Dr. Sachs is a licensed child and adult psychologist specializing in ADD/ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders in children, teens, and adults. He earned his PsyD in Clinical Psychology from National Louis University. His clinical training includes Cook County Hospital, Mt. Sinai Hospital, and the Child Study Center in Chicago. He completed his internship and post-doctoral work at the Children’s Institute in Los Angeles, focusing on childhood trauma, where he supervised and trained therapists in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).
George Sachs is Gestalt-trained, certified by the Gestalt Associates Training program of Los Angeles. He has consulted to Juilliard in New York City, counseling dance, drama, and orchestral students. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Emory University.

Inflow takes medication management seriously. All state and local controlled substance databases are reviewed during your evaluation.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I go beyond labels, taking a holistic, person-centered approach to treatment. I don’t see you or your loved one as a diagnosis or set of symptoms, but rather as an individual with unique strengths and weaknesses.
I offer a holistic behavioral approach that is tailored to the individual and focused on the whole person.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I know how scary it can be when you are facing a problem that you can’t solve by yourself. For most of us, reaching out for help is not easy. My approach to therapy centers around the belief that we need CONNECTION in order to heal. This is why most self-help books aren’t as effective as they could be. There is a lot of potential good advice out there but in the absence of a supportive and caring connection, most of it is useless.
The relationship between the client and myself IS the healing piece. From that connection, you will feel safe and empowered. Then, exploring your problems seems manageable and finding solutions becomes possible.

Dr. Sachs is the best! He went out of his way to help our family when my daughter was struggling in school. He did a full neuropsychological evaluation of our child and helped figure out what was going on and how we could help her. Recommend highly.

I definitely recommend Dr. Sachs for AdultADD testing and treatment. He uses neurofeedback to treat ADD which was great for me because I didn't want to take medication.
