Short answer: pick a telehealth service that offers both ADHD-focused medication management and evidence-based therapy (CBT) for anxiety — or pair a medication-focused ADHD provider with a therapist who understands adult ADHD. Good options to consider:
-
Brightside Health — strong choice if you want integrated care for anxiety and ADHD. Brightside started as a behavioral health platform (CBT-focused) and expanded to ADHD evaluation/med management, so you can get medication plus ongoing therapy and measurement-based tracking in one place.
-
Done (Done ADHD) — best if your top priority is efficient, experienced ADHD medication management (including stimulants where appropriate). Done is focused on adult ADHD and has short wait times, but it offers less integrated therapy; you may need a separate therapist for anxiety.
-
Cerebral — offers both therapy and psychiatric medication management on a subscription basis. Good if you want a one-stop service for anxiety and ADHD, but availability and services can vary by state; verify they provide ADHD stimulant prescriptions where you live.
-
Talkspace (therapy) + Talkspace Psychiatry or Amwell/Amwell Psychiatry — combine Talkspace or Amwell psychiatry (for medication/psychiatrist consult) with Talkspace or BetterHelp therapy to get a coordinated plan for anxiety + ADHD. This approach works well if you want to pick a therapist skilled in CBT for anxiety and ADHD coaching.
-
ADHD Online / ADHD-specific telepsychiatrists found via Zocdoc — if you prefer a specialist-only evaluation (often more in-depth ADHD testing) and individualized care, search for board-certified psychiatrists who advertise adult ADHD expertise; Zocdoc and private telepsychiatry clinics let you filter by specialty and state.
What to look for / ask before signing up
- Do they evaluate ADHD in adults (history, rating scales, collateral info) vs just give a quick diagnosis?
- Do they offer CBT for anxiety and/or CBT for adult ADHD (or ADHD coaching)?
- Can they prescribe stimulants in your state if you want them? (Regulations and availability vary.)
- Are prescribers psychiatrists or psychiatric nurse practitioners experienced with adult ADHD + anxiety?
- Do they accept your insurance or offer transparent pricing?
If you tell me your state, whether you want meds, therapy, or both, and whether you’ll use insurance, I can recommend the best one for your situation and check availability in your area.
