Trusted ADHD Resources from a NYC Therapist
If you’ve ever Googled ADHD, you’ve probably noticed just how overwhelming—and often conflicting—the information can be. From social media soundbites to outdated blogs, it’s hard to know what (and who) to trust.
As ADHD therapists based in New York City, we see this every day. Clients come to us unsure of what’s “normal,” what’s actually ADHD, or how to separate facts from myths. That’s why we believe being well-educated about ADHD is a critical step toward getting the right support.
To make things easier, we’ve pulled together a list of trusted ADHD resources that we regularly share with our clients. These are authors, organizations, and platforms that offer science-backed, compassionate, and often life-changing perspectives on ADHD.
1. CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder)
CHADD is one of the most reputable organizations in the ADHD space. They provide up-to-date research, helpful webinars, and directories of professionals, including those right here in NYC. If you’re looking for reliable information or local events, CHADD is a great place to start.
2. Dr. Russell Barkley
Dr. Barkley is one of the leading experts in the field of ADHD. His work is research-heavy and ideal for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the science behind ADHD. His book “Taking Charge of ADHD” is a classic, and his YouTube channel is packed with helpful videos for both adults and parents of kids with ADHD.
3. Dr. Edward (Ned) Hallowell
While Dr. Barkley leans heavily into the clinical side of ADHD, Dr. Hallowell brings a more strengths-based, optimistic approach. He’s the author of “Driven to Distraction” and several other well-known books that reframe ADHD not as a disorder, but as a different way of thinking and being. Many of our NYC clients find his approach incredibly validating and empowering.
4. ADDitude Magazine
ADDitude is an online publication full of actionable advice, ADHD-friendly tools, and relatable personal stories.
