A TLC some client get have a bad reaction to medications for mental health issues and we have our clients try a holistic approach and in many cases our clients do not need as much medication or may not need it at all. The president of Total Life Counseling Center Jim West has been called the Defiant Teen Whisperer because of his expertise in working with Oppositional Defiant Children and Teens. Often clients have tried many different medication for ADHD or Anxiety or Depression only to have really bad side effects. So Jim has consulted with many doctors over the years and has found ways to tread ADHD, Depression, Anxiety & Mood Disorder with supplements and diet changes.
