ADHD
David A. Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
In the treatment of ADHD, I specialize in combining psychotherapy and coaching techniques to help you understand and conquer common challenges to productivity in ADHD. Through this work, I help my clients harness the creative power that is inherent in those with ADHD, to help them see their mind as an asset, rather than the impediment many of them all too often believe it to be.

ADHD impacts our lives in so many ways, but therapy can help. Together, we can hack your brain to increase motivation. We can find ways to complete tasks that used to take so much energy and effort. We will discover what gets in the way of having the closeness you want in your relationships with others. You can better understand your sensory needs so they don't interfere with the life you want. Lastly, identify ways to rest and relax without feeling guilt.

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

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.
