Carey Heller, Psy.D. ADHD and Executive Function Specialist

Unfortunately, if you need real help and practical strategies from someone who knows what those are, Carey Heller is not person to see. After listening to Dr. Carey Heller hearing his suggestions as well as answers to questions from multiple people, it became clear his grasp of Executive Function / Dysfunction does not seem to extend beyond what a basic Google search provides - possibly less. He did not demonstrate any understanding of the kind of help needed by a person living day to day with any kind of executive function disorder/executive dysfunction (ADD/ADHD are more common examples). He lacked understanding of what it means in practical terms to have this kind of disorder, how to treat it, apply strategies to mitigate the dysfunction or even speak to people living with it. He did not even seem to understand executive function disorder well enough to be able to know the necessary elements of effective strategies - specifically for Executive Dysfunction. In fact, he seemed to be giving advice that meant for and effective only for people withOUT executive dysfunction disorders. His information was not merely elementary - it was OFF. He reminded me of the guy we all knew in college - or when new to the workforce, who never prepared - but if the audience was uneducated - could pull off the presentation. In my opinion, the fact that he represents himself as an ADHD specialist able to provide help to people with executive function disorders is fraudulent.
