, M.A., BCCS,  is deeply committed to helping children and families navigate the complexities of developmental difficulties. Giving God the glory for the opportunity to serve others, Lynn’s work is driven by a deep faith and passion for making a lasting, positive impact. As a dual-licensed educator in Elementary/Middle School and Adaptive Education, along with a Master’s Degree in Counseling from Lakeland University.  As a Board-Certified Cognitive Specialist (BCCS), Lynn is dedicated to providing families with the tools, strategies, and support they need to help their children achieve their fullest potential. Lynn brings a unique blend of expertise in education, counseling, and child development.

For seventeen years, Lynn served as a 7th grade Reading and Language teacher, where she worked tirelessly to support students who struggled academically and emotionally. It was during this time that she realized traditional methods often focused on managing symptoms rather than addressing the root causes of children's challenges. This realization led her to seek a more holistic approach to supporting children, one that focused on understanding and addressing the neurological and developmental factors that impact a child’s success.

Lynn along with her husband Jason are the proud owners of two Brain Balance centers: Brain Balance of Fox Valley and Brain Balance of Mequon, and are excited to be opening a third location, Brain Balance of Madison, in 2025.  Lynn is dedicated to providing families with the tools, strategies, and support they need to help their children achieve their God given potential.

Outside of work, Jason’s life revolves around his faith and family, which are his greatest sources of inspiration. Alongside his wife, Lynn, and his five kids, he also enjoys spending time in nature and engaging in hands-on hobbies like gardening, fishing, hunting, and woodworking. These passions reflect his love for creating, nurturing, and connecting with the world around him.

Dedicated and driven by purpose, Jason thrives on making a positive impact in the lives of children and families while staying grounded in the values that guide his journey.
