- Validated psychometric rating scales (ASRS, Barkley)
- Executive function & working memory assessment
- Evaluation of co-occurring anxiety or mood conditions
Personalized Management Plan:
- Carefully calibrated medication management
- Stimulant & non-stimulant pharmacotherapy options
- Executive function behavioral strategies
- Academic & workplace accommodation support letters

Genetic Biomarker Testing for Psychiatric Medications
Have you experienced failed trials or severe side effects with antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications? Pharmacogenomic testing reveals how your liver enzymes (CYP450 system) metabolize specific medications and how your neurotransmitter receptors respond.
- Quick, painless cheek swab sent to your home
- Identifies medications with high risk of adverse reactions
- Highlights medications most likely to be biologically effective
- Actionable lifetime genetic report
- Takes the guesswork out of psychiatric prescribing
- Covered by many commercial insurance providers
Neurotransmitter & Hormone Imbalance Testing
Mental health does not exist in isolation from your endocrine and nervous systems. Chronic stress, adrenal fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, and hormone fluctuations can directly mimic or exacerbate psychiatric symptoms.
- Diurnal cortisol curve & adrenal health analysis
