How we help
A thorough evaluation
History plus standard rating scales from you and, for children, parents and teachers.
Checking what else is going on
Anxiety, depression, sleep problems and learning disabilities can mimic or accompany ADHD.
Medication options
Stimulant and non-stimulant medicines, with regular checks on sleep, appetite, heart rate and blood pressure.
Skills and school support
Organization strategies, parenting support, and documentation for school accommodations when appropriate.
What to expect
- Stimulant medicines are controlled substances. Federal and New Jersey rules can require an in-person visit and regular follow-up. We explain exactly what applies before treatment starts.
- Many patients see a clear difference within the first weeks of finding the right medicine and dose.
Common questions
Do you treat adult ADHD?
Yes. Many adults were never diagnosed as children. An evaluation can tell you whether ADHD explains what you are experiencing.
Will my child need medication?
Not always. For young children, parent training is often the first step. When medication is recommended, we explain the options and decide together with you.
