Mr. Dan Pugel
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
Common experiences are encountered by both children and adults. ADD and ADHD Symptoms include:
• Restlessness, fidgeting, squirming, general difficulty in staying seated.
• Easily distracted by other activities or the environment.
• Talks excessively
• Blurts out answers out of turn or before the question is completely stated.
• Has difficulty with organization
• Struggles with staying on task.
• Waiting is a chore.
• Social awkwardness and poor social skills can lead to alienation from peers.
ADD/ADHD has been misdiagnosed, overlooked or denied. A variety of counseling can be tried, often with successful outcomes.
At times medication is necessary. Some children are medicated too soon even before counseling is given adequate time. ADHD medication is not always necessary however some children are in need and once their system metabolizes their lives can dramatically change. Adult ADD and adult ADHD are treatable and growth and change are possible - it's never too late.
So counseling is a must and medication may be an option. Often both are the best course of action to provide the individual optimal care.

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.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
ADHD treatment is one of the newer treatments I've added to my practice. I use a skills-based treatment structure in which you and I will closely examine the symptoms of ADHD that present the most impairment for you. We'll use a combination of teaching cognitive and behavioral skills combined with behavioral practice/rehearsal to create the behavior change needed to reduce the impairment created by your symptoms. The process works pretty well for most people with ADHD.

If you are having problems with ADD or ADHD, I can help provide strategies for managing symptoms, improving organization skills, and setting goals. I can also help address the emotional challenges related to ADD/ADHD that can effect you and others close to you. We can use some cognitive behavioral strategies to find better ways of coping and address any negative thought patterns that you may have.

Rosemarie Manfredi
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a neuropsychologist, I have extensive experience in the diagnosis and evaluation of ADHD in children, teens, and adults. I earned a certification as an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP) in 2020. In my practice, I offer diagnostic evaluations to help determine whether a person has ADHD, as well as more comprehensive evaluations that identify the impact of ADHD on learning, development, and behavior. These more comprehensive evaluations allow me to make specific and individualized recommendations for educational, career, and treatment settings. Additionally, I offer career assessments and guidance for individuals with ADHD in order to help find or craft a career that aligns with their interests, abilities, and skills. Finally, I provide academic and executive function coaching services for adults with ADHD.
