Get Started NowNo matter where you are in California, we got you covered.
Get Started NowTraditionally, anyone seeking an ADHD diagnosis or wanting to rule out other conditions would see their primary care provider or a psychiatrist. But in today’s day and age, patients can also consult a clinician virtually with mental health services like ADHDAdvisor.org.
If you want to get started with ADHDAdvisor.org, take our initial-assessment so we can get a better idea of your situation and if we’re able to help. It takes less than five minutes and asks a few questions about your symptoms, how long you’ve noticed them, and when you’d like to book a virtual appointment. While the initial assessment isn’t meant to diagnose ADHD or recommend a treatment plan, it helps our team understand your unique circumstance and gives your medical provider additional context before the clinical evaluation.
Regardless of where you seek support, a clinician will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine the root cause of your symptoms. They will ask questions, review your responses, and weigh them against a diagnostic criteria known as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), the latest edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s reference book.
You clinician will offer you options for treating your ADHD if you are diagnosed. In New York we are able to offer a wide range of treatments from therapy to medication management including non-stimulant medication such as Strattera & Kapvay. However, it will be entirely up to the discretion of your assigned healthcare provider and your own personal preference what treatment option is right for you.
In only a few minutes, our free ADHD evaluation will help identify the right clinician and treatment plan for your mental health needs. Complete our free online assessment to screen for ADHD, anxiety, and depression and determine if a clinical evaluation is recommended.
Great results start with a great therapist, which is why we'll show you only the most compatible therapists in our network. You will be matched with a licensed mental health professional in your state at your preferred day and time for a clinical evaluation.
Once you've found your match, your new therapist will begin building a customized treatment plan based on your ADHD symptoms, medical history, and personal preferences. After your clinical evaluation, you will receive a signed diagnosis letter and a recommended treatment plan based on the evaluation.
