About Dr. Norton
I think one of the reasons I have had so much success in areas where others have failed, is that I don’t make any assumptions about my patients. I recognize that each person presents with a unique history and with a pattern of behaviors that, though part of a symptom complex, are never exactly the same.
I began my career as a Neuropsychologist and Family Therapist. As a neuropsychologist, I specialize in the treatment of ADD, ADHD, and specific learning disabilities. As a family therapist, I treat children, adolescents, parents, and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, personality disturbances, and a plethora of relationship issues.
Over the past 15 years, I have also cultivated an interest in wellness. I have researched the topic extensively, writing no less than 11 books on the topic. The first book Below the Radar: What They're Not Telling You About Your Food – Ingram Publishing was released in June 2023.
The topics covered by the remaining books include GMOs, Cholesterol, Leaky Gut, Sugar and its Lethal Impact, Food Addiction, US Obesity and How It Aging Us, The Benefits of Sunshine, and American Children: An Endangered Species.
I began my practice in 1985 after completing my residency in clinical psychology at Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio. As a neuropsychologist and family systems practitioner, I use a bio-psycho-social model of treatment. I offer psychological assessment, individual, family, and couples’ therapy and wellness coaching for those wishing to reverse the aging process and/or manage their weight. I also offer coaching for food addiction which is currently below the radar in our society and as a result has become an epidemic with disastrous consequences.
So if you or a loved one are suffering from problems with your health, relationships, academic or professional development or if you are experiencing anxiety, depression or emotional distress contact me. Or if you just wish to be healthier and in the process reverse the aging process get in touch. I walk the talk and I can help. I am the weight and wellness pro.
WHY CLEAN EATING?
I do not believe that eating all things in moderation works, especially when so many of our foods contain addictants that are designed to make it impossible to eat the food in moderation. Many individuals are addicted to sugar because they avoid fats and grains and because they need the energy boost that sugar gives them. But this is a slippery slope, as the sugar in the U.S. today is extraordinarily addicting and damaging to the parts of the brain that regulate eating behavior. What often ends up happening when we get hooked on highly palatable foods is that we end up with food addictions that drive overeating and unwanted weight gain.
I can document the role that polluted and addicting foods play in both psychological and medical disorders. My patients learn to trust food again as a result of eating clean food. Clean eating means no more bloat, no food babies, no food cravings, no food allergies, or uncontrollable weight gain.
Clean food is like medicine, but besides being nutritious, it is also absolutely delicious!

Concierge Practice
Concierge practices are springing up everywhere because they work. There are several advantages, the most important being flexibility.
With this flexibility, I offer the following:
Flexible session length – from ½ hour to 2-hour sessions
-
Intensive outpatient therapy is available for those who want an alternative to residential treatment
-
Flexible appointment times — I offer weekend and evening appointments
-
Phone sessions are available – for travelers, students, and road warriors
-
Mi casa es su casa – come and cook with me in my kitchen! It’s fun and you’ll learn a lot.
Another advantage of a concierge practice is that you also have more privacy. For example:
-
Self-pay means no insurance and no company reporting.
-
No electronic medical records (EMRs)
-
Dr. Norton meets or exceeds all HIPAA and APA Privacy standards.
On the other hand, if you want to use insurance Dr. Norton provides a managed-care-friendly invoice (documentation for out-of-network benefits) so that you can submit a claim to your insurance carrier by simply sending in the monthly/weekly invoice.
Flexible Payments
-
I accept checks, credit cards, HSA, or cash (including virtual payment via Zelle, PayPal, and Venmo).
Dr. Norton's FAQ
Some questions you may have
My therapy is patient centered and is adapted to meet the needs of each individual patient. As a family systems therapist, I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy.
While the inclusion of family members is completely up to the patient, understanding the patient’s family dynamics from either the history or from meeting with family members results in better outcomes.
Bipolar disorder
Anxiety
Depression
OCD
Personality disorders
ADD/ADHD
Autism spectrum disorder
Wellness Coaching

No, however, we do provide a managed-care-friendly invoice (documentation for out-of-network benefits) so that you can submit a claim to your insurance carrier by simply sending in the monthly/weekly invoice.
