Empowering Students to Achieve Their Dreams
At Health Psychology & ADHD Institute, we are dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive mental health services to individuals of all ages. Our experienced team, led by Patricia R. Williams, LCSW, M.A., has been serving the Kalamazoo community since 1982. We specialize in innovative, research-based approaches to mental health care, including neurofeedback, biofeedback, and psychotherapy.
Our Approach
Our approach is centered around the understanding that each individual is unique, with complex needs and challenges. We believe that traditional talk therapy is often not enough, and that's why we integrate innovative, evidence-based modalities like neurofeedback and biofeedback to enhance our clients' experiences. These painless, non-invasive techniques allow us to target specific areas of the brain, addressing ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns.
Our Services
Our comprehensive services include counseling, psychotherapy, mental health assessments, biofeedback, neurofeedback, and qEEG brain mapping. We also offer specialized programs for ADHD, learning disabilities, anxiety, autism, and more. Our team is dedicated to creating personalized treatment plans that cater to each client's distinct needs and goals.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a safe, supportive environment where individuals can explore their challenges and achieve lasting change. We believe that every person has the potential to thrive, and we're committed to helping our clients unlock their full potential. By combining traditional therapy with cutting-edge technologies, we empower individuals to take control of their mental health and well-being.
Our Legacy
Founded by Dr. Richard R. Williams, PhD, our institute has been a beacon of hope for thousands of individuals and families. Today, we continue to build on his legacy, driven by a passion for innovation, compassion, and excellence.
