Dr. Michelle Casarella is a licensed psychologist with nearly 15 years of experience. She specializes in helping moms raise kids with ADHD and big emotions. She is a mom of two boys and is raising an 8-year-old with ADHD, so she understands firsthand how different—and often overwhelming—this parenting journey can feel. When her son was diagnosed, she was surprised to find that most of the guidance offered to parents focused on medication, with very little support for how to handle the daily struggles at home. That experience inspired her to create therapy groups specifically for moms raising ADHD kids. Through her work, Michelle helps overwhelmed and frustrated moms turn chaotic homes into calmer, more connected environments. She shares practical, actionable parenting strategies that support children’s emotional regulation, protect their self-esteem, and strengthen the relationship between parent and child. Moms in her therapy group report feeling less alone and more confident in responding to parenting challenges. At home with her husband and two sons in Northern Westchester, life is loud with lots of energy—and Legos! When Michelle isn’t working or with her family, you can find her reading, lifting weights, or traveling to somewhere warm.
