Focus area
When focus doesn't work the way it should.
ADHD often goes unrecognized for years. It can look like chronic disorganization, missed deadlines, procrastination, emotional intensity, or a lifelong sense of underperforming your potential.
What this can look like
- Difficulty starting or finishing tasks even when they matter
- Losing track of time, appointments, or belongings
- Restlessness or trouble sitting still — physically or mentally
- Impulsive decisions or interrupting others
- Emotional reactivity or rejection sensitivity
How we help
- Structured adolescent and adult ADHD evaluation, including rule-outs for sleep, mood, and thyroid causes
- Discussion of both stimulant and non-stimulant medication options
- Coordination with therapy, coaching, or workplace accommodations
- Ongoing follow-up — ADHD care is a relationship, not a one-time script
Private self-check
Adolescent and adult ADHD self-check (ASRS-v1.1)
Over the past 6 months, how often have you had the following experiences?
This short check-in is based on the WHO Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) screener. It suggests whether a full evaluation may be worthwhile — it does not diagnose ADHD.
For teens 13–17: A parent or guardian is typically involved in scheduling and the first visit after you submit this self-check. If you're in crisis, please call or text 988 instead of waiting for an email.
Frequently asked
Questions about adhd & attention care
- Can teens or adults be diagnosed with ADHD?
- Yes. Many people have lived with unrecognized ADHD since childhood. A structured evaluation looks at lifelong patterns, current functioning, and rules out other causes like sleep issues, anxiety, or thyroid problems.
- Do you prescribe stimulant medication for ADHD?
- When clinically appropriate, yes. We discuss both stimulant (methylphenidate, amphetamine class) and non-stimulant options, cover benefits and risks, and follow controlled-substance prescribing rules.
- How long does an ADHD evaluation take?
- The initial evaluation is 60 minutes. Depending on complexity, we may recommend additional visits, rating scales, or coordination with a therapist or PCP before finalizing a diagnosis and plan.
- Is the ASRS-v1.1 self-check enough for a diagnosis?
- No. The ASRS is a screening tool that suggests whether a full evaluation is worthwhile. Diagnosis requires a clinical interview covering history, symptoms, and functional impact.
