Winter 2008: The Buzz is Growing

Once again, lots happening here at The Attention Doctor. Some of you who live in Greenpoint/Williamsburg may have seen our flyers at the ING Marathon, and the following day I spoke to a group of about fifty people at the New York City chapter of CHADD. Many thanks to Hal Meyer for having me. The talk, entitled Rewiring Your Brain: Improving Focus and Function in Adults with ADD and Depression, was recorded and is available right here on our site.
      
In other big news, we are planning a party to celebrate the publication of Getting Unstuck and the founding of the Greenpoint Group Therapy Program on Thursday, January 15th at Rose Live Music on Grand Street in Williamsburg. A few of my favorite bands, including Willie and the Wolves Featuring Lady V, The Howling Monkeys, and The MIXXTAPE out of New Hope, PA, will be featured from 7-10:30pm. Open bar is from 6-7pm, and food and books are free all night long.
 

 

Between the buzz from the CHADD talk and the marathon day flyers, I am pleased to announce that we will begin our first “Getting Unstuck Groups” in early January. It is our intention to start several more groups toward the end of the month as demand allows. If you have been following this web site, or if you know me at all, you may understand that this is the realization of over a decade of planning, and I want to thank all the people who have helped to make this dream a reality.

As for the production of my book, I want to thank Robin Artz for her beautiful cover and Marjorie Finer for designing the text. Liz Wagner shepherded me through the independent publishing process from start to finish. Without her there would be no book. I want to thank Andrew Childs for developing this web site and Cristian Fleming for his fine graphics. I want to especially acknowledge my partner in the development of my practice, Kristin Romano, a fine therapist herself, who bears the brunt of administering and running the business/logistical end of our endeavors, and also Carol Shetz Boyd, our very experienced and knowledgeable nurse practitioner

Please keep your eye on our site for new articles and further announcements about our upcoming events and programs. And don’t miss our party on January 15th at Rose on Grand Street. See you there.
