We maximize attention across your life!
ADD/ADHD and A.T.E. Syndrome (Attentional Weaknesses, Temperamental Dysregulations, and Executive Dysfunctions) affect life in almost every imaginable way –touching our confidence, our relationships, our performance, our health, and our future. The Being Well Center's Phases to Success and proprietary FACES™ Attention Test equip individuals and families with the tools, resources, and knowledge to thrive with ADD and A.T.E.

BWC Phases to Success
The Being Well Center has created a Three Phase Program to equip individuals and families with the tools, resources, and knowledge to thrive with ADD/ADHD and A.T.E. Syndrome (Attentional Weaknesses, Temperamental Dysregulations, and Executive Dysfunctions).
EXPLORE YOUR CORE
Explore Your Core of Attentional Weaknesses, Temperamental Dysregulations, and Executive Dysfunctions with a brief visit including a questionnaire, FACES™ Attention Test, and wrap-up interview to determine the effectiveness of your current diagnosis and medication.
INTEGRATE THE WHOLE YOU
Integrate The Whole You of possible co-morbidities to complete your unique profile, which may includes probes for your social-emotional profile, academic profile, a neurodevelopmental exam, speech-language evaluation, and/or a physical exam.
FOCUS ON BEING WELL
Focus on Being Well with medication trials and management supported by on-going counseling.
Optimize Medication
The Being Well Center establishes successful medication regimens for more than 90% of our patients. Proper medication allows our patients to take advantage of counseling, tutoring, and other interventions to experience greater success in their lives! Our systematic protocols avoid risks of over-medicating or under-medicating.
The features of our medication protocol include:
- Only use medication when the patient is diagnosed with ADD/ADHD or A.T.E. Syndrome after a thorough evaluation.
- Structured trial testing on the medication is completed before using it on a daily basis.
- Medication titration results in an individually optimized medication regimen.
- The goal should be to provide patients with efficient attention throughout the waking day, every day of the year.
- Patients taking medication are required to participate in regular counseling sessions. Medication is never the sole treatment.
- Patients and their families participate in quarterly review visits to monitor the effectiveness of the medication.
01 Objective Test
The Being Well Center's FACES™ Attention Test is the first objective test for attention. The digital assessment tracks responses to visual problem-solving tasks to identify Attentional Weaknesses, Temperamental Dysregulations, and Executive Dysfunctions.
03 Repeat Testing
The Being Well Center performs repeated FACES™ Attention Tests at regular intervals to ensure individually optimized medication levels remain in place for each individual for the full day.
02 Medication Focus
Most people with ADD/ADHD experiencing problems need medication treatment. Medication enables people to take advantage of therapeutic intervention strategies. Think of medication like eyeglasses helping restore optimal sight!
04 Lifetime Support
Long-term use of medication appears to be very safe when it is prescribed after an accurate diagnosis, taken consistently, and monitored regularly. Untreated ADD/ADHD and A.T.E. Syndrome presents a much greater risk than medication over the long haul!

Attention Across the Lifespan
The Being Well Center believes that human development, behavior, and health are transactional...a result of interactions between the intrinsic characteristics of the individual and the unique events and circumstances of his/her life. These factors are unique for each person. The Being Well Center offers customized programs to life-stages and problems.
College Success: Confidence@College
Struggling students and frustrated parents come to The Being Well Center for our Confidence@College program. C@C addresses the whole person, not just the failing grade or missed expectation. C@C matches students with a BWC Guide, an expert in counseling, medication, education or social performance, who listens carefully to the student's whole story. BWC Guides work with students in-person and continue the relationship on campus virtually.
Weight Management:
TRANSformingU
25% of obese individuals have ADD/ADHD. 40% of morbidly obese individuals have ADD/ADHD. Simple "one size fits all" diet plans and exercises don't work for most people.
The Being Well Center recommends screening all overweight/obese patients to determine if they are at risk for ADD/ADHD. Our TRANSformingU multi-disciplinary team discovers all the factors that interfere with establishing and maintaining a balanced, healthy lifestyle. We provide ongoing support through innovative tracking, reminding, and motivational tools.
