Jamie Suarez
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-MHSP, CSAT Candidate, C-DBT
Too often ADHD is looked at as a disorder and liability. Without the appropriate outlook it can be extremely debilitating in one's work and relationships, but with proper perspective, ADHD can actually become an asset. Many have come to believe that it is just a different way of being in the world.

Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
I believe to effectively treat ADHD you have to have ADHD. I don't treat ADHD by trying to make you act or seem like someone you're not. I treat ADHD by helping you develop skills, habits, and support for whatever aspects of ADHD you would like to improve.

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.

I understand that ADHD is more than just not being able to focus and fidgeting. Below the iceberg are all sorts of challenges at the same time having it as a superpower to getting a lot done.
