Adult ADHD • Southlake
Explore adult ADHD evaluation and diagnosis at our Southlake office, what treatment may include, and how to get started with the right clinician.
Looking for an adult ADHD evaluation or help with an existing diagnosis? Start by exploring our adult ADHD service, meeting our clinicians, and asking the office about appointment options. In-person care is available at our Southlake office, with secure telehealth for adults physically located in Texas.
Before arranging a clinical visit, confirm clinician availability, insurance participation, and any self-pay fees with our office. An optional 15-minute introductory call is for questions about getting started; it is not an ADHD evaluation and does not include diagnosis, treatment, or prescribing.
Review our insurance and self-pay information, then ask our office about psychiatrist appointments and confirm coverage for your specific plan, clinician, and service. Insurance participation, benefits, and out-of-pocket costs can vary; verify them before scheduling.
An initial adult ADHD evaluation at SLS Psychiatry is 60 to 75 minutes, in person at our Southlake office or by secure Texas telehealth — your choice. Inside the visit the provider goes through current symptoms, developmental and school history, work history, family history, prior treatments, sleep, substance use, and validated rating scales when appropriate. A meaningful portion of the conversation is spent on what is *not* ADHD — anxiety, depression, sleep apnea, thyroid problems, alcohol or stimulant use, and chronic stress can all produce attention difficulties that look identical from the outside. Untangling them is the actual work.
When clinically appropriate and only for eligible patients, optional provider-directed Creyos digital cognitive assessments may be used to support the clinical evaluation. These do not diagnose ADHD on their own and are not required.
If a diagnosis of adult ADHD is confirmed, treatment is built around what your day in Southlake actually looks like, not a generic protocol. That may include medication management with stimulant or non-stimulant options, behavioral and organizational strategies, sleep optimization, and psychoeducation about executive functioning. Treatment recommendations are made only after clinical evaluation, and no specific medication is guaranteed.
Controlled substances such as stimulant medications are never automatic. Whether a stimulant is appropriate, and what monitoring would be required, are conversations that happen during the evaluation, not before it. Follow-ups are typically every 1 to 3 months once stable, sooner during a medication change. We are happy to coordinate with a Southlake-area primary care provider with your written consent.
Anxiety and sleep difficulties can also affect attention. An evaluation considers your symptoms, history, and other possible contributors; a self-check alone cannot determine the cause.
If you have a previous ADHD diagnosis, ask our office about transferring care and which records to bring to an initial visit. You can also explore our medication management service for information about ongoing psychiatric care.
Our office is at 305 Miron Drive, Southlake, TX 76092. Confirm your appointment before traveling and ask our office about parking, accessibility, and arrival instructions. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 7 PM, by appointment only.
We accept UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, Medicare (verify specific plan participation), and Curative (eligible plans). Coverage and cost-sharing vary by plan, member eligibility, clinician, and service. Verify your benefits before your first visit. Self-pay rates are listed on the insurance page. If ongoing therapy or executive-function coaching is what would actually help, we will be straightforward about referring you to a Southlake-area therapist or coach. SLS Psychiatry focuses on evaluation and medication management; we do not provide standalone ongoing therapy.
