Does this sound familiar? You’re a high-performing professional, yet relentless anxiety and a harsh inner critic leave you feeling like an imposter. Or you’re the smart, creative type—told you have endless potential—yet unfinished projects and spiraling shame keep you stuck. Or maybe you’re a young adult trying to find your place in an unpredictable world, with your phone as your main source of comfort. TikTok says you have ADHD—maybe even autism—but deep down, you’re still not sure what fits.
I’m Dr. Sarah Fajgenbaum-Teslja, MD, a board-certified psychiatrist & psychotherapist with 10 years’ experience helping adults and older teens untangle anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autistic-spectrum challenges. Together, we'll build an individualized plan that may include medication, talk therapy, lifestyle coaching, and evidence-based complementary tools.
Life may feel overwhelming now, but change is possible. If you’re ready to quiet the critic, lift the fog, and move forward with confidence, let’s talk. Email me today to schedule a free 15-minute consultation and see if we’re a good fit.
