Our mission is to help improve the lives of children, teens, adults, and families struggling with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and related executive functioning challenges.  We achieve this goal by providing the following research-based services.

• Student Success is a structured cognitive-behavioral approach designed to help students of all ages ”learn how to learn”  and ultimately learn how to solve everyday challenges involving inattention, time mismanagement, procrastination, disorganization, and other executive functioning difficulties.

• Counseling helps families, children, teens, and college students struggling with anxiety, depression, ineffective coping skills, poor stress management, social skill problems, and poor self-esteem.

• STOP-THINK-GO for Impulsivity is a structured cognitive-behavioral approach designed to help children and teens improve their impulse control in multiple situations including at home, in the classroom, on the playground, and at parties.

• Parenting Success provides families a research proven set of skills that can lead to less stress and more harmony within the family.

Our History

While attending a conference in Seattle Washington during 2008, Dr. Monte Davenport heard educators and researchers from the Brain and Behavior Center of Toronto talking about the life, language, and learning struggles of children, teens, and adults with ADHD and related executive functioning challenges.  After returning to Dallas-Fort Worth, he continued to study the research of Drs. Rosemary Tannock, Russell A. Barkley, Peg Dawson, Joyce Cooper-Kahn, Mary V. Solanto, and Lynn Meltzer.  Their research clearly showed that these executive functioning needs could be improved through a combination of structured teaching, cognitive behavior therapy, flexible accommodations, and collaboration with the family, physicians, and educators.

In August 2009, Monte started writing a blog, outlining ways parents and teachers could implement a flexibly structured approach to help solve the challenges of children and teens struggling with executive functions.  Combining the terms flexibility and structure, he coined the term “Flexiture for ADHD and Executive Functions.”

After recognizing the huge need for such research-based services in the DFW metroplex, the vision for Life Solutions of Dallas-Fort Worth was born.

In August 2010, Monte and his wife, Kay Lynn, opened Dallas-Fort Worth’s first center dedicated to using research based techniques to address the needs of children, teens, adults, and families struggling with executive functions and related disorders. As Life Solutions of Dallas-Fort Worth has continued to expand to serve clients from throughout Texas, our strategic alignments include numerous physicians, mental health professionals, assessment specialists, speech-language pathologists, as well as, private and public school educators.

Our reach has continued to expand through our blog articles.  To date, our blogs have had over 200,000 visitors from all parts of the world including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Philippines, India, New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore, Israel, and United Arab Emirates.
