Local Treatment for ADHD
What is ADHD?
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention regulation, impulse control, working memory, and executive functioning. In adults, ADHD often presents as:
Chronic procrastination
Difficulty completing tasks
Disorganization
Time blindness
Emotional reactivity
Underperformance despite high intelligence
Trouble sustaining attention in work or academic settings
Our ADHD evaluations include:
Comprehensive psychiatric assessment
Review of childhood and adult symptom history
Functional impairment analysis
Screening for anxiety, depression, trauma, and other contributing conditions
Careful differential diagnosis
We prioritize diagnostic clarity before recommending medication.
How We Evaluate ADHD
When clinically appropriate, treatment may include:
Stimulant medications (e.g., methylphenidate-based or amphetamine-based treatments)
Non-stimulant ADHD medications
Adjunctive treatments for co-occurring anxiety or mood symptoms
Medication is prescribed responsibly and monitored closely with structured follow-up appointments to ensure safety, effectiveness, and functional improvement.
Our goal is not simply symptom suppression, but improved productivity, emotional regulation, and long-term stability.
ADHD Medication Management
Many adults are diagnosed later in life after years of feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or underperforming.
We specialize in adult ADHD diagnosis and treatment, particularly for professionals, college students, and high-functioning individuals seeking clarity and structure.
In-person appointments are available in Newport Beach, with telehealth services throughout California.

It can provide additional clinical insight to support diagnostic clarity.
QbTest does not replace a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. Instead, it serves as a supplemental tool alongside clinical interview, history review, and functional assessment to help guide treatment planning.

Activity level
Results are compared to age-based normative data, which can assist in determining whether symptoms are consistent with ADHD.
