ADHD symptoms often change with age. While hyperactivity usually decreases in adulthood, it often shifts into restlessness or anxiety. Adults may no longer display physical hyperactivity, but instead struggle with internal restlessness or anxiety. Focus, impulsivity, and emotional regulation challenges can persist, but many adults learn to manage their symptoms.
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive therapy that trains the brain to function more efficiently. It involves monitoring brainwave activity in real-time and providing feedback to help the brain self-regulate. For individuals with ADHD, neurofeedback can improve focus, impulse control, and emotional regulation by helping the brain develop healthier patterns of activity.
Primitive reflexes are automatic movements that typically fade in infancy as the brain matures. When these reflexes are retained, it indicates that the brain hasn’t fully developed its foundational connections. Retained primitive reflexes can interfere with focus, coordination, and impulse control, contributing to ADHD symptoms. By integrating these reflexes, we help strengthen the brain’s neurological foundation, improving attention and behavior.
- Laser therapy, which stimulates brain cells and promotes better neurological communication, helping with focus and cognitive function.
- Interactive Metronome, a therapy that enhances timing, coordination, and attention by synchronizing the brain’s timing circuits, improving both cognitive and motor skills.
- Sensory-motor exercises, often incorporating video games, are designed to engage and integrate sensory input while improving motor function. By using interactive and engaging activities, such as video games, we strengthen the brain's foundation for attention, impulse control, and emotional regulation. These exercises help improve coordination and cognitive function in a fun, dynamic way that keeps children and adults engaged while promoting neurological development.
- Vestibular therapy, which focuses on improving the brain-body connection through balance and spatial orientation exercises. This therapy reduces anxiety and helps regulate the nervous system, creating a more stable foundation for attention and emotional control.
- Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), a non-invasive technique that helps modulate brain activity, promoting better focus, self-control, and overall brain function.
Our goal is to provide a holistic, drug-free approach to managing ADHD by addressing the underlying causes of the condition. Many children and adults who go through our programs experience significant improvements, which can reduce or, in some cases, eliminate the need for medication. However, we always recommend working with your healthcare provider when making decisions about medication.
Yes, our treatments are effective for both children and adults with ADHD. While the brain continues to develop through childhood, adults with ADHD can also benefit from therapies that target brain balance and regulation, improving focus, emotional control, and daily functioning.
The time frame for seeing results varies depending on the individual and the severity of their ADHD symptoms. Many people begin to notice improvements within a few weeks to a few months, though consistent therapy is often required for long-term benefits. Our comprehensive evaluation helps tailor the program to each person’s unique needs, optimizing the time to see results.
Parents play a crucial role in their child’s ADHD treatment. We actively involve parents by educating them about their child’s progress, providing at-home activities, and encouraging them to create supportive environments for their child’s growth. The more involved parents are, the better the overall outcomes tend to be.
Our office is conveniently located in Wheat Ridge and we serve patients from the Denver metro including Arvada, Lakewood, Golden, Denver, highlands ranch and castle rock
