Life and Care in James Island

James Island's Fort Johnson campus is a hub for marine science, home to state, federal and College of Charleston research labs. Demanding professional work can expose ADHD that went unnoticed for years.

James Island is a primarily residential island shared by the Town of James Island, the City of Charleston and unincorporated Charleston County. Moving to a new community means leaving friends and routines behind, and building a new support network takes time.

James Island's economy centers on marine research and local services.

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.
