Short answer: there’s no single “best” for everyone — the right service depends on your age, state, insurance, and whether you want psychotherapy + med management or only medication. That said, these telehealth providers are good places to start if you specifically want clinicians who will prescribe non‑stimulant ADHD medications (atomoxetine/Strattera, guanfacine ER/Intuniv, clonidine ER/Kapvay, viloxazine/Qelbree, bupropion off‑label, etc.):
-
Brightside Health — mental‑health focused platform that offers psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and therapy. Good for people who want coordinated CBT + medication plans and clinicians who will prescribe non‑stimulants.
-
Amwell (Behavioral Health) — connects you with board‑certified psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners across many states. Well‑established platform that commonly prescribes the full range of ADHD medications, including non‑stimulants; often accepts insurance.
-
Teladoc (Telehealth / Mental Health) — national telepsychiatry service used by many employer plans and insurers; psychiatrists on Teladoc provide medication management including non‑stimulants and can coordinate follow‑ups.
-
PlushCare — offers psychiatry visits and ongoing medication management with relatively quick access. Clinicians prescribe non‑stimulants and can coordinate therapy referrals if needed.
-
Zocdoc — not a treatment provider but a marketplace to find and book local or tele psychiatry appointments with ADHD specialists (useful if you prefer a psychiatrist who explicitly treats ADHD and prescribes non‑stimulants).
Specialized ADHD clinics to consider (verify current services in your state):
- Done ADHD — ADHD‑focused telehealth for adults; check whether they offer the specific non‑stimulant you want.
- Cerebral — has offered ADHD care including non‑stimulants; because of past regulatory/operational scrutiny, check current patient reviews and availability before committing.
How to choose and vet any service
- Confirm the prescriber type: prefer board‑certified psychiatrists for complex ADHD medication decisions (some platforms use primary care NPs/MDs who may be more limited).
- Ask explicitly whether they prescribe your preferred non‑stimulant (name the drug: atomoxetine, guanfacine ER, clonidine ER, viloxazine/Qelbree, etc.).
- Check follow‑up frequency, therapy integration, and whether they accept your insurance or offer sliding scale.
- Verify the provider is licensed in your state and read recent patient reviews.
If you tell me your state, age (adult vs child), whether you have insurance, and which non‑stimulant(s) you’re most interested in, I can recommend the best one or two services for your situation and check insurance/availability considerations.
