Dr. Douglas Cowan is the author and clinical director of the ADHD Information Library at Newideas.net and now ADHD.Newideas.net. Over 1,000,000 parents and teachers have visited the ADHD Information Library through the years, and we are happy to have you here today!  Dr. Cowan is a licensed therapist in Arizona, California, and Oregon and provides all of his counseling and ADHD coaching services online from the comfort of your home or office.

We are not afraid of or opposed to the proper use of medications in the treatment of ADHD or related conditions such as anxiety, but we also see the great value and benefits from other "alternative" treatments. Choosing carefully what you eat or drink is a great place to begin. And also consider the CalmWaves CES CalmBox, LifeWave X39 patches, starting Neurofeedback treatments, and so much more that we discuss here.

Be sure to try out the ADHD Quiz. It takes about ten minutes but is a very good "clinical" tool, though we are not offering medical services or advice here. But it is based on some of the  tools that we use in a clinical setting (such as the Creyos Brain Assessments). It's good and worth your time.

Always available to answer questions or provide counseling services, you can connect with Dr. Cowan through his PsychologyToday profile anytime.
