Dr. Alison Kravit, Psy.D. AAC

Many therapists or psychiatrists find value in lecturing patients or babbling on about their personal problems. Others believe they understand something about me that I've not considered, and aren't aware that, not only do I know what they think I don't, I also know what they think they know I don't know, and I don't tell them I know it, because I don't trust them, because they're making assumptions when they should be asking questions. In this way I keep them at a distance. Dr. Kravit has never lectured me about anything, doesn't make assumptions about me, and she understands how to listen to people. So I trust her. She doesn't tell me things, she asks me questions. She's able to ask questions I find difficult to answer, which means I'm having to learn about myself during appointments with her. This is 1000x more effective than someone else telling me about myself. Because anyone telling me about myself is someone I never trusted - they are making judgments based on what I've shown them and validating my choice not to trust them, all while being wrong for reasons they'll never understand, because I'll never give them the information they need to understand. All they had to do was listen, not judge me, not assume they're smarter than me, and not believe they understand what's best for me better than I do. In other words, all they needed to do is what Dr. Kravit does.

I first contacted Dr. Kravit when I was dealing with some personal struggles in my schooling. I was close to what I'd consider my rock bottom in my life but with the help of Dr. Kravit, and her incredibly helpful insights on ADHD, I was able to turn my life around for the better. I credit Dr. Kravit's help largely as a key factor of my shift in my behaviors and helping take charge of my life. I highly recommend contacting Dr. Alison Kravit if you're ever feeling down and/or in need of some support, she really is one of the best!

Dr. Kravit is kind and nonjudgmental, you can tell that she appreciates the positive aspects of ADHD as well as the challenges. She also has a lot of helpful suggestions for ways to keep organized. You'll get more out of the coaching experience if you go in with a clear idea of what you're trying to get out of it.

I was really upset when I was diagnosed with ADHD, but Dr. Kravit helped me to feel safe and understand everything. This diagnosis, along with the help of Dr. Kravit, changed my entire life! I've been seeing her since I was depressed, insecure, and hopeless in 6th grade, to now as a confident, motivated, and happy freshmen in college. I wouldn't be who I am or where I am today if it weren't for her practice!

Dr. Kravit has been such a life saver for me. Since being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and being treated by her regularly, I've never felt better mentally in my life. I tell people that for the first time possibly ever, I feel like this is what "normal" feels like. When I was going through a hard time at home, she was there for me immediately and made herself available so that I could see her more frequently while I was going through it. I don't know how I would've progressed without her. I've never had a provider so accommodating, and she's so much more than a therapist! Definitely works as more of a coach, which I love! She listens, but she gives me an action plan after my appointments for whatever we discussed so that I can actually work on it outside of our sessions. She's very knowledgeable and so understanding, but I like that she does more than just listen. She gives me true feedback and really gets to the root of the issues I'm discussing. I've seen so much improvement in myself, my work life, and my home life and I really attribute a lot of it to the help she has given me along the way. She also diagnosed 2 of my sons with ADHD, which has been eye opening and we've seen such improvement with them since their diagnosis. I truly cannot recommend her enough!

I interviewed several adhd coaches before choosing to work with Dr. Alison Kravit. I would highly recommend her because she is both a vary capable Coach and Psychologist. It has been tremendously helpful working with her. She has helped me get clear on what my goals are & then how to achieve them in a way that suits me at me own pace & in my own learning style. Having everything written down after session has been a tremendous help. As I don't have to say that to anyone with adhd who has trouble with attention or focus. And each week I got to see what has changed & been achieved so I knew I was making concreate steps towards my goals. She is both very encouraging, compassionate, empathetic & firm when needed. I have gained many insights & tools to work with, so that I am able to continue working on current or future goals on my own. If your stuck or lost in what direction to go towards, I highly recommend contacting Dr. Alison Kravit. To get started on a more organized and manageable life.

Dr. Kravit is great! Really helped me overcome obstacles with time management and organization. She really understood me and made me feel comfortable.

For someone with ADHD the world can be a confusing, frustrating and scary place. Dr. Kravit understands that, which comes as a comfort. She's helped me to accept my ADHD as a part of who I am, to adapt to its challenges, and to appreciate the unique perspectives it brings.

Dr. Kravit has helped me with every facet of my life. It would be impossible to do a review justice in a small space like this. I was misdiagnosed, and put on medication that made me have terrible side effects before I went to her. Since she diagnosed my Adult ADHD, my life has had a new clarity to it. I owe all of my recent progress and successes in life to her help. I consider myself to be forever in her debt. I can't recommend her strongly enough. She really goes above and beyond what you'd expect for her patients, and you know she really cares. She understands you and doesn't judge you. Dr. Kravit is awesome! Go see her!
