Many people are skeptical that “just talking” with a psychologist will help.

But things like unresolved depression, anxiety, and Adult ADHD can scatter lives and ruin relationships.

I use smart therapy strategies that help you tackle the mental overload so that you can go from hot mess to a lot less stressed.

Hi, I’m Jared.

I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in therapy and counseling in Atlanta/Brookhaven for adults with ADD/ADHD and people who struggle with chronic depression, relentless self-criticism, and difficult interpersonal relationship problems.

You’re intellectually sharp, scattered, and emotionally intense…

…but unfortunately that same intensity that serves us well in some settings can also have a nasty way of making us feel like misfits at work, at school, at home.

My therapy clients have struggled, sometimes for years, to find knowledgeable, understanding, and experienced professional help and therapy for problems related to Adult ADD/ADHD, chronic depression, or messy marriages.

Does your brain feel like a browser with 100 tabs open...?

That’s the problem with being an adult: people have already made up their minds about us; we’ve even made up our minds about ourselves.
