ADHD
ADHD evaluation and treatment, across Illinois.
ADHD is the area we see most. Evaluation and treatment for adolescents and adults, entirely by telehealth, from anywhere in Illinois.
How it works
A real evaluation comes first.
Adult ADHD is often missed for years, and it is often confused with anxiety, depression or ordinary overwhelm. Those can also sit alongside it. Sorting that out takes more than a questionnaire.
Your first visit runs a full 60 minutes. We go through your history from childhood forward, how attention actually behaves in your life now, what you have already tried, sleep, stress, and anything else that could be driving the same symptoms.
Treatment may include medication when it's clinically appropriate. That decision comes after the evaluation, never before it, and it's made with you.
Common questions about ADHD
What people ask first.
Do you diagnose ADHD in adults?
Yes. Many people reach us in their twenties, thirties or later, often after a child was diagnosed and something clicked. A first diagnosis in adulthood is common and it is not too late for it to matter.
Do I need old school records?
They help, but they aren't required. ADHD begins in childhood, so we'll ask about that period. If you have report cards or old evaluations, bring them. If you don't, your memory of that time is still useful evidence.
Will I be prescribed medication?
Maybe. Medication is one of several tools, and it isn't automatic. No specific prescription is promised before an evaluation. We'll talk through what's appropriate for you and decide together.
What if it turns out not to be ADHD?
Then you'll leave with a clearer answer than you arrived with, and a plan for whatever is actually going on. Anxiety, depression, trauma and sleep problems can all look like attention problems, and several of them are very treatable.
Do you see adolescents for ADHD?
Yes. Our current focus is adolescents and adults.
