Here's How We Treat ADHD
ADHD looks different in every person. Dr. Knightly reviews your history, symptoms, and how ADHD is affecting your work, school, or daily life - then builds a plan around you. We treat both teens and adults.
01
Clear Diagnosis
Confirms ADHD, identifies the subtype, and rules out conditions that can look similar.
02
Therapy & Skills Training
Behavioral strategies to build focus, organization, and follow-through that medication alone won't fix.
03
Careful Management
Stimulant and non-stimulant options started low, monitored for sleep, appetite, and response.
04
Real-World Support
School and workplace accommodation coordination when needed.
05
Follow-Up That Tracks Progress
Symptom tracking at every check-in to measure whether the plan is actually working.
ADHD Options
Your plan is built around your symptoms, history, and what's getting in the way:
- Comprehensive Evaluation - 60–90 minute assessment to confirm diagnosis and identify any overlapping conditions.
- Medication Management - Stimulant and non-stimulant options, started low, monitored for sleep, appetite, and response.
- Coaching & Skills Training - Behavioral support to build focus, organization, and follow-through.

What Patients Want to Know
What am I going to get?
A 60–90 minute clinician-led ADHD evaluation, a confirmed diagnosis, and a written treatment plan covering medication, behavioral strategies, and any referrals or accommodations needed. You'll leave with a clear picture of what's driving your symptoms and exactly what we're doing about it.
How much will it cost?
We accept most major insurers and verify your benefits before your first visit. Most ADHD evaluations and medication management visits are covered. We'll give you exact costs upfront - no surprises.
How little of my time will it take?
Your first visit is 60–90 minutes. Follow-up appointments are shorter and can be done via telemedicine, so there's minimal disruption to your schedule.
How little hassle will it be?
We handle insurance verification, prior authorizations for medications, and any coordination with your school, employer, or other providers. You focus on getting better - we handle the admin.
How little risk is involved?
Any medication is started at the lowest effective dose and titrated carefully. We monitor for side effects including sleep and appetite at every follow-up. If something isn't working, we adjust quickly.
What if I have other questions?
Bring them to your evaluation; we set aside time specifically for questions. You'll also leave with written next steps so nothing gets lost.
