How the ADHD Treatment Process Works

1. Reach Out to Us

Getting started is simple. You can contact us through our website or by emailing our team directly. If you’d like, you’re also welcome to take our quick 2-minute ADHD screener on the website.  It’s a helpful first step to see if testing may be right for you or your child.

2. Determine Your Needs

Our team will connect with you to learn more about your concerns and what support you’re looking for, whether it’s for yourself or your child. This helps us make sure the process is personalized to your unique situation.

3. Schedule Your Intake Session

We’ll set up an intake appointment with one of our ADHD testing clinicians. During this session, we’ll talk through symptoms, history, and goals to get the full picture for either a child or adult assessment.

4. Complete Assessments & QbCheck

You’ll complete assessments that match your (or your child’s) specific symptoms and concerns. We’ll also schedule a QbCheck objective test, which provides measurable data to support the evaluation process.

5. Review Results & Create a Plan

Once testing is complete, we’ll meet with you to go over the results. If a diagnosis is determined, we’ll discuss next steps.  All of which are available right here at Thrive! These may include:

  • Medication management with one of our providers
  • Therapy focused on ADHD treatment and any other concerns you’d like to address
  • Additional resources and supports, including our What’s Next ADHD Guide

6. Begin Ongoing ADHD Treatment

Treatment at Thrive is designed to be practical, supportive, and custom-tailored to best meet the needs of each individual or family. This may include:

  • Skill-building strategies for focus, organization, time management, and reducing procrastination
  • Therapy sessions that address emotional regulation, self-esteem, and the unique challenges of living with ADHD
  • Parent guidance and family support to help children thrive at home and school
  • Collaboration with schools, families, or other providers when needed, so care feels consistent and supported across settings
  • Medication management (if chosen) paired with therapy for the best outcomes
     

Whether you’re an adult learning new tools for work and daily life, or a caregiver supporting your child’s success, our goal is to help you not only manage ADHD symptoms, but also build confidence and create meaningful, lasting change.
