ADHD Therapists in Atlanta, GA

*Individuals, Couples, Adults, Teens & Children* We are shaped by our experiences and what we believe about them, but we can all be re-shaped by new information, awareness, and insight which helps to change how you view your past experiences, a "want-to" and consistent and deliberate effort. Whether we have experienced the pain of trauma, divorce, neglect, "wrong" choices, career challenges, relationship/marital issues or feelings of helplessness or hopelessness, it doesn't negate the PURPOSE for which you were created and the success which awaits you.

No one wants to live in a stressful, unhappy home. But this is the result when adults and children don't know how to communicate with each other in a safe, non-combative way.

I help high-achievers, ADHDers & first-generation strivers develop healthier coping mechanisms to achieve more while having less resistance! Being a high achiever means that others may not recognize that you are struggling. You are savvy, so you have naturally found workarounds for your areas of weakness. This allowed you to excel in your career, but overworking & being in a constant state of anxiety eventually catches up with you. This can show up as work stress, unfulfilling relationships & decreased confidence. You need a therapist that understands the unique challenges that come with being an outlier & can help you bounce back.

Emotionally intense personalities, deep thinkers, and busy minds with sensitive hearts are welcome here. You're probably tired of people telling you that you're "too much": too needy, too talkative, too picky, too clingy, or (gulp!) too sensitive! Meanwhile, you're almost constantly feeling not good enough inside: like a fraud, a failure, and falling short of finding the love, the career, the friends, the life you've aimed for. You've possibly wondered if you have chronic depression, anxiety, or adult ADHD . Anxiety, aloneness, existential angst, indecisiveness, and insecurity can leave you in an emotional tailspin.

Are you concerned your child has a learning disability (dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia) or another disorder (e.g., ADHD )? Has the school recommended testing? Watching your child struggle in school can be disconcerting and demoralizing, especially if you’ve tried to help in every way you know how. Perhaps you know your child is bright, but you can’t understand why they are not demonstrating their true potential? Or, maybe assisting them with their homework is so time-consuming and taxing that you feel inadequate, as if you are failing them as a parent? Let me collaborate with you and your child to help them reach their potential.
