A compassionate, evidence-based approach to care
At Vantage Mental Health, we provide thoughtful, evidence-based care for individuals with ADHD across the lifespan. Our clinicians recognize that ADHD is not simply about “attention problems,” but involves differences in executive functioning, emotional regulation, and brain-based self-management.
Care is grounded in careful assessment, clinical expertise, and collaboration. We work with individuals to better understand how ADHD affects their daily life and to develop treatment plans that are practical, supportive, and sustainable over time.
Understanding Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition, meaning it relates to how the brain develops and functions. It primarily affects executive functioning, which includes skills such as planning, organizing, sustaining attention, regulating emotions, and controlling impulses.
ADHD is typically grouped into three presentations:
Predominantly inattentive (difficulty sustaining focus, organization, and follow-through)
Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive (restlessness, impulsive actions, difficulty slowing down)
Combined presentation, which includes features of both
ADHD is not caused by lack of motivation, intelligence, or effort. Many individuals with ADHD are highly capable, creative, and driven, but struggle with consistency, time management, and mental fatigue.
While ADHD is often diagnosed in childhood, many people are not diagnosed until adolescence or adulthood, particularly when symptoms were masked, misattributed, or misunderstood earlier in life.
Treatment Options We May Offer
Treatment for ADHD is individualized and based on clinical best practices. Depending on age, symptoms, and goals, care may include:
- Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and diagnostic assessment
- Medication management to support attention, impulse control, and emotional regulation when appropriate
- Therapy to address executive functioning skills, coping strategies, and emotional challenges
- Support for co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, or learning differences
- Ongoing monitoring and adjustment of treatment plans over time
Treatment focuses on improving daily functioning rather than changing personality or suppressing strengths.

Our Approach to Treating ADHD
Our approach to treating ADHD is individualized, collaborative, and grounded in clinical evidence. Care begins with a thorough assessment to understand symptoms, developmental history, and how ADHD affects daily life at home, school, or work.
Treatment plans are designed to support focus, organization, emotional regulation, and long-term functioning, and are adjusted over time based on response and changing needs.
Thoughtful Evaluation and Diagnosis
We take time to understand attention patterns, behavioral history, and functional challenges. Diagnosis is based on clinical assessment rather than quick screening alone.
Collaborative Treatment Planning
Treatment options are discussed clearly and collaboratively. This may include medication, therapy, or a combination of approaches depending on individual needs and preferences.
Ongoing Treatment and Support
ADHD treatment often requires regular follow-up. We provide ongoing monitoring to adjust care, address challenges, and support long-term success across life stages.
Common Symptoms and Experiences
ADHD symptoms can vary widely between individuals and may change over time. Common experiences include:
- Difficulty sustaining attention on tasks or conversations
- Trouble with organization, time management, and follow-through
- Restlessness or feeling mentally “on the go”
- Impulsivity, such as interrupting or making quick decisions
- Emotional sensitivity or difficulty regulating frustration
- Mental fatigue from sustained effort and focus
How This Condition Can Affect Daily Life
ADHD can affect many areas of daily life, including academic performance, work responsibilities, relationships, and self-esteem. Many individuals experience chronic stress from trying to meet expectations without adequate support.
Without treatment, ADHD can contribute to burnout, anxiety, depression, or difficulty maintaining routines. With appropriate care, individuals often develop strategies that improve consistency, confidence, and overall functioning.
What to Expect From Treatment
Treatment for ADHD is focused on improving daily functioning and reducing impairment. Progress often occurs gradually as individuals learn how their brain works and which supports are most effective.
Treatment plans are reviewed regularly and adapted as needs change across different life stages, environments, and responsibilities.

- Struggle with focus, organization, or impulsivity
- Feel overwhelmed by daily responsibilities despite effort
