Richard B. Mahan

I am a Clinical Psychologist in a private practice in downtown Los Gatos, CA. I work with patients of all ages and do a lot of Psychological Assessment and testing. When assessing ADHD, it is important to do some testing along with taking a good history. This is why many of my patients come to me for their ADHD needs (to ensure their diagnosis is correct before going on medications and learning compensatory strategies). I work closely with families and loved ones, and believe in a wholistic approach to treatment. I also do not believe that one treatment approach can work for everyone, and so I always tailor my treatment protocols to the individual. If you, or a family member or loved one, is suffering with untreated ADHD, please feel free to contact me at (408) 409-0039.
