Diagnosis & Treatment
A Multi-Modal Approach to Management.
Medication Management & Therapeutic Alignment.
Our Philosophy
Our Treatment Philosophy
Effective ADHD treatment is not "one-size-fits-all." At Synergistic Psychiatry, we use a modern, evidence-based approach that views treatment as a tool to support and strengthen your natural abilities.
Care begins with a comprehensive evaluation to better understand your symptoms, strengths, and goals. Our primary intervention is medication management when clinically appropriate, supported by therapeutic guidance, education, and practical strategies designed to help you function at your best in everyday life.
Our approach includes:
- Comprehensive ADHD assessments
- Evidence-based medication management
- Personalized treatment plans
- Ongoing monitoring and optimization of treatment
- Practical strategies for focus, organization, and productivity
Methods
Pharmacology: The First Line of Defense
For many adults with ADHD, medication is the single most effective tool for symptom reduction. When dosed correctly, medication normalizes neurotransmitter function (specifically Dopamine and Norepinephrine).
Stimulant Medications
(e.g., Amphetamine or Methylphenidate products). These are often the gold standard for efficacy. However, they are prescribed only after a comprehensive safety review.
Non-Stimulant Medications
For patients who do not tolerate stimulants or prefer alternative approaches, we offer evidence-based non-stimulant options (e.g., Atomoxetine, Guanfacine) that provide 24-hour symptom coverage.
Strict Safety & Compliance Standards
As a clinical practice, patient safety is paramount. We adhere to rigorous state and federal guidelines regarding controlled substances:
PDMP Review
We mandate a review of the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program before prescribing.
Medical Record Review
We may request prior medical or psychiatric records to corroborate history.
Routine Monitoring
Stimulant treatment requires periodic follow-up appointments every 1–3 months to monitor vitals and efficacy.
No Guarantee
We do not "sell" prescriptions. Treatment decisions are based solely on clinical judgment. Requests for early refills or dose increases without evaluation will be declined.
The Role of Therapy
Pills do not teach skills. While medication quiets the noise, therapy helps you build the strategy. We provide therapeutic support within our sessions and encourage a "synergistic" relationship where we work together to tackle behavioral hurdles.
Note: For patients requiring intensive weekly psychotherapy (CBT/DBT), we can collaborate with your external therapist to ensure your medication supports your therapeutic goals.
Technology & Access
Your treatment is delivered via a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform.
Requirements
Patients must be physically located in Florida at the time of the appointment. You will need a private location, a stable internet connection, and a device with video capability.
Tech Failure Protocol
If technical issues arise, we will attempt to reconnect via video or convert to a telephone visit if clinically appropriate to ensure continuity of care.
