Why Proactive Psychiatry Stands Out in ADHD Care
In today’s world, it’s easier than ever to get ADHD care thanks to platforms like Klarity, Done, ADHD Online, Mentavi, Talkiatry, and Cerebral. These services offer convenience, quick appointments, and easy access to prescriptions.
But if you’ve ever used one, you probably know that the experience can feel transactional, rushed, and incomplete.
ADHD is a complex condition that impacts every area of life, and it requires a comprehensive approach to truly make a difference. That’s why I’ve built my integrative psychiatric practice in Washington, D.C., to offer something better:
I offer personalized, holistic care that prioritizes you as a person, not just a diagnosis.
1. Consistency and Access, with Me
Most online ADHD platforms emphasize speed. They’re built to get you in and out fast—often offering a brief questionnaire or a less than 15-minute appointment with a provider you’ll never see again. But ADHD treatment requires depth, not speed.
I dedicate up to 75+ minutes to initial appointments, diving deep into your medical history, lifestyle, and goals. Follow-up appointments are thorough and allow us to adjust your treatment plan as needed.
With platforms like ADHD Online, Klarity or Done, it can feel like you’re on a conveyor belt. You’re paired with a random provider, handed a prescription, and sent on your way. I know I've worked for some of these companies, it's more about money than anything!
I promise, you’ll work with one consistent, licensed provider (that’s me!) who knows your story and cares about your success.
You'll also have direct access to me with email, text, and phone for refills, questions, and whatever may come up.
I offer two pricing tiers:
Proactive Express℠ | Proactive Complete℠ | |
Follow-up Length | 20 minutes | 25-50 minutes |
Features | Concise med-management | Comprehensive treatment |
Follow-up Price | $175* | $249+* |
*May be reimbursable with your insurance. I offer out-of-network claim submission on your behalf! You can submit a form here for us to check it out!
More pricing and option information can be found on my website here.
2. I’m a Licensed, Experienced Professional (I have ADHD, too!)
Not all ADHD care is created equal. Some telehealth platforms rely on providers who are not specifically trained for mental health or ADHD - often with no or minimal oversight.
In some cases, you might not even meet with a medical professional—your care could be dictated by an automated form.
I'm a licensed psychiatric nurse practitioner (DNP) with years of experience in ADHD treatment. I bring a high level of expertise and knowledge to every appointment. Oh, and I have ADHD too, so I know how it is.
And unlike providers on other online platforms who may rotate frequently, I’m here for the long haul. You’ll never have to reintroduce yourself or explain your history again.
3. What Is Integrative Psychiatry?
ADHD is about more than just taking a pill—it’s a condition that affects your entire life. That’s where integrative psychiatry comes in.
Integrative psychiatry blends the best of traditional medicine with evidence-based holistic treatments to support your mind and body as a whole. At Proactive Psychiatry, this means:
• Medication Management: Yes, medication is a key part of ADHD treatment, but it’s not the only part. I’ll work with you to find the right prescription that fits your needs while keeping the door open to alternative options.
• Lifestyle Optimization: ADHD is heavily influenced by your daily habits. Together, we’ll develop strategies to improve your sleep, nutrition, exercise, and time management.
• Therapy Integration: ADHD doesn’t just affect focus—it impacts emotions, relationships, and self-esteem. Whether it’s behavioral strategies or therapy referrals, I ensure you’re supported emotionally as well as medically.
• Natural Neurotransmitter Support: Supplements, such as omega-3s or magnesium, can enhance dopamine and norepinephrine balance. I help you navigate these options safely and effectively.
Unlike other online telehealth platforms, which often focus exclusively on medication, Proactive Psychiatry provides a truly holistic approach to your care.
4. Hybrid Model: Virtual and In-Person Care for ADHD and More in Washington, DC
Convenience matters. That’s why most of my appointments are virtual, allowing you to access care from the comfort of your home. But sometimes, a face-to-face conversation can make all the difference.
I offer a hybrid care model, meaning you have the option for in-person visits if you need them. This flexibility ensures you’re getting the best care, however you prefer to receive it.
Platforms like ADHD Online or Cerebral can’t offer this—they’re 100% virtual. And while virtual care is convenient, the ability to meet in person when necessary adds a level of depth and personalization that’s hard to beat.
5. Out-of-Network, But Worth It for ADHD Treatment
Let’s talk dollars and cents. Yes, my practice is out-of-network, but that doesn’t mean it’s out of reach. Most of my patients can get reimbursed through their insurance, and my pricing is competitive when you consider the level of care you’re receiving.
Platforms like Done or Mentavi might seem cheaper upfront, but their narrow scope often requires additional services (and costs) down the line. With me you’re getting a comprehensive plan from day one—no hidden fees, no extra steps.
Investing in your health is one of the best decisions you can make, and I promise your investment will pay off.
6. ADHD Is a Journey, Not a Checkbox
Here’s the truth: ADHD isn’t something you diagnose once and forget about. It’s a lifelong journey, and your needs will evolve over time.
Unfortunately, many telehealth platforms treat ADHD like a box to check off. You fill out a form, get a diagnosis, and maybe receive a prescription—but then what? There’s little follow-up, minimal guidance, and no real support for the challenges you’ll face day-to-day.
I’m here for the long haul. I don’t just diagnose and treat ADHD—I help you navigate the ups and downs of living with it. From creating routines that work for you to addressing emotional barriers, my goal is to empower you to thrive.
7. Why Choose Me as your Provider for ADHD?
If you want fast, impersonal care, other platforms might get the job done. But if you’re looking for:
• Personalized, comprehensive treatment that addresses all aspects of your life
• More time and attention from a consistent, licensed provider
• A holistic, integrative approach to ADHD care
• The flexibility of virtual and in-person appointments
• A provider who actually cares about your long-term success
…then Proactive Psychiatry is the right choice for you.
