Diagnostic clarity comes first
Mental health symptoms can have overlapping medical, developmental, psychological, family, school, and environmental causes. We take time to understand the complete picture before recommending treatment.
With your permission, your psychiatrist may review records and collaborate with your pediatrician or primary care physician, therapist, school, and other professionals involved in your care. Standardized assessment forms, laboratory work, diagnostic testing, or referrals for additional evaluation may be recommended when clinically appropriate.
A thorough, two-part initial evaluation
Your initial psychiatric evaluation is completed over two appointments:
A 60-minute comprehensive psychiatric and medical evaluation
A 30 to 40-minute follow-up appointment to complete the assessment, discuss diagnostic findings, answer questions, and develop your treatment plan
This process allows your psychiatrist to understand not only current symptoms, but also medical and developmental history, family history, previous treatment, daily functioning, relationships, school or work concerns, sleep, nutrition, and other factors that may be affecting your well-being.
Personalized treatment, not a one-size-fits-all prescription
Medication is one treatment option, not the only one. Depending on your needs, your individualized plan may include psychotherapy, behavioral strategies, parent or family guidance, school coordination, executive-function support, changes related to sleep, nutrition, physical activity, and stress, and medication when appropriate.
Ongoing appointments are generally 30 to 40 minutes, giving your psychiatrist time to assess progress, monitor medication effectiveness and side effects, address new concerns, and adjust your treatment plan as your needs evolve.

Individual, Couples, and Family Therapy
We offer individual, couples, and family therapy and a wide range of groups.
Individual and/or group therapy will help facilitate new skills, develop strategies to manage symptoms, and further understand how your symptoms impact you and your family. The utilization of a clear behavioral plan with reinforcement at school that is implemented in a kindly manner can enhance an ADHD student's ability to learn. A behavioral plan in the classroom can not only teach desired behaviors, but provide the child with a structure within which s/he can perform well.
Parents that need more intensive help than that which can be provided by parent training classes may find a family therapist useful. Many parents have a need for emotional support beyond just receiving accurate and detailed educational information. A family therapist can play a fundamental role in sorting through issues and maintaining positive relationships within the family system.
We work with couples who want to restore connection and learn new ways to handle challenges they navigate in their relationship and life together. When one or both partners have ADHD or are parenting a child with ADHD, it’s helpful to understand how specific challenges can contribute to cycles of disconnection.
Executive Functions & Parent Coaching
Coaching is an intervention that complements medication and other non-pharmacologic alternatives.
As a specialty within the broader field of coaching, Executive Functions Coaching is a practical intervention that specifically targets the core impairments of ADHD such as planning, time management, goal setting, organization and problem solving.
At ADI Health we also offer parent coaching. Kate works simultaneously and/or exclusively with parents alongside other providers to better understand and communicate the needs of their child, navigate school systems, help their child cope with ADHD as well as other conditions, and more.
