Adult ADHD Care for Lexington Adults, by Telehealth

Telehealth care for adults anywhere in Massachusetts · (617) 318-8557

Adults in Lexington often reach out about ADHD for one of two reasons. Some were diagnosed as children, stopped treatment at some point, and are now wondering whether ADHD still explains their difficulties. Others were never evaluated and are noticing that focus and organization have become harder as responsibilities grow. Both questions deserve a careful, unhurried look.

Daniel Ackroyd, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who has cared for adults in Massachusetts since 2014. He provides adult ADHD evaluation and medication management through secure telehealth to adults located in Massachusetts, including residents of Lexington.

Reassessing a Childhood ADHD Diagnosis

ADHD symptoms can change with age. Hyperactivity often becomes less visible, while inattention, disorganization, and difficulty with time can persist in new forms: managing a career, a household, or caregiving. If you were diagnosed when you were younger, an adult evaluation looks at how symptoms show up now and what kind of support makes sense today. Bring any old records or report cards you have. They can help.

First-Time Adult Evaluation

If you've never been evaluated, the process covers your current symptoms, childhood history, daily functioning, and other conditions that can resemble ADHD, such as anxiety, depression, or poor sleep. The aim is accuracy rather than a predetermined answer. Read about the adult ADHD evaluation →

Treatment Options

When ADHD is diagnosed, treatment is individualized. It may include:

  • Medication management with stimulant or non-stimulant options when clinically appropriate, with regular monitoring. Details →
  • Therapy referral for skills-based or supportive work
  • Practical structure around sleep, exercise, and routines

Coming Back to Treatment After a Break

Some adults stopped ADHD treatment in college or early adulthood and now want to revisit it. That's common. Your history, what did and didn't help before, and your current goals all shape a fresh plan rather than simply restarting an old one.

Insurance

Blue Cross Blue Shield, Harvard Pilgrim, Optum, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Aetna, and Tufts are accepted. Coverage varies, so please confirm telehealth benefits with your plan. New Medicaid, MassHealth, and Medicare patients are not being accepted at this time.
