Helping people with ADHD and/or executive function challenges to thrive

Meet Carey Heller, Psy.D.

Welcome. I'm Dr. Carey Heller, a licensed psychologist dedicated to helping individuals with ADHD and executive function challenges thrive.

My approach is somewhat unique, integrating the depth of psychotherapy with targeted ADHD and executive function coaching strategies to provide a comprehensive path towards increased well-being, better time management, less stress, and greater success.

As a clinician and coach, I understand the unique hurdles faced by parents of kids with ADHD, kids with ADHD themselves, and adults navigating its complexities. Whether it's the daily struggle with organization, the frustration of lost items, or the impact of time management on work and life, you're not alone.

Beyond my private practice, I'm committed to sharing insights through my writing in publications like Attention Magazine, books, presentations and talks, and the practical tools I've developed – including ADHD Assist, ADHD Assist Student Version, helpful planning templates, and family organizers. Explore how my unique perspective and resources can help you or your child or teen build skills, gain confidence, and achieve your goals.

As a psychologist, I am somewhat unique in my approach combining therapy and ADHD/Executive Function Coaching. I do also sometimes work with clients just on ADHD/EF related items while they continue to work with an existing therapist on other items.

This two hour intensive 1:1 session is a great way to dive into current challenges and come away from the session feeling empowered with a written plan of concrete strategies you will use to make things better. Even better than just knowing what to do, we setup as much as we can during the session so you can start using the new tools today. Follow up sessions are also availabe to help work further on things. You can’t fix everything in two hours, but you can put yourself on a good path towards doing so with a simple plan of concrete strategies that are realistic to implement.

Available for kids/teens and adults.

I conduct formal testing to diagnose ADHD, learning disabilities and related things. More than just a diagnosis, I like to think of the evaluation results and report as a roadmap to a better understanding of yourself or your child as a person paired with a comprehensive action plan to enable you or your child to thrive.
