ADHD evaluation and care by telehealth

When focus, follow-through, or restlessness keep getting in the way at school, work, or home, the first step is understanding what is actually going on.

What an ADHD evaluation is

At Mindful Psychiatry, ADHD care begins with a comprehensive evaluation, not a quick screening. That matters because trouble concentrating can have more than one source. Sleep, anxiety, low mood, stress at work or school, and physical health can all look like attention problems from the outside. A careful evaluation looks at the whole picture before any conclusion is reached.

Who it is for

Stephanie Ball, PMHNP-BC, evaluates children age six and up as well as adults. Some people are parents noticing a pattern in a child. Others are adults who have wondered for years whether ADHD explains why some things feel harder than they should. If you tried treatment before and it did not help, that history is useful information, so bring it.

What the first visit looks like by video

Most people start with a free 15-minute consultation to see whether the practice is the right fit. The comprehensive evaluation is a full 60-minute visit by secure video, covering your history, what is happening now, and what you want to be different. You can join from anywhere in Missouri. Afterward you get diagnostic clarity, options explained in plain language, and a written plan built around your goals, followed by 30-minute check-ins as needed.

A note on medication

Treatment is individualized, and medication may or may not be part of a plan. Any prescribing decision, including controlled substances, is made only when clinically appropriate after a comprehensive evaluation and in accordance with state and federal regulations. No specific medication is promised in advance.

Insurance and booking

Self-pay and a number of insurance plans are accepted, and benefits are verified before your first visit. See the plans accepted and posted self-pay rates, then book online when you are ready.

Common questions

Before you book.

If your question is not here, book the free consultation and ask. No commitment either way.

Do you evaluate adults for ADHD, or only children?
Both. Stephanie evaluates children age six and up, teens, and adults. Care starts with a comprehensive evaluation rather than a quick screening at any age.
Will I be prescribed ADHD medication?
That cannot be decided before you are evaluated. Any prescribing decision, including controlled substances, follows a comprehensive evaluation, is made only when clinically appropriate, and follows state and federal regulations.
Can an ADHD evaluation really happen over video?
Yes. This is a telehealth practice, so the evaluation happens by secure video. You need to be located in Missouri at the time of the visit.

Healing begins with a conversation.
