Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
I have over 30 years' experience assessing and helping treat attention issues. First, we must determine if it is really ADD, or ADD with another issue, or simply another problem that interferes with attention and focus. Then, we design a set of interventions to address the actual underlying problem(s). Unfortunately, I often seen kids and teens who have been medicated for ADD but who don't actually have it. I'm not against medication, just against it if the patient doesn't actually have ADD. One of my articles: https://www.atlantapsych.com/article/addressingattention

Strides in Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PSY.D.
What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Attention Deficit Disorder(ADD)?
To most adults, all children seem a source of boundless energy and limited focus. How can you tell for sure if your child has a problem with attention, concentration, and keeping themselves still?
dults who find themselves moving from job to job, having difficulty with a new job, or struggling with going back to school often find themselves wondering about Attention Disorders. Sometimes, when their children are diagnosed with ADD or ADHD they start to wonder about themselves. When these adults were children, they were often mislabeled as “lazy,” “unmotivated,” “careless,” "daydreamers” or even “stupid.” They were not given the benefit of what we know today.

Maria Maddalo
Psychologist, Psy.D., BCBA
I specialize in working with children/adolescents with ADHD as it relates to the school and home settings. ADHD causes attention and concentration difficulties in the school setting. It also creates difficulties with parent and peer relationships, and problematic behaviors often manifest as a result. I work with children/adolescents and families to help understand the diagnosis, to create a positive plan for change, and to provide support. I specialize in working collaboratively with parents and teachers to create positive behavioral supports and training on how to improve executive function skills for ADHD. Because children/adolescents with ADHD have executive function difficulties, they need additional help from parents, teachers, and therapists who will provide positive support and encouragement, and NOT punishment.

David A. Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
In the treatment of ADHD, I specialize in combining psychotherapy and coaching techniques to help you understand and conquer common challenges to productivity in ADHD. Through this work, I help my clients harness the creative power that is inherent in those with ADHD, to help them see their mind as an asset, rather than the impediment many of them all too often believe it to be.
