Mindful Child & Family Therapy Welcomes ADHD Expert Dr. Aaron Winkler

Our therapists at Mindful Child & Family Therapy value life-long learning and continued training opportunities.  We are excited to welcome Dr. Aaron Winkler, MD, an expert in the field of adult ADHD, as a guest speaker to our September Clinical Consultation Meeting.  Dr. Winkler will join our team of therapists to speak on “Understanding & Supporting High-Functioning Adults with ADHD.”

Dr. Winkler will offer medical insights and practical strategies tailored for adults who may be thriving professionally but still face hidden challenges with ADHD.  Our therapists look forward to exploring topics related to support for adults with ADHD including:

  • How ADHD subtly manifests in adults, even those who successfully navigate many areas of life
  • Specific therapeutic interventions which offer successful support for adults with ADHD
  • Ways to work with clients’ experiences of burdens and move toward a recognition of traits which can be celebrated as strengths including hyper focus, creativity, and drive.

These training opportunities and clinical conversations are an important way our therapists work to best support clients at Mindful Child and Family Therapy.”
