Since the clinic’s inception, Mr. Walsh has focused on helping families manage ADHD issues present in children and adults alike. In addition to providing family and individual therapy; in-depth ADHD testing and evaluation; parenting skills workshops; and dietary advice, Mr. Walsh advocates for nutritional supplement therapies to help manage the effects of ADHD symptoms. Mr. Walsh has the condition known as ADHD and is personally familiar with the challenges faced by many of those suffering with the disorder. He found the recommended medications unacceptable and now uses natural products to control the symptoms. Many of his patients do not find that medication works or the side effects are worse than the condition. People are looking for an alternative. Through careful research into natural alternatives
he has arrived at the recommendations found on this site. He uses the
products and discusses natural alternatives with his patients who do not
wish to use drug therapy. The answers he found are his motivation to sponsor this site. Mr. Walsh is devoted to continuous education and research on the subject of ADHD. Michael received his masters degree in 1987 in clinical psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University, Madison NJ.

Mr. Walsh spent a
full year of post graduate study with a noted psychologist to hone his
skills surrounding the treatments available for ADHD. He helped found
