Does This Sound Like You?

You've Been Struggling for Years — and You're Tired of Being Told to "Just Try Harder"

If you've spent years feeling like your brain works differently from everyone else's — losing track of conversations, missing deadlines despite your best efforts, feeling overwhelmed by tasks that seem easy for others — you're not broken. You may have ADHD. And you deserve answers.

The Endless Waiting Game

You finally work up the courage to seek help, only to find psychiatrists with 4-6 month waitlists. Meanwhile, your career, relationships, and self-esteem continue to suffer. Every wasted day is another day of unrealized potential.

Dismissed by Your Doctor

You described your symptoms only to hear: "Everyone feels that way sometimes" or "You did well in school, so it can't be ADHD." Adults with ADHD are routinely misunderstood by providers who lack specialized training in attention disorders.

The 10-Minute Appointment

You finally see a provider — only to be rushed through a superficial checklist in 10 minutes. No time to explain the full picture. No comprehensive evaluation. No discussion about what treatment approach actually fits your life, goals, and concerns.

Cookie-Cutter Treatment

One prescription, zero follow-up, no personalization. Many providers hand you a stimulant and send you on your way — with no monitoring of how it's actually working, no dosage optimization, and no discussion of the holistic strategies that make medication work better.

Self-Doubt and Shame

Years of struggling without answers have left you questioning yourself: "Am I just lazy? Am I not smart enough? Why can't I just get it together?" This internal narrative is the most painful symptom of all — and it's entirely treatable once you have the right diagnosis.

Insurance Maze & Hidden Costs

Navigating insurance pre-authorizations, surprise bills, and providers who are "in-network" but never available. You shouldn't need a finance degree to access basic mental healthcare. You deserve transparent pricing and straightforward access.

If even one of these resonated with you, you're not alone. Millions of adults live with undiagnosed or poorly managed ADHD — losing years of productivity, relationships, and self-confidence to a treatable condition. It doesn't have to be this way.

The Clarity Health Difference

Healthcare Built Around You — Not Around Insurance Companies, Not Around Quotas, Not Around 10-Minute Slots

At Clarity Health PLLC, we practice healthcare the way it should be practiced: with time, attention, expertise, and genuine care for the whole person in front of us.

1

Thorough, Unhurried Evaluations

Your initial ADHD evaluation is a comprehensive 60-90 minute deep dive into your history, symptoms, life impact, and goals. We use validated clinical tools and take the time to truly understand your unique experience — because accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment.

2

Personalized Treatment Plans

No two brains are alike. Your treatment plan is custom-built based on your specific ADHD subtype, severity, co-existing conditions, lifestyle, preferences, and treatment goals. We consider medication, behavioral strategies, lifestyle modifications, and ongoing optimization.

3

Responsive, Accessible Care

Questions between appointments? We're here. Medication concerns at 7pm? You can reach us. We believe healthcare shouldn't only happen during scheduled visits — so we provide the kind of responsive communication that makes you feel truly supported.

4

Ongoing Optimization & Follow-Up

Getting the right diagnosis is step one. Achieving your best life is the ongoing journey. We schedule regular follow-ups to fine-tune your treatment, monitor progress, adjust dosing, and ensure you're not just "managing" — you're thriving.

The Clarity Health Promise

We founded Clarity Health because we believe every person deserves a healthcare provider who sees them as a whole human being — not a billing code. Our approach combines clinical rigor with genuine compassion, and we measure our success by the transformation in your daily life.

Fill out our simple intake form or call us directly. Tell us what you're experiencing and what you're hoping to achieve.

This may include medication options (with a thorough discussion of benefits, risks, and alternatives), behavioral strategies, lifestyle recommendations, and a clear follow-up schedule. You'll understand exactly what to expect, and you'll be an active partner in every decision about your care.

4

Ongoing Care & Optimization

Your journey doesn't end with a diagnosis. We schedule regular follow-ups to monitor your progress, fine-tune your treatment, and adjust as your life evolves.

This is a purpose-driven practice built to deliver genuinely excellent healthcare from someone who values relationships deeply.

Patient Stories

Real People. Real Transformations. Real Clarity.

These are the words of patients who came to us frustrated, overwhelmed, and searching for answers — and found them.

Before I found Clarity Health PLLC, I felt like I was constantly fighting my own brain. I struggled with focus, procrastination, unfinished projects, and overwhelming mental clutter. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't seem to "get it together," and it left me feeling frustrated and discouraged.

From my very first appointment, Tom made me feel understood. He listened without judgment and asked questions that helped connect dots I didn't even realize were there. When I was diagnosed with ADHD, it wasn't scary -- it was freeing. For the first time, I had an explanation. I wasn't lazy. I wasn't incapable. My brain just works differently.

Starting medication under Tom's guidance has been truly life-changing. The constant mental noise quieted. I can focus. I can follow through. I can start and finish tasks without feeling paralyzed. Everyday responsibilities feel manageable instead of overwhelming. Even my relationships and confidence have improved because I'm not constantly battling myself anymore.

Tom's care, patience, and genuine investment in my well-being made all the difference. He doesn't just prescribe medication -- he partners with you in your growth.Working with Clarity Health PLLC has been one of the most transformative decisions of my life, and I'm deeply grateful for the clarity, stability, and hope I now have moving forward.

Why Choose Clarity Health

Six Reasons Patients Choose Clarity Health Over Every Other Option

These aren't marketing talking points — they're the principles that guide every patient interaction, every treatment decision, and every aspect of how we run our practice.

Time That Respects You

Your initial evaluation is 60-90 minutes — not because we're slow, but because a proper ADHD assessment requires time. Follow-ups are as long or short as necessary. We will never rush you out the door because "the next patient is waiting." Your time with your provider is YOUR time.

Specialized ADHD Expertise

ADHD isn't just a side interest for us — it's our primary clinical focus. We stay current on the latest research, understand the nuances of adult ADHD presentation, and know how to differentiate ADHD from conditions that mimic it (anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, thyroid dysfunction, and more).

Evidence-Based Protocols

Every assessment tool we use, every medication we prescribe, and every recommendation we make is grounded in the current scientific evidence. We take inspiration from the lifechanging work of Dr. Bill Dodson and we utilize many of his carefully developed treatment plans including his rapid titration of medication plan. It doesn't take a year to get to the right dose or to realize if a certain medication isn't well suited.

Genuine Provider Relationship

You'll see the same provider every time. They'll know your history, your medications, your life context, and your goals. No repeating your story to a different person every visit. This continuity of care isn't a luxury — it's how good healthcare works.

Transparent, Honest Pricing

No surprise bills. No hidden fees. No "that's what insurance decided." We believe you deserve to know exactly what your care costs before you commit. Our pricing is clear, upfront, and competitive — because financial stress should never be a barrier to getting help.

Whole-Person Healthcare

ADHD doesn't exist in a vacuum. We screen for and address co-existing conditions like anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. We consider your nutrition, exercise, stress levels, and life circumstances. Because treating the whole person gets better results than treating a single diagnosis.

Direct Primary Care

Primary Care Without the Red Tape — Just Great Medicine at a Price You Can Understand

Our Direct Primary Care (DPC) model eliminates the insurance middleman and puts the focus back where it belongs: on your health. For a simple monthly membership fee, you get unlimited access to comprehensive primary care.

  • Unlimited visits — come in as often as you need without worrying about copays adding up
  • Same-day or next-day appointments for urgent concerns — no more waiting weeks to be seen
  • 30-60 minute appointments as your standard — because 10 minutes isn't enough time to address your health
  • Direct provider messaging — get answers to questions without scheduling an appointment
  • Preventive care, chronic disease management, acute illness — comprehensive primary care under one roof
  • Pairs perfectly with ADHD care — manage everything with one provider who knows your complete health picture

Our "Clarity Confidence" Guarantee

We understand that seeking healthcare — especially for something as personal as ADHD — requires trust. That's why we make this promise: If at any point during your initial evaluation you feel rushed, dismissed, or that your concerns aren't being heard, tell us. We will extend your appointment at no additional charge until you feel truly heard and understood.

We also promise complete transparency. Before any treatment begins, you'll understand exactly what we're recommending, why we're recommending it, what it costs, what the alternatives are, and what you can expect. No surprises. No pressure. Just clarity.

Your satisfaction with the quality and thoroughness of your care is our top priority. We stand behind every evaluation, every treatment plan, and every interaction — because our reputation is built on patients who feel genuinely well-served.

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know Before Booking

We've answered the questions patients ask most frequently. If you don't see your question here, reach out — we're always happy to help.

Is a Nurse Practitioner qualified to diagnose and treat ADHD?
Absolutely. Board-certified Nurse Practitioners (NPs) hold advanced graduate degrees (Master's or Doctorate), complete extensive clinical training, and are licensed by the state of Illinois with full prescriptive authority — including the ability to prescribe all ADHD medications. NPs undergo rigorous national certification examinations and maintain their credentials through ongoing continuing education. In Illinois, NPs practice with full practice authority, meaning they can independently diagnose, treat, and prescribe without physician oversight. Many patients find that NPs provide more thorough, more attentive, and more personalized care than they've experienced elsewhere — because our training emphasizes the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
What does the ADHD evaluation process look like?
Your evaluation begins with a comprehensive clinical interview lasting 60-90 minutes. During this time, we'll explore your current symptoms, developmental history, academic and occupational functioning, relationship impacts, emotional well-being, and treatment goals. We use validated screening instruments (such as the ASRS and CAARS) alongside clinical judgment. We'll also screen for commonly co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. After the evaluation, you'll receive a clear explanation of our findings and a personalized treatment plan — all during that same visit. There's no weeks-long wait for results.
Do you accept insurance?
Clarity Health operates on a transparent, direct-pay model. This means you pay us directly at the time of service at clearly posted rates — no insurance billing surprises, no pre-authorization delays, and no insurance company deciding what care you can receive. We can provide you with a superbill (detailed receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many patients find that the quality, accessibility, and thoroughness of our care — combined with transparent pricing — actually makes this more cost-effective than their co-pay-based experiences, especially when factoring in the time saved from shorter wait times and fewer unnecessary visits.
I'm worried about being "just put on medication." What's your approach?
Your concern is completely valid and shared by many of our patients. At Clarity Health, medication is never the automatic or only answer. We take a comprehensive approach that may include medication, behavioral strategies, lifestyle modifications, organizational techniques, and referrals for therapy when appropriate. If medication is part of your plan, we'll thoroughly discuss the options — including mechanisms of action, expected benefits, potential side effects, and alternatives. The decision to start medication is always a collaborative one. We start conservatively, monitor closely, and adjust based on your response and feedback. You will always be the primary decision-maker in your treatment.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
Most new patients are seen within a few days of their initial request — not weeks or months. We intentionally limit our patient panel to ensure we can maintain the quality of care and accessibility that our patients deserve. That said, availability can change, so we encourage you to reach out sooner rather than later to secure your preferred appointment time.
Can I be evaluated if I've never been diagnosed before?
Absolutely — in fact, many of our patients are adults seeking their first ADHD evaluation. It's extremely common for ADHD to go undiagnosed into adulthood, particularly for women and people who were "high-achieving" despite their struggles. If you've been wondering whether ADHD might explain patterns in your life — difficulty focusing, chronic disorganization, impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, relationship challenges — a comprehensive evaluation is the best first step. You don't need a referral, a prior diagnosis, or any documentation to schedule with us.
Do you offer telehealth / virtual appointments?
Yes! We offer secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth appointments for patients throughout the state of Illinois. Whether you're in downtown Chicago, rural southern Illinois, or anywhere in between — you can access the same thorough, personalized care from the comfort of your home. Telehealth is available for initial evaluations, follow-up appointments, and medication management. All you need is a stable internet connection and a private space.
What if I don't have ADHD? Will the evaluation still be valuable?
Yes — and this is important. A thorough ADHD evaluation doesn't just tell you whether you have ADHD. It often uncovers other explanations for your symptoms: anxiety disorders, depression, sleep disturbances, thyroid issues, or other conditions that can mimic ADHD. Regardless of the outcome, you'll leave with a clearer understanding of what's actually driving your symptoms and a concrete plan for addressing them. Knowledge is power, and clarity — whether it confirms ADHD or points to another answer — is always valuable.
What is Direct Primary Care, and is it right for me?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a membership-based healthcare model where you pay a monthly fee directly to your provider — bypassing insurance entirely for primary care services. In return, you get unlimited visits, longer appointments, same-day access, direct messaging with your provider, and comprehensive primary care. DPC is ideal for anyone frustrated with the traditional insurance-based healthcare experience: long waits, short appointments, impersonal care, and surprise bills. It pairs particularly well with our ADHD services, giving you one provider who manages both your mental health and physical health. It's also an excellent option for the self-employed, those with high-deductible health plans, or anyone who simply wants better access to their healthcare provider.
When will ketamine infusion therapy be available?
We're currently in the preparation phase for launching ketamine infusion therapy and expect to begin offering this service soon. We're ensuring that every aspect — from clinical protocols to patient comfort to safety monitoring to collaboration with licensed Therapists and trained Nurse Coaches — meets our exacting standards before we offer this service. Join our waitlist through the contact form below, and you'll receive priority notification and scheduling access when we launch. You'll also receive educational resources about ketamine treatment so you can make an informed decision about whether it's right for you.

Every Day You Wait Is Another Day Living Below Your Potential

ADHD doesn't improve on its own. The challenges you're facing today — the missed deadlines, the strained relationships, the chronic self-doubt — will still be there tomorrow, next month, and next year unless you take action. But the good news? Effective treatment can begin changing your life within weeks.
