Luis Ponte, Ph.D.

Hi, I'm Luis Ponte, Ph.D. - Psychologist for ADHD Assessment at Roots Psychotherapy!

You may feel like you’ve been working twice as hard as everyone else just to keep up.
You might find yourself missing details, losing track of tasks, or struggling to follow through even when you genuinely care about the outcome. You may be wondering why your effort doesn’t match your potential and why staying organized or focused feels harder than it should. An ADHD assessment can help you make sense of these experiences and give you clarity about what’s been happening beneath the surface and a clear path forward.

Your Therapy Experience

I don’t believe an ADHD assessment is just checking boxes or counting symptoms.
I do believe it’s a way of understanding the patterns behind your struggles; how your attention, motivation, and internal world have developed over time. Real clarity happens when we look at both the measurable aspects of attention and the personal meaning behind your difficulties, rather than treating them as isolated behaviors. Over time, you begin to see how your strengths and challenges fit together, giving you a clearer understanding of yourself and what will help you move forward.

My Specialties & Approach

In an assessment with me, you will find a calm and focused space where we gather information about your experiences, not only ADHD‑related symptoms, but also the broader areas of your life that help us understand the full picture.

I will ask about how your attention, motivation, and daily routines feel from the inside, and how these patterns show up in your relationships, work, and overall functioning. You will have the opportunity to describe how these challenges impact your day‑to‑day life so we can understand what has been getting in the way and what feels most difficult for you.

We will bring together your own report and the results of objective measures to create a clear and grounded picture of what you are experiencing. By the end, you will receive a detailed report, and we will sit together to walk through the findings, the meaning behind them, and the recommendations that can support your next steps.

About Me

Outside of work, I am usually doing something that gets me outside or around people I care about. I love grilling, playing golf, and spending time with friends, whether we are catching up, laughing, or simply slowing down for a bit. I enjoy staying active, being in the sun, and finding new spots around town, especially places that feel unique or have a great atmosphere. I am happiest around good food, good company, and spaces that are thoughtfully put together.

The quote below is a mantle for my work because it captures something I believe deeply: people don’t need to become someone different, they need the space to uncover who they already are. I’m drawn to it because it speaks to clarity, honesty, and the slow process of coming home to yourself.

“Become who you are” - Friedrich Nietzsche
