Adult ADHD is everywhere right now—on TikTok, in podcasts, and in everyday conversations. Many adults are wondering: Why is life feeling harder than it should? Why can’t I stay organized, focused, or on top of things?

But not every attention problem is ADHD. Difficulties with focus, motivation, time management, and follow-through can also stem from anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, autism spectrum differences, stress, or simply never having learned the right executive functioning systems.

Join us for a FREE educational webinar designed to help adults understand the difference between common struggles and a true ADHD diagnosis, and what steps to take next. This webinar will take place on July 14, 2026 at 8:00 AM ET. If you cannot attend the live webinar, register to receive a link to the recording via email.

Whether in solo practice or part of a group, sometimes therapists and psychiatrists feel isolated, unsupported, or overwhelmed by scheduling, billing, and the lack of trusted colleagues to consult with. At The Ross Center in New York City, we offer a different model: an established, collaborative, full-service group mental health practice designed to support both exceptional patient care and thriving clinicians.

We’re selectively expanding our NYC team with two openings for experienced LCSW, LPC, PsyD, or PhD Licensed Therapists and one Child, Adolescent or Adult Psychiatrist. Inquiries will be accepted through June 30th, 2026.

With a comprehensive umbrella of services under one roof, including psychotherapy, psychiatry, and comprehensive testing, we make it easy to provide truly integrated, evidence-based care.

If this sounds like a good fit for you, or someone you know, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
