ADHD
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. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Dysregulation in our lives is disruptive and limits us from our true potentials. Matters of planning, concentration, and focus can be improved through recognition of these challenges while employing a compassionate self-awareness that invites adjustments in our lives that is specific to our individual differences.

Dr. Selma Stainback
Psychologist, PsyD
I want to help people attend, focus, slow down, concentrate and finish what they start to achieve goals using things like nutrition and cbt when they may have felt they couldn't.

Ashley Miller Nolan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I was diagnosed with ADHD AFTER I was married AND working in the therapeutic field. I was shocked to realize that what I had thought was anxiety was actually internalized ADHD. Starting a stimulant medication gave me new clarity and a sense of focus I had never experienced before. I am now able to implement mindful strategies such as deep breathing, times of silence and stillness, yoga, positive affirmations and moving and exercising my body which all help to restore my mind/body connection and allow me to be fully present in the HERE and NOW. I am also aware of how my physical environment and daily structure and routine greatly impact me and am able to intentionally cultivate those to my greatest benefit. It has also helped tremendously in my understanding of my relationship with my partner. I will be excited to share that experience and knowledge with you as an adult with ADHD and/or as a parent raising a child with ADHD.
