Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Many people with ADHD have received and internalized the message that they are lazy or not living up to their potential; it is common for individuals with ADHD to be hard on themselves in an attempt to increase productivity and reliability. Yet, each failure reinforces the message that they are inadequate. Moreover, the nature of ADHD often makes it difficult to organize and soothe difficult thoughts and emotions, leaving one vulnerable to anxiety and depression.

Dr. JD Wright
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
ADHD can affect every aspect of life, from academics and work, to relationship with family and friends, to your own experience of emotions. My perspective is grounded in an awareness of the interplay of culture and context in the experience of ADHD. I see clients for whom ADHD is their primary reason for coming to therapy, as well as those who are coming in for other reasons but want to see someone who can recognize how ADHD shapes their experiences. In addition to therapy, I offer diagnostic assessments for ADHD as well as executive functioning coaching, all of which can be integrated or stand-alone services.

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

Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have worked throughout my career to help individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) manage the aspects of their ADHD symptoms that impact functioning and well-being. I further help them identify strengths that can help them redefine success, and adopt strategies and skills that can help them work towards and actualize success. This sometimes involves referral to and/or collaboration with a medication prescriber for comprehensive care and maximization of management of symptoms.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
ADHD looks different person to person, in my practice I collaborate with my clients to find the best approach that fits their needs. I have found success in providing context to certain behaviors and finding sustainable paths in managing your ADHD. Sometimes this means hands on skills to practice, as well as lifestyle shifts that can make aspects of focus and concentration easier to attain.
