Dr. Marcy Caldwell is a clinical psychologist, author, and speaker with over 20 years of expertise in ADHD. As the founder of The Center for ADHD – one of the nation’s premier practices dedicated exclusively to adult ADHD care – she has shaped standards for understanding neurodivergent identity by merging clinical research with compassionate, client-centered approaches. Her work focuses on empowering individuals with ADHD to navigate emotional and systemic challenges, transforming self-doubt into self-advocacy.
Dr. Caldwell’s commitment to accessible care inspired her to create ADDept.org, a digital hub offering free science-backed strategies for adults with ADHD, and Meltdown to Mastery, a low-cost program dedicated to emotional regulation. Building on her decade as a lecturing professor at the University of Pennsylvania, she now trains clinicians globally through workshops and programs, equipping them with practical frameworks to support ADHD clients effectively.
Her expertise extends to the corporate world, where she advises organizations on fostering neuroinclusive workplaces that leverage ADHD strengths. An accomplished author and illustrator, Dr. Caldwell’s insights have been featured in The New York Times, USA Today, and the bestselling book ADHD is Awesome. She recently illustrated The ADHD Productivity Manual by Ari Tuckman and is writing her own book, UnStuck: An Illustrated Guide to ADHD Emotional Regulation, the first book dedicated to ADHD-specific tools for emotional resilience.
Rooted in both evidence-based practice and personal experience, Dr. Caldwell’s work is informed by her life as a wife and mother in a neurodiverse family. This drives her mission to reframe ADHD as a wellspring of creativity and strength. Through clinical practice, education, and advocacy, she continues to redefine how society supports and celebrates neurodiverse individuals.
