ADHD therapists in Sterling, Virginia VA

Ashburn Psychological Services was founded in 2005 by Dr. Michael Oberschneider. The practice has been well received by area professionals and families and has grown to be the home of some of the area's leading psychiatrists and psychologists. We are here to address your needs.   

My sensitive and engaging, direct and practical, style is reported by my clients as one of their attractions to working with me. I work with Children, Adolescents and Adults, addressing ADHD, depression and anxiety, divorce, loss and medical trauma. . I would be honored with your trust in me.  

My practice sets up specific strategies that help ADHD issues, for adults.  

Our brains are wired differently and we are each unique. This brings up a lot of challenges in life, school, work, relationships, and parenting. I use a strength-based approach and a Neurodivergent-affirming lens when working with clients.  

You've reached adulthood, and never really understood your diagnosis of ADHD. We'll review what ADHD actually is, how it impacts your functioning specifically, and the means to manage it for you.  

As a licensed clinical psychologist for 20+ years, I understand that the relationship and "fit" between client and therapist is paramount. I work hard to establish and maintain a relationship based on mutual trust and honesty. We can work together to help you feel less stuck, and more in control.  

ADHD makes it harder for kids to maintain attention and control behaviors/emotions. As a result, they often act in ways that are difficult to manage and may get them into trouble. Children may need assistance learning impulse control, emotional regulation and coping strategies to thrive in their daily lives.

In a secure atmosphere of trust & confidentiality, I help patients understand the obstacles interfering with reaching their potential & use those insights to enhance personal growth, self esteem, and fulfillment in life.  

Some clients tend to feel they simply can't focus or slow down. I hope to assist them with approaches that may include nutrition that can help them to be able to attend and concentrate, become more calm as they finish tasks they start more consistently and achieve some of the goals they previously believed were unreachable.
