Are you a teen or adult who feels like you are more capable than what your work reflects? Like you are spinning your wheels, spending a lot of time and energy, but are not quite where you want to be in life? You have come to the right place. I specialize in diagnosis and treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) for ages 16 and older. I do comprehensive psychological evaluations to explore the different reasons why you might having problems with concentration and focus, and I am also happy to work with you in counseling sessions.

Did you know there are more than 90 symptoms of adult ADHD which are not included in the DSM for diagnosis? ADHD affects every aspect of your life, in both obvious and subtle ways. You and I will identify the ways ADHD creates challenges for you and then develop skills and techniques you can use to minimize them. People with ADHD often have issues of low self-worth, harsh self-talk, and/or perfectionism, the result of repeated experiences of feeling like you failed, that you let someone down, or that you were “too much.” We’ll work on these issues and we’ll identify where you are expecting yourself to function like a neurotypical person so you can set expectations appropriate for your neurodivergent brain. I’m certified in treating ADHD and in addition to my clinical experience, I have lived experience as someone who has ADHD. See my website for more information.

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
