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.

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.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in ADHD, I take a comprehensive and personalized approach to treatment. This involves thorough assessment to understand the individual's unique strengths, challenges, and needs. Through evidence-based interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), behavior modification techniques, and psychoeducation, I empower clients to manage their symptoms effectively. Collaborating closely with clients, families, and other professionals, I create tailored strategies to improve organization, time management, and impulse control. Additionally, when appropriate, I integrate medication management into the treatment plan to address specific symptoms. My goal is to support individuals with ADHD in maximizing their potential, enhancing self-esteem, and achieving success in various aspects of their lives.
