Care is personal, direct, and centered on what is happening in your life right now.
Located in Coolidge Corner, Michael provides in-person psychiatric care, psychotherapy, and ADHD medication treatment in a private, one-person office.
Call (617) 730-8048 to discuss ADHD treatment in Brookline.
ADHD Therapy That Looks at the Whole Person
ADHD does not look the same for everyone. Some people struggle to sit still or slow their thoughts. Others can concentrate intensely on certain activities but have trouble beginning routine tasks, remembering appointments, managing time, or following through.
Adults with ADHD may also deal with anxiety, depression, poor sleep, low self-esteem, loneliness, or a lack of confidence. Years of missed deadlines, unfinished projects, academic pressure, or relationship conflicts can take a toll.
Michael takes a patient-centered approach that looks at your symptoms along with your relationships, work, school, health, routines, and personal goals.
Treatment may incorporate psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic therapy, medication management, and mind-body techniques.
ADHD Treatment for College and Graduate Students in Brookline
College, graduate school, and doctoral programs can place tremendous demands on attention and executive functioning. A student who performed well in the past may suddenly struggle when classes become less structured and responsibilities increase.
ADHD therapy can help students develop practical strategies for managing academic demands while also addressing anxiety, stress, mood, and confidence.
Common areas we can work on include:
- Improving focus and concentration
- Managing procrastination and task initiation
- Creating realistic routines and schedules
- Breaking large assignments into manageable steps
- Improving organization and time management
- Managing academic stress and anxiety
- Developing better sleep habits
- Building confidence and reducing self-criticism
- Improving communication in relationships
- Evaluating ADHD medication when appropriate
The goal is not to force you into someone else’s system. It is to identify strategies that fit the way you think, work, study, and live.
ADHD Medication Management in Brookline
For some people, medication can be an important part of ADHD treatment. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, Michael can provide ADHD medication treatment, consultation, prescriptions, and ongoing medication management when clinically appropriate.
Medication management involves more than writing a prescription. Treatment includes discussing symptoms, goals, medication response, possible side effects, sleep, anxiety, mood, and how treatment is affecting your everyday functioning.
Medication may be used alongside therapy so that biological, emotional, behavioral, and practical concerns can all be addressed.
When it comes to ADHD treatment, the right plan depends on the individual rather than a single approach that is expected to work for everyone.
Therapy for ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression
ADHD often overlaps with other concerns. Difficulty completing responsibilities can create anxiety. Repeated frustration can affect confidence. Feeling overwhelmed for long periods may contribute to depression or emotional exhaustion.
Michael provides psychotherapy for anxiety, depression therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy for depression, CBT for anxiety, and psychiatric medication management in the same practice.
This integrated approach can be useful for people whose symptoms do not fit neatly into one category.
Treatment can also address mood and bipolar disorders, sleep disorders, relationship difficulties, stress, and major life transitions. LGBTQIA+ clients and people in recovery are treated with respect and without judgment.
LGBTQIA+ ADHD Therapy in Brookline
Michael Schreiber Therapy provides respectful, non-biased ADHD therapy for members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Treatment focuses on the whole person, including attention, anxiety, depression, relationships, identity-related stress, sleep, and self-esteem.
Care may include psychotherapy, CBT, medication management, and practical strategies for improving focus, organization, and emotional regulation. The goal is to provide a private, supportive setting where you can speak openly and receive care that reflects your individual needs.
