"I was told I'd grow out of it — and I didn't."
Diagnosed as a kid, unmedicated as an adult, and now realizing the executive-function issues never actually left. Common. Treatable.

- ✓ Medication & non-medication options
- ✓ Most seen within one week
Who we see
Most of our ADHD patients arrive with one of these stories.
"I got through school on adrenaline. Work broke me."
Late-discovered ADHD is especially common in high-achieving adults. The structure of school masked it; an open calendar exposes it.
"I think I have it. I've never been evaluated."
We do comprehensive adult evaluations — including objective cognitive testing, not just a symptom checklist. Insurance-covered.
"My current meds don't feel right."
Wrong dose, wrong compound, wrong timing — one of the three is almost always the issue. Optimization is our craft.
"It's ADHD plus anxiety plus trauma."
Comorbidity is the rule, not the exception. We treat the whole picture.
"I'm postpartum / perimenopausal and everything fell apart."
Hormonal shifts unmask ADHD for many women. You're not imagining it. We hear it every week.
The evaluation
A real evaluation — not a 20-minute checklist.
Diagnosis matters. We take the time to get it right — and to rule out (or name) what else is going on.
- 01myJourney intake at homeMedical, psychiatric, developmental, family history. Daily patterns. Sleep, substances, stressors. 20–30 min.
- 02Medical Historian SessionA 30–60 min call with our clinical team before your first visit — so your provider walks in already knowing your story.
- 0360-minute first visit, in personWe go through your story, discuss differential diagnoses, and sketch a plan together.
- 04Treatment beginsMedication (if indicated), therapy, or both. Medication or a non-medication path — your choice, made together.
- 05Ongoing optimizationFirst follow-up at 2–4 weeks. Dose adjustments, side-effect review, and longer-arc planning. Not a one-and-done.
Treatment
We work with every tool — responsibly.
There is no single right answer for ADHD. Matching the approach, dose, and schedule to your life is the work. Here's how we think about treatment when it fits.
First-line options
Well-established for most adults.
- Evidence-based options, individualized to you
- Formulations matched to your day
- Dose refined over your first few visits
We work carefully — CURES-checked, minimum effective dose, open conversations about sleep, appetite, and cardiovascular health.
Alternative options
When the first approach isn't the fit.
- Alternative options when indicated
- Tailored to your history and goals
- Helpful with co-occurring depression
Useful for patients with anxiety, cardiovascular concerns, substance history, or side-effect sensitivity.
Non-medication
Not everyone wants medication.
- Sleep protocol & circadian repair
- Executive-function coaching referrals
- Lifestyle psychiatry (movement, nutrition, caffeine)
- Therapy integration
Some patients choose to try non-medication approaches first, or alongside. We support that.

FAQ
ADHD, specifically.
The questions we hear on nearly every intake call.
Do you offer medication for ADHD?
Yes, when appropriate. We're a California-licensed practice and follow CURES and standard responsible-care protocols. Treatment is individualized to you, with options discussed openly at your visit.
I was diagnosed as a child. Can you continue my treatment?
Yes. Bring your records. We still require one comprehensive intake (for safety and continuity), and then we can continue your care — usually without any interruption.
I've never been evaluated. Can you diagnose me?
Yes — this is a large portion of our practice. A comprehensive adult ADHD evaluation includes myJourney history, a Medical Historian Session, and a 60-minute clinical visit, and ruling out other causes of attention/executive-function symptoms (sleep disorders, thyroid, trauma, anxiety, depression, etc.).
How soon does treatment start?
For most patients, we begin treatment (if indicated) at the first visit or shortly after. We then schedule a 2–4 week follow-up to assess response and refine the plan.
What if I'd rather not start with the standard first-line medication?
Totally fine. We often start with alternative options or non-medication approaches — especially with co-occurring anxiety or a personal/family history that makes the usual first step the wrong one.
Does insurance cover ADHD evaluation and treatment?
For in-network patients (Anthem, Aetna, most BCBS): yes — psychiatric evaluation and ongoing care are covered benefits. We verify your specific copay and deductible before intake.
What is Creyos?
Creyos is a validated online cognitive assessment measuring attention, working memory, planning, and reasoning. We use it with established patients when clinically indicated — it is not part of the initial evaluation.
What patients say
Adults who finally got the right plan.
Not a 20-minute checklist — a real evaluation and a long-term relationship.

★★★★★
“Ravi saved my life. I’m not the type of person prone to hyperbole, so I don’t make that statement lightly. He takes a methodical approach, with a strong concern for not creating any harm.”
★★★★★
“Dr. Hariprasad changed my life. He adjusted to meet my extremely busy schedule with in-person and video appointments. Very highly recommended, without reservation.”
