Life and Care in Charleston

Charleston is a college city, home to the College of Charleston, with more than 11,000 students, and The Citadel. College is often when ADHD becomes hard to manage, as structure falls away and demands rise, and we see students 18 and older by video between classes.

Joint Base Charleston serves more than 90,000 service members, civilians, family members and retirees across the metro. Adults in military families juggle shifting routines, which can make untreated ADHD harder to manage.

Tourism employed a record 54,900 people across the Charleston region in 2024, many of them in restaurants and hotels with late and irregular hours.

Charleston's economy centers on tourism and hospitality, aerospace and the port and logistics.

How ADHD Evaluation and Treatment Works

Your first visit is a full evaluation by secure video. Your provider reviews your symptoms, your history back to childhood, how attention problems affect your work and home life, and other conditions that can look like ADHD, such as anxiety, depression and poor sleep.

If you have not completed a formal ADHD evaluation or testing before, our practice requires objective ADHD testing before ADHD treatment can begin. The testing is a separate computerized assessment of the three core symptoms of ADHD: attention, activity and impulsivity. It is completed online as part of your evaluation, usually before your virtual visit with your provider, on a third-party, web-based, FDA-cleared ADHD assessment platform. It gives your provider objective data from validated testing to aid the diagnosis, but on its own it is not enough to diagnose ADHD. ADHD testing is self-pay and not covered by insurance; our front desk will tell you the cost when you schedule. Your visits with your provider may be billed to your insurance according to your plan benefits.

Treatment is built with you and can include medication when clinically appropriate, counseling for organization and coping strategies, and regular follow-up.

Insurance and Scheduling

We accept Medicare, most major commercial plans, and all South Carolina Medicaid managed care plans except Select Health (First Choice). New patients are often able to be scheduled within a week of requesting an appointment.
