ADHD & Executive Function

Beyond Basic Medication

You’ve tried standard ADHD medications. Perhaps they helped with focus but created other problems: appetite loss, sleep issues, mood changes. Or maybe they helped somewhat, but you’re still struggling with organization, time management, and feeling overwhelmed.

ADHD is more than attention problems, and effective treatment requires more than medication alone. Our comprehensive approach addresses executive function, emotional regulation, and family support for lasting success.

You Might Need Specialized ADHD Care If:

  • Standard medications provided partial improvement but significant challenges remain
  • Multiple medication trials have failed or caused intolerable side effects
  • ADHD symptoms are complicated by anxiety, depression, or autism spectrum
  • Executive function problems persist despite medication treatment
  • Academic or work performance remains significantly impaired

Our Comprehensive Approach

Advanced Medication Management

Beyond trial-and-error prescribing:

  • Combination approaches when single medications provide partial relief
  • Non-stimulant alternatives for those unable to tolerate standard medications
  • Comorbidity management balancing ADHD with anxiety, mood, or autism needs
  • Pharmacogenomic testing when appropriate to guide medication selection

Executive Function Support

Skills that medication can’t address:

  • Comprehensive neuropsychological testing revealing specific cognitive patterns
  • Executive function coaching through Faculty Practice specialists
  • Organizational systems tailored to ADHD brain patterns
  • Academic and workplace accommodations based on testing results

Family Coaching and Support

Helping the whole family succeed:

  • Parent coaching to learn  effective ADHD management strategies
  • Family communication training reducing conflict
  • Academic support coordination through Iona McPeake
  • Support group connections with other families

Complex ADHD Presentations We Treat

  • ADHD with anxiety where stimulant medications worsen anxiety symptoms
  • ADHD with mood disorders requiring careful medication coordination
  • ADHD with autism spectrum needing specialized understanding
  • Adult ADHD diagnosis after years of being told “you can’t have ADHD”
