About the Program

When your child's behavior, attention, or mood is affecting daily life, there are answers.

The Whole Child Attention & Behavior Program is for children ages 4–10 with ADHD, anxiety, OCD, PANS/PANDAS, and complex behavior challenges. No formal diagnosis is required to apply.


We combine functional and integrative pediatric medicine with expert parent training and individual child counseling. Three disciplines working together under one coordinated plan. We go beyond symptom management to identify and treat the underlying medical factors that affect how your child feels, focuses, and functions.

Partial treatment produces partial results.
Whole-child care produces whole-family change.

By addressing the medical, behavioral, and emotional factors that influence your child's development, this program creates a comprehensive foundation for meaningful progress at home, at school, and in everyday life.

How It Works

Three disciplines.
One coordinated plan.

Both specialists meet weekly, coordinate directly, and deliver a single written plan. Because what is happening in your child's body, at home, and in their inner world are all deeply connected.

🔬

Precision Medicine

Comprehensive evaluation of your child including physical exam and lab evaluation so that we can tailor a plan to what is relevant for your child's specific biology. Dr. Ashley interprets every result and creates a personalized medical treatment protocol for your child. This is not a one-size-fits-all plan.

Parent Training

Weekly in-person small group sessions with families who understand what you are experiencing. Building skills, reducing daily struggles, and creating calmer, more predictable days at home.

Child Counseling

Every child in this program receives weekly individual counseling sessions with Ms. Allison. Sessions address emotional regulation, social skills, executive function, and behavior so that your child can build the skills they need to feel calmer, connect with others, and succeed at home and at school.

Common Questions

What families ask
before applying.

This is not a coaching program. It is direct medical care combined with evidence-based in-person parent training and licensed child counseling, delivered simultaneously by two specialists who coordinate weekly and produce one written plan for your family.

Dr. Ashley provides hands-on precision medicine with lab interpretation, individualized treatment protocols, and weekly clinical oversight. Ms. Allison delivers evidence-based parent training and provides weekly individual counseling sessions for your child. Most programs offer advice or general guidance. We provide actual clinical treatment across three disciplines at the same time, so that your child's biology, behavior, and daily life are addressed together rather than in isolation. Partial treatment produces partial results.

No. This program is designed for children whose attention, behavior, or mood is affecting daily life at home, at school, or with friends. If your child's challenges are significant and you are ready to find answers, no formal diagnosis is required to apply.

This is a private, physician-led program that operates outside of traditional insurance to provide the highest level of personalized, coordinated care without limitations on visit frequency or treatment decisions.

We can provide a statement of services for potential out-of-network reimbursement, and we encourage you to check with your insurance provider about your specific plan. Some labs are covered by insurance. Those that are not are included in the program.

Dr. Ashley is a practicing pediatric consultant and Ms. Allison is a licensed clinical social worker. Both practice under their Georgia licenses. The in-person parent group sessions are a core component of the program and require geographic proximity. This is what allows us to provide the level of hands-on, coordinated care that makes this program work.

We work alongside your child's primary pediatrician and existing therapies, including occupational therapy, speech therapy, and any other services your child currently receives. Dr. Ashley adds the functional and integrative precision medicine layer that coordinates and informs without disrupting the care your pediatrician and therapists already provide. Ms. Allison communicates directly with your child's school, day care, and other providers so the plan carries into every part of your child's day.

Results vary by child, but families typically see improvement in daily behavior, emotional regulation, sleep, and family stress within the first several weeks of the program. Because we address underlying biology alongside behavior, changes tend to be meaningful and lasting. Our goal is for your child to feel better, function better, and for your family to feel more connected and less overwhelmed.

Dr. Ashley works as a functional and integrative medicine pediatric consultant in conjunction with your child's current health care team. She is not a replacement for your primary care pediatrician. All new patients are required to have a current primary care pediatrician to cover emergencies and routine care and screening.

This program is well suited for families who are ready to go beyond symptom management and want to understand what is actually driving their child's challenges. Families who do best are committed to the process, open to a functional and integrative approach, and motivated to implement changes at home. If you have pursued other approaches and feel that something important is still missing, this program was designed with your family in mind.
