Mental health and obtaining an ADHD assement is a complicated process, so it’s natural that you may have some lingering questions. Below are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.
Standing in stark contrast to the standard questionnaire format of ADHD tests is the T.O.V.A., which uses interactive, computerized elements to gauge attention span, reaction times, and other factors.
Yes! This is an inclusive platform. For individuals who do not meet criteria for a mental health condition assessment, therapy services are still available.
All visits will be conducted via a secure video conferencing platform.
For most patients, a diagnosis is provided by the clinician at the end of the initial visit. However, if more information is needed or the results are inconclusive, additional sessions may be required to ensure an accurate outcome. Please note that a diagnosis is not guaranteed, your provider will only diagnose ADHD if it is clinically appropriate.
Ongoing treatment costs depend on your needs. Standard medication management and therapy subscription plans are $130 per month. If you and your clinician decide additional sessions would be beneficial, those can be purchased and scheduled separately.
After your initial assessment, you will receive a personalized plan outlining a follow-up schedule tailored to your needs.
Yes, stimulant medications can be prescribed directly by your ADHD Advisor provider when clinically appropriate. Because stimulants are controlled substances, a thorough evaluation of your medical history, symptoms, and individual needs is required before any prescription is issued. Please note that stimulant prescribing is only available in select states. Your provider will let you know whether this option is available to you and, if so, work with you to incorporate it into your treatment plan.
ADHD Advisor providers can prescribe both non-stimulant and stimulant medications as part of your treatment plan.
