How is ADHD One different from other providers in Tempe?

We specialize in ADHD -- it is not a side service for us. Our providers see ADHD patients every day and know exactly what to look for. Tempe patients get same-week scheduling, no referral requirements, and follow-up care that does not disappear after the first prescription.

Is ADHD treatment covered by my insurance in Arizona?

We work with most major insurance carriers across Valley of the Sun. Your ADHD check-up and follow-up visits are covered under your Arizona mental health benefit at your standard copay rate. Tempe patients without insurance can use our transparent self-pay pricing.

What happens if my check-up in Tempe does not show ADHD?

Not every Tempe check-up leads to an ADHD diagnosis, and that is completely fine. The goal is accurate answers for Valley of the Sun patients. If your symptoms point to another condition, your provider explains their findings and helps you find the right treatment.

Can Tempe residents schedule directly without a referral?

No. Tempe patients can self-refer and schedule directly. Many people in Valley of the Sun come to us specifically because they do not want to wait for a referral from their primary care provider. Just book online -- it takes about 60 seconds.

How do ADHD video appointments work for Tempe residents?

Every appointment for Tempe residents happens via secure, HIPAA-compliant video. You get the same thorough check-up you would get sitting in an office -- without the commute across Valley of the Sun. All you need is a private space and an internet connection.

ADHD Treatment in Tempe, AZ

Tempe is a college town that never really stops moving. Arizona State University brings in over 70,000 students every year, but the city is more than a campus. It is a hub for tech workers, young professionals, and creative types -- people whose careers depend on sustained focus, clear thinking, and consistent follow-through. If you have ADHD and you live in Tempe, you are trying to keep up with one of the most fast-paced environments in the Valley.

Here is what makes ADHD especially tricky in a place like Tempe: the city rewards exactly the kind of high-energy, novelty-seeking behavior that ADHD brains are wired for. You might thrive during the exciting parts -- new projects, brainstorming sessions, the rush of a deadline. But the boring-but-essential stuff? Paying rent on time, answering emails, finishing assignments before the last possible minute? That is where ADHD quietly destroys your momentum.

ADHD on Campus and Beyond

ASU is one of the largest universities in the country, and a significant number of students there have ADHD -- diagnosed or not. College is often where ADHD symptoms become impossible to ignore. The structure of high school is gone. Nobody is reminding you about due dates. Your parents are not waking you up for class. And suddenly, the coping strategies that barely worked before completely fall apart.

But ADHD does not disappear after graduation. The professionals working at Tempe Town Lake offices, the entrepreneurs on Mill Avenue, the engineers at the research park -- many of them are dealing with the same attention and executive function challenges, just in a different context. Missed deadlines become missed promotions. Forgotten tasks become lost clients.

Getting a proper evaluation is the first step toward changing that pattern.

What a Real ADHD Evaluation Looks Like

Your first appointment at ADHD One is a comprehensive clinical evaluation, not a quick screening quiz. It takes about 45 to 60 minutes and covers:

Attention and focus patterns -- what grabs your attention, what loses it, and how that affects your daily functioning
Executive function -- planning, organizing, prioritizing, and starting tasks
Emotional regulation -- frustration tolerance, mood swings, rejection sensitivity
Lifetime history -- ADHD does not start in college, even if that is when you first noticed it
Differential diagnosis -- making sure it is actually ADHD and not anxiety, depression, or something else mimicking the symptoms

If ADHD is confirmed, your provider works with you on a treatment plan. For most adults, medication is part of that plan -- but which medication depends on your symptoms, your medical history, and your goals. Stimulants work well for many people. Non-stimulants are better for others. Your provider will explain the options and help you decide.

Built for Busy Schedules

If you are a student juggling classes and a part-time job, or a professional who cannot afford to take a half-day off for an appointment, we get it. Same-week scheduling means you are not waiting months to be seen. And appointments are designed to fit into your life, not the other way around.

Follow-up visits after your initial evaluation are shorter -- typically 15 to 20 minutes -- and focused on making sure your treatment is working. Dose adjustments, side effect management, and medication refills are handled during these check-ins.

Tools Beyond Medication

For students and professionals who want a deeper understanding of how their brain works, we offer Creyos cognitive testing. It measures attention, working memory, and processing speed -- giving you and your provider concrete data to track treatment progress over time. We also offer GeneSight testing to match you with medications based on your genetic profile.
