Treatment with Medication or Without Medication

Parents struggle with these questions every day. Whichever one you choose, we have an adjunct alternative for your consideration. Since the ability to focus and concentrate on one thing at a time is one of the primary issues for a child with ADD/ADHD, we developed an ADD/ADHD Program around teaching your child to approach tasks with focus and concentration. The Program revolves around the use of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Psychology) and Hypnosis.

NLP is the use of language to effect changes in behavior. Hypnosis is focused attention and relaxation. It allows the unconscious mind to absorb suggestions for changes in behavior.

Philly Hypnosis ADD/ADHD Program

This is a new Pediatric Behavioral Program based on years of experience in Neuro Linguistic Psychology (NLP) and Hypnosis addressing the behavioral issues of childhood including the complexities of ADD/ADHD.

We designed this program for the busy, sometimes over-extended parent. There are no appointments to keep, no waiting rooms, no sessions that take up your valuable time, and no drives to our offices. This is an “At Home” Program, which allows you to take positive steps towards helping your child to focus, to concentrate and to feel calm.

Coming Very Soon

To discover if this program is right for you and your child, you will be able to watch our introductory video and listen to a sample of an audio recording designed to be used when your child is not sleeping and an audio recording designed to be used when your child is ready for bed. You get to choose whether a male voice or a female voice would be more effective for your child.

In addition to a Generalized Program, there will be a Specialized Program designed for your child and their specific needs. It is personalized for your child using their name along with specifics about them (based on a questionnaire, which you complete on line and return to us on line).

Adult programs are also available.

We welcome your opinions and suggestions.
