concerned asian man adhd

Have you ever asked yourself, “Do I have ADHD?”

ADHD can often be difficult to identify in adults, and can cause challenges for your relationships, career, and achieving your potential – although it can come with significant positives as well. You may start by scheduling an evaluation* at Summit Center, so you can determine if you actually have ADHD and better understand yourself. Identifying your own unique strengths and weaknesses can help you realize the power of your ADHD mind, along with managing the issues that tend to occur. 

Whether or not you have been diagnosed, guidance is available with our highly experienced and certified coaches to help with organizational skills, time management, and other strategies so you can focus, stay on task, and achieve your goals.

Learn more about Assessments and Adult ADHD and Executive Skills Coaching on our website.

If you are interested, complete this contact form and one of our coaches will reach out.

*Evaluations available to California residents only

Dr. Dan interviews author Ann Leary about her new collection of essays I’ve Tried Being Nice.  

With wit and candor, Ann Leary casts a wry backward glance at a life spent trying—and often failing—to be nice. She reveals to Dr. Dan how reaching a certain age finally put an end to her lifetime of people-pleasing. This interview is filled with equal parts humor and wisdom.

Ann Leary is a New York Times bestselling author. Her novel The Good House was adapted as a motion picture starring Sigourney Weaver and Kevin Kline. Ann and her husband actor and comedian Denis Leary live in New York.

“The science that has come out in the past decade about the connection between food and emotional well being is that you do not have to lose weight to gain the benefits of eating for better mental health.” — Mary Beth Albright on Parent Footprint with Dr. Dan
