Adult ADHD Care Shouldn't Be a 6-Month Wait

If you’re looking for help with ADHD, you’ve probably already hit a wall. Long waitlists. Providers who won’t talk about stimulant medication. Evaluations that don’t lead anywhere.

We built our practice to fix that. Our licensed psychiatric nurse practitioners specialize in adult ADHD — diagnosis, medication management, and ongoing care — and most patients are seen within the same week.

If medication is the right fit for you, we can start treatment quickly and adjust as needed. If it’s not, we’ll tell you that too.

Our Approach to ADHD Treatment

We treat ADHD as the priority — not an afterthought.

Many people show up after years of being told their ADHD symptoms were anxiety, depression, or just being ‘disorganized.’ We start by taking your history seriously and using validated screening tools, not assumptions.

If you’ve already been diagnosed and just need a new provider for medication management, we can pick up where your last clinician left off — including reviewing prior medications and dosing.

Medication management without the runaround.

We prescribe stimulants — Adderall, Vyvanse, Concerta, Ritalin — when they’re clinically appropriate, and non-stimulants like Strattera or Wellbutrin when those are a better fit. We explain the trade-offs in plain language so you can make an informed choice.

Once you’re stabilized, refill appointments are short and predictable. No 6-month gaps. No mystery about when you can next refill.

Before You Book

Quick answers to what most patients ask before scheduling

Do you prescribe Adderall, Vyvanse, or other ADHD medications?

Yes. Our psychiatric NPs are licensed to prescribe Schedule II stimulant medications — Adderall, Vyvanse, Concerta, Ritalin, and others — when clinically appropriate. We follow standard prescribing guidelines, which typically means an in-depth first appointment, periodic check-ins, and a clear treatment plan. We also prescribe non-stimulant options (Strattera, Wellbutrin) when those are a better fit.

Most patients book a first appointment within 2–7 days of reaching out. Availability varies by state and provider, but same-week scheduling is the norm, not the exception.

We accept most major insurers across CA, WA, AZ, and NV — Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and others. We verify your benefits before your first visit and give you a clear cost estimate up front. If you're paying out of pocket, our self-pay rates are transparent — ask when you book and we'll give you the exact amount.

Yes. A large share of patients we see are getting evaluated for ADHD as adults for the first time. Your first appointment includes a structured ADHD evaluation that draws on validated screening tools, your history, and how symptoms actually affect you day-to-day. If you meet criteria, we can begin treatment from there.

In most cases, yes. Bring records of your current diagnosis and prescription history. We’ll review at your first appointment, confirm what’s working, and continue care without making you start over from scratch.
