Upon completion of his undergraduate studies at Cedarville University, Dr Royer continued his education with a master of arts degree in community counseling from Georgia State University and a master’s degree in Christian counseling from Richmont Graduate University. He then pursued a master’s degree in clinical psychology and finished his formal education with a doctoral degree in clinical psychology from Argosy University.
In 1994 Dr Royer began his career at Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Hospital, providing pediatric inpatient services and consultation services to Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital. He later became division chief of pediatric psychology at the children’s hospital. During his time there, he developed the Neurobehavioral Center where he had the experience of assessing thousands of childrens’ brains and consulting with their physicians and parents. This experience vastly deepened his knowledge of the brain and birthed a passion to help people improve their lives by using the brain as the generator of change.
In 2002, Dr. Royer started a practice working individually with students who were struggling behaviorally and academically. He expanded that experience into a school-based business in which he could provide student testing and treatment within the school setting, while coordinating the parent’s and teacher’s concerns under one roof, to produce improved academic performance. This successful concept developed into a thriving chain of clinics providing brain-based treatment to clients of all ages, addressing concerns of attention, memory, sleep, anxiety, mood and peak performance. Today Dr. Royer’s work continues in client’s homes across the globe and in university, athletic and business settings through Royer Neuroscience.
Dr. Royer is a believer in the power of the brain. For 25 years he has been working tirelessly to improve the brains of his clients and impact their quality of life. He combines cutting edge technology with proven principles and tools to produce the highest quality of expertise in brain optimization. His specialized training in neuropsychological testing/assessment allows him to provide individualized training recommendations for optimal performance. He is double board certified in neurofeedback and heart rate variability, providing him the means to produce brain balance.
His experience with over 50 thousand brains confirms that the brain is our most valuable commodity and the more we know about it, the better we can maximize it throughout our lifespan. His passion for individualized client education drives his own practice, where he spends as much time educating his clients as he does performing treatment. Dr. Royer is committed to educating people about their brain and is recognized for his ability to break down the science into digestible morsels for any audience.
Dr. Royer is on a mission to change the world-one brain at a time.
Personal: Dr. Royer resides in Grandville, Michigan with his wife of 30 years. They are the proud parents of four amazing kids and one great dog.
