Effective ADHD Therapy in Walled Lake, MI, for Adults & Kids

Neuromodulation has shown a lot of promise when it comes to managing ADHD symptoms. Research and large-scale studies indicate significant improvements in attention and impulse control, with moderate effects on hyperactivity. In many cases, results can be just as strong as those seen with stimulant medications like methylphenidate, especially when using well-established protocols.

At The Center for Integrative Psychology, we use QEEG-guided neurotherapy to deliver targeted stimulation in brain areas associated with focus and self-control. Many clients continue to experience meaningful improvements long after their treatment is complete, including enhanced academic performance—particularly in reading and writing.

Neurotherapy may be an excellent option for individuals seeking an alternative to medication or a way to enhance their existing approach. At our Walled Lake Office, we utilize QEEG brain mapping to create customized plans for children, teens, and adults. It's especially helpful for people dealing with attention issues, distractibility, or trouble managing emotions.

Treatment can stand alone or be combined with ADHD behavioral therapy or medication, depending on what works best. Sessions evolve as you make progress, so your plan grows with you.

If you're interested in a brain-based, non-invasive method to enhance focus and behavior, neurotherapy provides a data-driven, clinically supported approach.

Yes, it's common for people with ADHD to also deal with anxiety, poor sleep, or long-term stress, and all of those can make symptoms more complicated to manage. That's why we take a whole-person approach to treatment here at The Center for Integrative Psychology. By combining neuromodulation with personalized behavioral strategies, we can often improve not only attention but also emotional balance, sleep quality, and overall resilience.

Our ADHD treatment plans are designed with both core symptoms and related concerns in mind, so we can support real-life changes that go beyond symptom checklists. It's about helping you or your child feel better across the board, not just in one area.

The term ADD was once used to describe individuals who had trouble focusing but didn't display hyperactivity. Today, that label is outdated. The official diagnosis is now ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), a broader term that includes several distinct presentations but shares the exact neurological cause.

These are categorized based on the primary symptoms a person experiences:

• Predominantly Inattentive Presentation: Difficulty focusing, frequent forgetfulness, disorganization, and daydreaming
• Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation: Excessive movement, restlessness, and impulsive actions or speech
• Combined Presentation: A combination of inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms

The Center for Integrative Psychology evaluates each individual's unique symptom profile to guide personalized care. While "ADD" is still used in casual conversation, clinicians now diagnose all forms under the ADHD umbrella, with a specified presentation.

Diagnosing ADHD starts with a thoughtful, well-rounded evaluation. At our office, we take the time to understand each client's unique experiences, including their attention patterns, emotional responses, and daily challenges.

The diagnosis process includes rating scales, symptom checklists, and input from parents, teachers, or close family members. We also utilize QEEG brain mapping to examine patterns that may be associated with issues related to focus or impulse control.

A licensed psychologist then carefully reviews all this information to determine if ADHD is present and to explore other possible causes. By combining clinical insight with real-life observations, we can build a clear picture and create a plan that fits your needs.

We provide individualized, evidence-based care plans for adults, children, and adolescents.

For adults, treatment targets work performance, task initiation, planning, and follow-through. Sessions often pair QEEG-guided neuromodulation with coaching to enhance executive skills, improve time management, and promote daily routines.

For children with ADHD, the focus shifts by stage. For children ages 6--11, we emphasize family participation, teacher collaboration, age-appropriate neurofeedback, and simple systems for morning, homework, and bedtime routines.

Around age 12 and into the teenage years, gradually broaden to focus on independence, including handling multiple classes, using planners and lockers, reducing digital distractions, organizing long-term assignments, and improving sleep and emotional regulation.

Neuromodulation protocols and skills coaching are tailored to meet individual developmental needs, ensuring gains are sustained in both home and school settings, as well as in daily activities.

Most clients notice early improvements in focus and follow-through within a few weeks. Early changes often include easier task initiation, smoother transitions, and more consistent routines at home, in class, and at work. The individual naturally begins to implement change as they experience more success in their lives. Patient progress is measured by monitoring patient goals, symptom rating scales, and achieving practical milestones, such as completing assignments on time, improved sequencing, and better morning or homework flow.

Neuromodulation sessions are paired with simple habit strategies to support carryover between visits. As gains accumulate, we refine protocols and therapeutic priorities to ensure results are sustainable. Near the end, we review what worked and outline the following steps to help maintain momentum.
