ADHD Treatment in Utah (Ages 12+)
Dynamic Psychiatry and Wellness provides therapy, medication management and ADHD testing for patients age 12 and older.
We are in-network with most major insurance plans, excluding Molina. Coverage and out-of-pocket costs depend on your plan, provider and service. See Insurance Coverage.
Where to Start
You can schedule ADHD testing directly at our Lehi office without first committing to other evaluations, medication management, or therapy. You do not need to establish ongoing care with our practice before scheduling testing.
When your results are reviewed, you can discuss what they mean and whether additional evaluation or treatment would be useful.
If you prefer to begin with a psychiatric evaluation, that option is also available; testing is not required for every patient. You can also request therapy directly.
ADHD Testing (Lehi Location)
ADHD testing is available at our Lehi office.
Testing is not always required before treatment begins, but many patients choose to complete a structured cognitive assessment.
Our testing battery evaluates:
-
Attention
-
Processing speed
-
Executive functioning
-
Memory
-
Cognitive strengths
Testing helps us understand your individual learning profile, including cognitive strengths and limitations in areas such as working memory. We interpret these findings alongside your experiences to identify practical strategies, such as applying new material soon after class or adjusting the balance of verbal instruction and hands-on learning. In our clinical work, we have seen patients who believed they lacked intelligence or the ability to pay attention improve their academic performance and confidence after adapting their approach to learning. For some, the difficulty was not a lack of ability, but a mismatch between the demands of their learning environment and their individual cognitive profile.
What Is ADHD?
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention regulation, impulse control, organization, and executive functioning.
Common symptoms include:
-
Difficulty sustaining attention
-
Distractibility
-
Procrastination
-
Disorganization
-
Impulsivity
-
Restlessness
-
Emotional reactivity
ADHD can present differently in adolescents and adults and often overlaps with anxiety, depression, or trauma history.
​
Related-care information: Impulse Control Disorder Treatment and Personality Disorder Treatment. These are distinct conditions that require their own assessment.
ADHD in Adolescents and Adults
We treat ADHD in:
-
Adolescents age 12 and older
-
Adults
Adult ADHD frequently goes unrecognized and may present as chronic overwhelm, underperformance, or difficulty completing tasks despite high intelligence.
A Structured Diagnostic Approach
ADHD symptoms often overlap with other conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, and sleep disturbances.
​
Our evaluation process is designed to distinguish between these possibilities so that treatment is accurate, appropriate, and effective.
Rather than assuming a diagnosis, we focus on identifying the underlying causes of your symptoms before making treatment recommendations.
What Happens After Your Evaluation
Your care plan is based on the clinical evaluation. Existing or optional test results can provide additional information.
Care may include:
-
Medication management when appropriate
-
Therapy focused on executive function and behavioral strategies
-
Additional assessment for other conditions contributing to symptoms
Our Treatment Process
ADHD treatment begins with a comprehensive clinical evaluation. If you complete testing, your provider reviews those results as part of the evaluation.​
We assess:
-
Test results
-
Developmental history
-
Academic or occupational functioning
-
Symptom patterns
-
Co-occurring conditions
-
Prior treatment history
​
An initial in-person visit is required before stimulant medications are prescribed.
​
Treatment planning is individualized and may include therapy, medication, structured coaching, or formal testing.
Therapy and Skill Development
Medication alone does not teach executive skills.
​
Therapy may focus on:
-
Organizational systems
-
Emotional regulation
-
Time management
-
Impulse control
-
Academic or occupational strategies
For some individuals, addressing anxiety, trauma, or mood symptoms improves ADHD functioning significantly.
Medication Options for ADHD
When appropriate, medication may be part of treatment.
​
Options include:
-
Stimulant medications
-
Atomoxetine
-
Guanfacine
-
Clonidine
-
Other non-stimulant options
Medication decisions are made carefully following evaluation. Stimulant prescriptions require an initial in-person visit.
​
​Prescription monitoring and follow-up policies are part of maintaining safe and responsible stimulant treatment.

​
