Comprehensive ADHD Treatment and Management via Telehealth (New York State)
Understanding ADHD
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects millions of children and adults, causing persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity. These symptoms can severely impact school, work performance, relationships, and self-esteem.
At Chanel Freeman NP in Psychiatry PLLC, we specialize in providing clear diagnoses and effective, evidence-based management for ADHD entirely through secure telehealth. We help you understand your unique challenges and build personalized strategies to improve focus, organization, and emotional regulation across New York State.
Types of ADHD We Diagnose and Treat
ADHD is typically categorized by the predominant symptoms a patient experiences. We diagnose and treat ADHD in children, adolescents, and adults. We provide targeted care for all presentations:
Predominantly Inattentive Presentation:
Difficulty sustaining attention, following instructions, staying organized, and often losing things. This presentation is sometimes referred to as ADD.
Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation:
Excessive movement, fidgeting, talking, interrupting others, and difficulty waiting for one's turn.
Combined Presentation:
The most common form, where individuals exhibit both significant inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms.
Our Integrated Treatment Approach
Effective ADHD management requires a multi-modal strategy. Our three-pillar model is customized to stabilize core symptoms and foster essential life skills.
1. Medication Management (Pharmacotherapy)
Medication is a highly effective tool for regulating the neurochemical systems related to attention and impulse control.
-
Comprehensive Evaluation: A thorough diagnostic process to determine if medication is appropriate and to rule out other co-occurring conditions (like anxiety or depression).
-
Targeted Prescribing: Management of stimulant and non-stimulant medications to find the optimal combination that minimizes side effects while maximizing focus and executive function.
-
Continuous Monitoring: Regular check-ins via telehealth to assess efficacy, adjust dosages, and ensure treatment remains aligned with your goals.
2. Psychoeducation and Brief Psychotherapy
Therapeutic coaching focuses on concrete strategies to overcome the daily functional deficits caused by ADHD.
-
Organizational Skill Training: Developing systems for time management, prioritizing tasks, and reducing clutter.
-
Coping Strategies: Learning techniques for emotional regulation, managing frustration, and reducing impulsive behaviors.
-
Parent/Family Guidance: For children and adolescents, we provide critical support and education to parents and caregivers to create a structured and supportive home environment.
3. Lifestyle and Wellness Modifications
Integrating positive habits is essential for long-term symptom control and overall well-being.
-
Sleep Optimization: Guidance on establishing strict sleep hygiene, as poor sleep severely exacerbates ADHD symptoms.
-
Physical Activity: Recommendations for exercise proven to positively affect neurotransmitters involved in attention and focus.
-
