Pediatric and adult ADHD treatment in
Tribeca, NYC
ADHD treatment that accounts for the whole person
We offer a radically different kind of ADHD treatment - the one that sees you and understands you for who you are.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder looks different at every age. Whether your child is struggling in school or you are an adult who has spent years wondering why focus feels impossible, an accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment can change the trajectory.
What is ADHD?
ADHD is one of the most common and well-studied psychiatric diagnoses, yet it remains widely misunderstood. It involves differences in how the brain regulates attention, impulse control, and activity level and those differences are neurobiological, not a matter of willpower.
ADHD is diagnosed across three presentations: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, and combined. The inattentive type is frequently missed, especially in girls and adults, because it does not look like the stereotypical picture of a child who cannot sit still.
ADHD frequently co-occurs with anxiety, depression, learning differences, and sleep difficulties. Effective treatment addresses all of these together.
Our Approach: Evaluation and treatment, integrated
A diagnosis is only useful if it leads somewhere. Dr. Thein's approach combines a rigorous diagnostic process with treatment planning that reflects the full clinical picture — including co-occurring conditions, family context, and individual goals.
-
A thorough clinical interview covering developmental history, current symptoms, functional impairment across settings, and ruling out alternative diagnoses. For children, input from parents and, when relevant, teachers is incorporated.
-
Before any treatment decision, we ensure patients and families understand what ADHD is neurobiologically, how it manifests in this particular person, and how various psychosocial factors influence the pressentation.
-
Treatment is not one-size-fits-all. We discuss medication, behavioral strategies (including executive functioning coach) , psychotherapy, school or workplace accommodations, and any co-occurring conditions that need to be addressed.
-
Regular follow-up to assess treatment response, adjust medication if needed, and adapt the plan as circumstances change, particularly important during developmental transitions.
