About

Let's Walk Together in Wellness

My name is Dr. Alden Bush. I am a bilingual, board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a doctorate from Columbia University, dedicated to providing expert care for adults and older adolescents with ADHD. I specialize in diagnosing and treating ADHD in adults through a comprehensive bio-psycho-social approach. My focus is on effective behavior modification and understanding the emotional challenges of being neurodivergent, tailored to each patient’s social development since childhood. A little about me: I approach ADHD treatment from a personal perspective, having lived with the disorder since childhood. This firsthand experience helps me understand the challenges and nuances of managing ADHD effectively, which I incorporate into my care. I look forward to working together! -- NOTE: I AM CURRENTLY ONLY WORKING WITH OLDER ADOLESCENTS AND ADULT PATIENTS WHO HAVE ADHD-RELATED NEEDS. I AM ONLY PROVIDING PSYCHIATRIC MEDICATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES. I DO NOT PROVIDE FORMAL PSYCHOTHERAPY. IF YOU FOUND ME VIA THE ASSEMBLY OF ORTHODOX BISHOPS DIRECTORY, PLEASE DO REACH OUT. --

Testimonials

“Dr. Bush was very understanding and a good communicator. As someone who is taking their first steps on a mental health journey, he was great at navigating through what I was saying. He is definitely by the book, which I respect. ”

Existing Patient

“He trusted what I said, he didn't question my authority on my own experience, and his standard intake questions came after the interview/ conversation, so it didn't feel like I was being interrogated, which is how I've ALWAYS been made to feel. ”

Existing Patient

“I felt heard and valued and that my voice mattered in my care.”
