When telehealth may be appropriate

Telehealth ADHD evaluations may be appropriate for adults seeking structured clinical assessment and next-step guidance. Some patients may need additional testing or in-person care.

When to seek urgent or in-person care instead

Seek urgent or emergency care right away if you have:
  • Severe mood instability
  • Psychosis symptoms
  • Active substance misuse that interferes with assessment
  • Significant neurological symptoms
  • Safety concerns involving risk of harm

Telehealth is not a substitute for emergency care. Call 911, go to the nearest emergency room, or for mental health crises call or text 988.

What treatment may include

Care may include education, behavioral strategies, therapy or coaching referrals, follow-up visits, and medication management when appropriate. Controlled substances require careful review and may involve added monitoring or referral.

Pricing

We accept Medicare directly for psychiatry, including ADHD evaluations, and commercial insurance through Headway. Medicare patients book through the patient portal; Headway verifies commercial-plan eligibility and copay before the appointment. Book via Headway (commercial insurance) or our portal (Medicare).

Frequently asked questions

Can you diagnose ADHD online in California?

A clinician may diagnose ADHD through telehealth when clinically appropriate. Some patients may need additional assessment or in-person care.

How long does an evaluation take?

Timing varies. Some evaluations are completed in one visit; others require follow-up.

Will I get medication automatically?

No. Medication is never automatic and depends on clinician evaluation.

Do you prescribe stimulant medications?

Controlled substances are reviewed carefully and may involve added requirements.

What if my symptoms are caused by something else?

Concentration problems can be related to anxiety, depression, sleep, trauma, or other issues. Clarifying that is part of the evaluation.
