Dr.
Carey Washington is a clinical psychologist who is an
expert in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This is the most recognized
type of therapy for anxiety disorders which often accompany ADHD patients.
This type of therapy is typically very short term, that is to
say about 2-3 months. Dr. Washington also has many years of experience
in marriage counseling and forensic psychology. |

Dr. Lynn Washington is
doubly credentialed in both Audiology and Speech and Language
Pathology. Many of our patients have Central Auditory Processing
Deficiencies (CAPD) which can both accompany
ADHD and mimic ADHD. She both evaluates those of our
patients who seem likely to have CAPD and those that are found
to have it are offered the type of language therapy which can be
effective in treating this disorder. She also is very helpful
in treating our patients with Asperger's Syndrome and the Autistic
Spectrum Disorder----all of whom have problems communicating effectively.
Dr. Burnett is very effective in treating disorders of written
composition and has prepared many students for the SAT. Finally,
many of our patients with anger problems based on communication
problem frustrations have been helped in improving communication
skills.
