Short answer: there isn’t one single “best” service for everyone — it depends on your age, state, insurance and whether you want a psychiatrist (better for medication management) or a primary-care teleprovider. That said, these established telehealth services are good places to look when you want providers who commonly evaluate ADHD and prescribe non‑stimulant options:
-
Talkiatry — psychiatry-focused telehealth with board‑certified psychiatrists and nurse practitioners who do ADHD evaluations and ongoing med management; good for complex cases and for people who want a psychiatric specialist rather than a PCP.
-
PlushCare — offers psychiatry visits (and primary care) via telehealth; widely available, accepts many insurers, and regularly prescribes non‑stimulant ADHD medications (atomoxetine, guanfacine, bupropion, etc.).
-
Teladoc / Amwell (behavioral health psychiatry) — large national networks of psychiatrists/NPs; often in‑network with employers/insurers and able to prescribe non‑controlled ADHD meds and arrange follow‑ups.
-
ADHD Online (adhdonline.com) — a specialty service focused on ADHD assessment and medication management; good if you prefer a clinic specifically oriented to ADHD evaluation/treatment.
-
Zocdoc / local telepsychiatrists — searching Zocdoc or Psychology Today for “telepsychiatrist ADHD” lets you pick a board‑certified psychiatrist in your state who will offer individualized treatment and non‑stimulant options.
Why these: non‑stimulant ADHD meds (atomoxetine/Strattera, guanfacine/Intuniv, clonidine, bupropion, viloxazine/Qelbree, etc.) are not controlled substances, so reputable telepsychiatrists and many telehealth clinics will prescribe them after a proper evaluation. Choosing a psychiatry‑focused service improves the chance of getting a tailored plan and follow‑up.
A couple quick tips:
- If you’re under 18, check that the service treats children/adolescents (some only treat adults).
- State licensing matters — availability depends on where you live.
- Ask up front whether the provider does ADHD evaluations, whether they prescribe the specific non‑stimulant you want, and whether they accept your insurance.
If you want, tell me: adult vs child, your state, and whether you have insurance — I can suggest the single best option for your situation.
