Charles Janssens, a three-year resident of the area, is a collaborating physician at ADHD Life Medical Associates, a newly established practice located in The Switch building, conveniently off the Nickel Plate Trail at 8626 East 116th Street, Suite 200. The clinic, operating within The Marriage and Family Clinic, specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of teens and adults with ADHD, offering a holistic and highly personalized approach.

Charles and his colleague, Nurse Practitioner Tracie Meyer, co-founded ADHD Life Medical  Associates to address the challenges they experienced firsthand as parents of children with ADHD. With over 12 years of shared experience in Internal Medicine at St. Francis Hospital, Charles and Tracie realized a need for comprehensive ADHD care in the community. Inspired by years of navigating ADHD treatments, school accommodations, and continuing medical education, the pair created a clinic to fill the gap and provide more in-depth diagnostic and treatment options.

The practice offers medication management for ADHD, depression, and anxiety, along with QbTesting, an FDA-approved ADHD test for diagnosis and medication monitoring, and MindPrint Cognitive Testing. MindPrint is a groundbreaking tool that creates a "cognitive fingerprint" unique to each child, revealing strengths and weaknesses to improve learning strategies. It benefits students of all learning backgrounds and even provides ACT/SAT insights for high schoolers.

Dr. Janssens emphasizes the importance of specialized care for ADHD, noting that accurate diagnosis requires more than a simple survey. The clinic’s holistic treatment plans include education, accommodations, lifestyle adjustments, and close follow-up.

Born in Derby, Kansas, and later raised in Wichita, Charles graduated from Wichita State University before earning his Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine at Midwestern University in Arizona. After completing his Internal Medicine residency at IU Health in 2010, he worked extensively in the field before co-founding ADHD Life Medical Associates.

Charles lives with his wife Jennifer and their four children, Donna, Lorrie, Ruby, and Charlie Jr., along with their Sheepadoodle, Penny. Outside of work, Charles enjoys traveling, hiking, and mountain climbing, having summited notable peaks like Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Elbrus.
