Ready To Focus

Next generation treatments that will change your life forever

It is very clear that many people who access behavioral healthcare services for treatment are disappointed with the approach. The Ready to Focus Program was designed to provide a comprehensive intervention package that truly addresses the issues at hand and provides measurable results for improvement. In this day and age many behavioral healthcare interventions revolve first and only around the use of psychotropic medications. While these medications can be very helpful in certain situations, they should be used as a last resort after all other interventions have been attempted. Fortunately, the interventions used in the Ready to Focus Program leads to an 80% success rate in addressing the issues without the use of medication. In addition, those taking medications will likely be able to reduce or eliminate them utilizing this program! 

Interventions included in the Ready to Focus Program:

Home Based Biofeedback Neurofeedback:  Biofeedback and Neurofeedback have been developed and researched since the 1960’s, but with advances in technology are now available for mainstream use in office and home settings. It may be an intervention with which you are unfamiliar, so we have provided links to articles that explain the process and research articles that show it’s effectiveness. The Ready To Focus team will set up the equipment in your home (no matter where you reside), fully train you to use it, monitor and direct your sessions, and completely direct treatment. Since a psychologist is best suited to direct this treatment, you will receive the initial consultation and weekly sessions directly from a psychologist and the program will directly measure progress in an objective manner. Neurofeedback is a next-generation behavioral healthcare intervention with established research to support its effectiveness.

Sleep Dysregulation assessment and treatment:  Our chief clinician, Brad Oostindie, has worked as a pediatric psychologist at the DeVos Children’s Hospital. During that time he developed a behavioral healthcare component to the pediatric sleep disorder clinic. Too often sleep disturbances either cause or are the result of behavioral healthcare issues and require intervention. Use of sleep medicines are very high, have their unintended consequences, and should be avoided as much as possible especially for long-term use.State of the art techniques will be utilized to address this area.

Behavioral:  Cognitive and behavioral interventions can improve a situation up to 70-80% of the time. Brad Oostindie will draw upon his years of experience and specialized training and will assist you with positively changing unhelpful thought and behavioral patterns that limit you or your child’s success!

Nutrition:  More and more nutritional interventions are proving themselves successful as an adjunct to other therapies in addressing behavioral healthcare issues. Ready To Focus partners with successful companies that have mainstream products that help.  We have partnered with Organo Gold (http://www.readytofocus.organogold.com), which is a company that produces affordable, good tasting, and healthy products such as coffee and hot chocolate that contain Ganoderma (known as the “King of Herbs” in Asia for the past 5000 years!).  Ganoderma is widely known to improve focus, reduce stress, provide health benefits, and improve sleep.  Organo Gold is new to the United States - and the company is growing at a faster rate than Starbucks did when it started!  Click below for information on ganoderma.

Collaboration:  Too often behavioral healthcare providers work in isolation, not including an individual’s primary physician or pediatric in care, not assisting in educating their educators or teachers on what is going on, and not fully explaining to everyone who needs to know what the assessment and plan truly is.
