I have received my Ph.D. in Psychology from UCLA with an emphasis on education, and I am also licensed in Individual, Marriage, and Family Therapy. I have over 20 years of university teaching (at UC and CSU systems). You are welcome to visit my site at: Shahincarrigan.com. One of my specializations is ADHD testing by remote, diagnosis, and treatment. My tests, subsequent analyses, and diagnoses are accepted for medication treatment, school accommodations, and work. Additionally, I offer CBT treatment for the amelioration of the disorder. The effect of ADHD on marital, parenting, and relationships is well known and needs attention. I am here to offer my expertise in this area, too.
