ADHD Assessment & Treatment

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD (often referred to as ADD) effects approximately 5% of adults. ADHD can limit an individuals success at work, strain relationships, and create considerable stress. Fortunately, when appropriate treatment methods for adult ADHD  are utilized, people can make incredible improvements. The majority of my offices in San Francisco and Menlo Park are dedicated to the assessment and treatment of  adult ADHD. Note: I do have extensive experience working with children/teens with ADHD, but I am currently only working with youth on a select basis.

Couples Counseling

When relationships are positive, supportive, and symbiotic, one’s quality of life can increase exponentially. Unfortunately, couples often fall victim to repetitive negative interactions and lack skills to improve their relationship. I provide Couples Counseling in San Francisco and Menlo Park in goal focused and time limited way.  I work with Silicon Valley couples in a supportive yet directive way that highlights the areas of disfunction, and provides real life skills and techniques to help improve their relationship. I am a firm believer that Couples Therapy should be productive. I work with couples to make sure that we are moving forward in a way that is meaningful to them.

UPDATE:

Due to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, many people are either having to work from home or be at home for extended periods of time due to work and school closures. Most couples are not used to spending all day and all night together for weeks at a time. The stress of the Coronavirus outbreak is extremely stressful and that stress is being exacerbated by an abrupt change in work and home life. There are many helpful techniques that can reduce relational distress during this trying time.

In order to accommodate couples who are practicing social distancing, I am offering phone and video sessions. I am also offering specific couples counseling for couples wanting short term and action-oriented therapy to address the shift to working from home. Telehealth (phone or video sessions) is a great way to engage in couples therapy without exposing yourself or others to the virus. You may be interested in multiple sessions or just want a “one and done” type of session to address the issue of working from home with your partner. Either way I recommend that you reach out sooner rather than later to book a brief intro call or to get more information. It’s not helpful to allow things to get bad when so much can be done to make things easier.

My team and I will do our best to back to you within 24 hours, but it may take up to 48 hours due to the amount of interest at this point. If you are interested please contact me directly at 415-295-1071 or info@cognitivetherapysf.com

Finally, if you are interested in attending my online workshop on managing the possible effects the crisis can have on your relationship, just drop me an email or leave me a voicemail. Make sure to include your email address for follow up information.

Above all, follow the guidelines from the CDC and World Health Organization in order to keep you, those you care about and the larger community safe.
