Dr. Doron Almagor is a Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatrist who completed his medical degree and specialty training in Psychiatry at the University of Toronto. He is an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD, and conditions like anxiety and depression that often go along with it. He is the former Chair of CADDRA (the Canadian ADHD Resource Alliance), the organization that provides physicians across Canada with scientifically supported guidelines for diagnosing and treating ADHD, and he is the current Chair of the CADDRA Advisory Council. He has also served as President of the Ontario Psychiatric Association (OPA).
For 30 years, Dr. Almagor held an appointment at the University of Toronto, where he led the ADHD lecture series for psychiatry residents, helping to train the next generation of specialists. Before founding the Possibilities Clinic, and while building it, he also cared for children, teens, and adults at the University Health Network and the SickKids Centre for Community Mental Health. He has lectured internationally on ADHD. Today, he is the Founder and Director of the Possibilities Clinic, headquartered in Toronto, serving children, teens, and adults across Ontario with in-person and telemedicine assessments and treatments.
Dr. Almagor respects the complexity of ADHD and approaches diagnoses and treatments at the Possibilities Clinic with a unique team approach. He has brought together clinicians from psychiatry, psychology, psychometry, paediatrics, family medicine, nursing, social work, speech and language pathology, and occupational therapy to form an expert team that strives to achieve the highest standards of diagnosis and care in ADHD. Three words sum up Dr. Almagor’s approach and vision: science, support, synergy. Science guides all that is offered at Possibilities, from assessments to treatments. When we offer support to children, families, and adults based on what we know from science, synergy creates hope and ignites possibilities!
Dr. Almagor is also the co-author, with his Possibilities Clinic colleague Dr. Brenda Miles, of the forthcoming children’s book What to Do When Paying Attention Is a Mystery (Magination Press, the children’s book imprint of the American Psychological Association), written to help kids understand attention and discover tools that work.
