POPULARITY
Dr. Connie McReynolds, PhD has caused quite the stir in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, and counseling as she has approached the ADHD and ADD diagnoses much differently than most practitioners. Rather than debating the nuances of "does someone HAVE ADHD or not", Dr. Connie has researched and utilized sophisticated Neurofeedback Assessments that differentiate multiple different issues that could be contributing to the largest gestalt (or diagnosis of ADHD): Including multiple tiers of auditory processing disorders, visual processing disorders, general learning disorders, differential medical diagnoses, environmental factors, and overlapping clinical psychological diagnoses. If this sounds intriguing, this is an episode you need to hear and she has written a book that I would recommend reading. Dr. Connie McReynolds, PhD and her team have fearlessly pushed forward into researching the nuances of all types of people tagged with the label "ADHD/ ADD." In going deeper, with their neuropsychological assessments and sophisticated proprietary and targeted neurofeedback treatments, they have discovered that there are a myriad of issues that are contributing to what your average clinician may conclude is ADHD (referencing the DSM or ICD codes). Not only have they been able to figure out the etiology of the symptoms that are contributing to the clinical picture / diagnosis--they have worked on treating these symptoms WITHOUT medications or minimal medications, and also with minimal therapy (unless called for from a crossover of other behavioral, environmental, or psychological factors). Dr. Connie McReynolds' team have had incredible results from only 20 thirty minute targeted neurofeedback subjects who are coming in with a range of ADHD-related symptoms. And 6 and 12 month follow up assessments and subjective reports are just as stunning! However, the idea that you can actually reduce ADHD symptoms for the long-term without extensive medications and behavioral therapies goes against the status quo of most practitioners in the United States. Thus, this has not yet been popularized. It also doesn't cost that much money and the treatment is not life-long, so thus it has not yet been picked up by the typical profiteers. The best news is that the data speaks for itself. From multiple published articles to the examples in Dr. Connie McReynold's book, there is hope for those that suffer from ADHD, auditory processing issues, visual processing disorders, and related issues.

I am excited to have Bryan finally on the podcast. He was one of our highly insightful guests in our Virtual Alumni Panel Series. I learned about his plans to attend the UIUC Psych program since middle school! This level of planning and preparation spilled into his other career choices, including acquiring a PsyD as opposed to a more traditional PhD route and his selection of Rehabilitation Psychology as a focus. Per usual, we do go a bit off-topic and hit the Thanksgiving table while sporting the most formal mullet. If any current students are curious about any of the topics we discussed today, Dr. Kolberg has made himself available to chat via email BryanKolbergPsyD@gmail.com.
Therapy Thursday!!What if everything you thought you knew about ADHD was just the tip of the iceberg? Join us as we explore this question with Dr. Connie McReynolds, a seasoned expert in rehabilitation psychology. The deep dive into the complex world of ADHD diagnosis and treatment starts with a riveting discussion on dyslexia and its fascinating link to ADHD. We then touch upon the critical connection between auditory and visual processing problems and various learning disabilities, laying the groundwork for an enlightening discussion on neurofeedback. We further tackle the increasing trend of ADHD diagnosis in children, and the role trauma triggers may play in their behavior. We share our experiences working with veterans and children who have undergone trauma, emphasizing the importance of addressing underlying issues rather than hastily labeling them as ADHD. The discussion then takes a turn towards the challenges parents face when deciding between medication and alternate methods like neurofeedback for their child's ADHD treatment. As we wrap up this eye-opening conversation with Dr. McReynolds, we delve into her pioneering work in neurofeedback and the impressive long-term cognitive improvements it can bring about. We highlight the significance of understanding and addressing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), trauma, and their connection to ADHD. Ultimately, we advocate for a personalized and comprehensive approach to healing and strengthening the brain. Tune in for an engaging and insightful discussion that aims to change the narrative surrounding ADHD and promote a more understanding and compassionate approach to this complex condition.

Mike is a former National Hockey League player and was part of the 1994 Stanley Cup Championship team New York Rangers.

Mike has worked in the performance coaching and personal development business for 18 years. He has worked with a variety of groups from Fortune 500 companies, small to medium size businesses, world class athletes, amateur athletes and weekend warriors. I'm Dr. Jason Wong, PT, DPT, NBC-HWC. My passion in life is sharing knowledge to empower athletes to live a pain-free life. What draws me down this path is the concept of change, after feeling stuck for many years, and learning the process and cultivating change in myself.As a 14+ year practicing doctor of physical therapy, my breadth of knowledge and experience spans from working with the Chinese National Gymnastics team gold medalist to your friend's grandmother in the hospital. These experiences have taught me 3 lessons: a deeper integration with how the body moves and functions through the lens of physics, the skillset to aid healing at the physical and emotional intersect, and the capacity for change in the body must align with one's values.After practicing traditional medicine for 10+ years, I've chosen a new direction of healing: empowering the ask (question), be curious about healing (and everything else), and discovering the strategies and skillset to self heal.Jason studied at the University of Wisconsin - Madison in Rehabilitation Psychology, followed by his Doctor of Physical Therapy at University of Southern California.Jason Wong, DPT, NBC-HWCDoctor of Physical TherapyNational Board Certified Health and Wellness Coachjason@wongcoaching.com

Dr. Caitlyn Arutiunov’s research focuses on identifying barriers to the neurorehabilitation process within an outpatient neurorehabilitation population, including factors such as psychosocial, environmental, institutional, and attitudinal barriers to treatment. The goal of this research is to document these barriers to treatment to aid in improving overall quality of care for neurorehabilitation patients. In addition to conducting research, she provides psychotherapy, cognitive remediation, and group therapy on an outpatient basis to neurorehabilitation patients at Rusk. She completed her doctoral internship at Rusk. She received her Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University, where she completed her dissertation on "The Ethics of Publicly Diagnosing Public Figures with Mental Disorders." In the interview, they discuss kinds of treatment for patients with a coronavirus infection; how such treatment might differ from typical treatment protocols; what a workday is like treating patients by telehealth; if interaction with patients differs compared to treating them directly in a clinical setting, and if so, in what ways; how telehealth group work and cognitive remediation present more challenges and require some creative solutions on the part of clinicians; whether the type of mental health condition aids in the determination of whether treatment on a one-to-one or group therapy basis is more appropriate; whether psychological services are being provided for other health personnel treating coronavirus patients in the clinical setting and for what kinds of mental health challenges; psychological studies it may be worth launching in order to enhance the mental health care of patients who will be treated in the future; and based on personal experiences working with coronavirus patients, what could be worth incorporating in psychology education programs?
