Support for Oppositional Defiant Disorder in Peachtree City, GA
Constant power struggles, big reactions to small things, and defiance that wears the whole family down: parenting a child with oppositional and emotional-regulation challenges is exhausting, and it is not a discipline failure.
At The Brainery in Peachtree City, we offer drug-free, brain-based support that looks at how a child's nervous system handles stress and self-regulation. We do not diagnose ODD or prescribe medication. We assess the brain-body connection and build a plan to support calmer, more regulated days.
Behavior and the nervous system
When a child's nervous system spends too much time in fight-or-flight, self-regulation is genuinely hard, and behavior shows it.
A functional approach looks at that underlying regulation rather than treating behavior as purely a choice, and works to support a calmer baseline.
Our approach:
assess, personalize, support
We assess, personalize, and track progress. Plans are gentle, age-appropriate, and built with parents. We coordinate with your pediatrician, therapist, or behavioral team.
The Brainery offers drug-free, brain-based support that complements your medical care. We do not diagnose conditions or prescribe or adjust medication, and results vary from person to person. Diagnosis and medication stay with your physician.
Meet Dr. Samantha Brooks
The Brainery was founded by Dr. Samantha Brooks, a holistic chiropractor whose approach to ADHD grew out of both her training and her own family. Her son's transformation through chiropractic care is part of why the practice exists, and it shapes how she works with every child who walks through the door.
Dr. Brooks practices functional neurology, a drug-free discipline focused on how the brain and body communicate. Through advanced training with Focus Academy, she uses brain-based assessments and targeted exercises to support attention, coordination, and self-regulation. She is also certified in prenatal and pediatric care (CACCP) through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, so children of every age receive gentle, developmentally appropriate care. Her training with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition rounds out a whole-person view: focus and behavior are shaped by the nervous system, but also by sleep, nutrition, and daily habits, and she looks at all of it.
