ADHD & ADD Therapy in Colorado Springs
Neurotherapy: Rewiring the Brain for Better Focus
Am integrative approach is highly effective for ADD and ADHD because it addresses the condition from multiple angles, targeting the root causes rather than just managing symptoms. By combining neurofeedback, talk therapy, nutrition, and lifestyle changes, our approach promotes overall brain health and helps individuals develop sustainable habits and coping strategies.
This comprehensive care leads to more effective and lasting improvements in focus, behavior, and emotional well-being, offering a more complete solution than traditional methods alone.
Neurotherapy, particularly neurofeedback, is at the heart of our treatment approach. Neurofeedback is a non-invasive technique that helps individuals train their brains to function more efficiently. By monitoring brain wave activity and providing real-time feedback, neurofeedback allows clients to gain control over their brain’s activity, promoting better focus, reduced impulsivity, and improved emotional regulation.
At Neurotherapy of Colorado Springs, we use state-of-the-art neurofeedback systems that are tailored to each individual’s unique brain patterns. Through regular sessions, clients can experience lasting changes in their brain function, leading to significant improvements in their ability to concentrate and manage ADHD symptoms. Our expert team closely monitors progress, adjusting the treatment plan as needed to ensure the best possible outcomes.
While neurofeedback addresses the neurological aspect of ADHD and ADD, talk therapy plays a crucial role in helping individuals develop the skills and strategies needed to thrive in daily life. Our therapists work one-on-one with clients to explore the emotional and psychological challenges associated with ADHD, such as low self-esteem, anxiety, and difficulty with relationships.
Through cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches, we help clients identify negative thought patterns, develop coping strategies, and build the executive functioning skills necessary for success. Talk therapy sessions are designed to empower individuals, helping them better understand their condition and equipping them with the tools to manage their symptoms effectively.
At Neurotherapy of Colorado Springs, we recognize that nutrition and lifestyle choices play a significant role in brain health, especially for individuals with ADHD and ADD. Proper nutrition can have a profound impact on cognitive function, mood, and energy levels, all of which are critical for managing ADHD symptoms.
We provide personalized guidance on dietary choices that support brain health, emphasizing the importance of balanced meals, omega-3 fatty acids, and other nutrients that enhance cognitive function. Additionally, we offer advice on lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, adequate sleep, and mindfulness practices, all of which contribute to improved focus and overall well-being.
Our integrative approach to ADHD and ADD treatment ensures that our clients receive comprehensive care that addresses every aspect of their condition. By combining neurofeedback, talk therapy, and lifestyle modifications, Neurotherapy of Colorado Springs is committed to helping individuals with ADHD and ADD lead healthier, more focused lives.

What Causes ADHD and ADD?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD) are complex neurodevelopmental conditions that arise from a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors. Research indicates that ADHD and ADD are largely influenced by genetics, with certain genes affecting the way neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, function in the brain. This can lead to the hallmark symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
In addition to genetic factors, environmental influences, such as prenatal exposure to toxins (like tobacco smoke or alcohol), premature birth, and low birth weight, can increase the risk of developing ADHD and ADD. Brain imaging studies have also shown that individuals with ADHD may have structural differences in certain areas of the brain, particularly those involved in attention and executive function.
Understanding the underlying causes of ADHD and ADD helps inform our treatment approach at Neurotherapy of Colorado Springs. Thankfully, the brain is plastic and can adapt through a number of interventions. By addressing the neurological, psychological, and lifestyle aspects of these conditions, we offer a comprehensive path to better brain health and symptom management.
Patient Testimonial
We consider a huge blessing that we found out about Neurotherapy of Colorado Springs when we did. Chris Edwards and his lovely staff have changed our family…one brain at a time. We heard through a trusted friend about neurotherapy when our high school son was struggling with learning difficulties.
After private tutoring and vision therapy, we sought help from NCS and saw the most dramatic improvement in our son’s achievement, personally and academically. Chris was able to help our son minimize the effects ADHD and speed of processing issues and inspired him to get his sleep and nutrition optimized. Even now, in his 20s, he says neurotherapy was “hands-down, the single most life-changing thing” he ever did.
Is ADHD and ADD Therapy All About “Trying Harder?”
No, ADHD therapy is not about “trying harder” or simply gaining more willpower. Unfortunately, many people (including teachers, parents, coaches, etc.) don’t understand the neuroscience of attention disorders. They believe that those with ADHD and ADD are being “disobedient” or “unintelligent.” This isn’t true, but it leads to common myths about treatment.
At Neurotherapy of Colorado Springs, our therapies focus on retraining the brain and creating healthy habits that can actually change brain structures. Through neurofeedback, we help your brain function more effectively while our talk therapy and health coaching sessions guide you in building strategies that support long-term success. This approach goes beyond willpower, addressing the root of ADHD symptoms to create lasting improvements in focus, behavior, and overall brain health.
