From thorough ADHD testing to treatments and strategies to ADHD medication management, our holistic approach combines psychiatric expertise with practical tools for real positive progression in school, work, relationships, and daily life functioning.

ADHD Treatment for Children

More than an estimated ten percent of American children have received an ADHD diagnosis—approximately seven million kids—with likely millions more remaining undiagnosed. These staggering numbers can sometimes lead to viewing ADHD as merely a systemic issue rather than recognizing it as a very real challenge for the kids it affects. When left unaddressed, ADHD can have devastating effects on a child’s academic success and social development, fundamentally altering their educational experience and personal relationships during crucial developmental years.

An ADHD diagnosis is incredibly valuable in many ways. It provides context for you and your child, so you can decide what your next move should be. Beyond explaining challenges, proper testing validates your child’s experience and qualifies them for school accommodations in many school districts. These formal supports ensure teachers understand your child’s needs and implement proven strategies for success. 

ADHD Treatment for Adults

At [practice name], we understand that adult ADHD impacts relationships, career goals, and overall well-being. Our treatment approach combines evidence-based medication management with practical life strategies and personalized coaching to address the full spectrum of your challenges. 

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, undiagnosed, or have dealt with it for years, we will work collaboratively with you to develop sustainable solutions that enhance focus, organization, and emotional regulation.

Do You Grow Out of ADHD?

No, ADHD doesn’t disappear in adulthood — though it will likely affect you in different ways. As you evolve, it will also evolve, requiring sophisticated approaches that respect your experience and autonomy. Our integrative treatment philosophy combines medical expertise with wellness strategies that address the whole person, not just symptoms.

ADHD Testing and Diagnosis

ADHD testing isn’t just about confirming an ADHD diagnosis — it’s about providing answers. At Strong Mind Psychiatry, we take this responsibility seriously, offering thorough assessments for both children and adults in a comfortable and supportive environment. Our comprehensive assessment process cuts through confusion for both children and adults who may have struggled for years without understanding why. 

For many patients, this clarity brings tremendous relief. With an accurate diagnosis in hand, effective treatment becomes possible, transforming frustration into focused solutions and renewed confidence.

ADHD Medication Management

Used to address the neurochemical imbalances that affect attention, impulse control, and executive functioning, the right medication can be a highly effective tool against ADHD symptoms. At Strong Mind Psychiatry, we take a thoughtful, individualized approach to ADHD medication, beginning with a thorough evaluation to determine if medication is appropriate, then carefully selecting the right medication based on symptom profiles, medical history, and lifestyle factors. 

We prioritize ensuring that you, as a patient or parent or guardian, understand exactly how medications work and what to expect: from potential benefits and side effects to monitor.  Through follow-up appointments, we fine-tune dosages and make adjustments as needed. With ADHD medication management, we strive for the optimal balance of minimizing unnecessary medication while maximizing benefits.
