Short answer: there isn’t a single “best” service for everyone, but good options depend on whether you want an ADHD‑specialized clinic or an integrated psychiatry + therapy service that treats anxiety as well. Below are reputable telehealth services to consider, with why each can work well for adults with ADHD and co‑occurring anxiety.
-
Brightside Health — Integrated care for ADHD, anxiety, and depression with both medication management (psychiatrists/clinicians) and evidence‑based therapy (CBT). Good if you want one program that treats both conditions together.
-
Done (donefirst.com / Done Health) — ADHD‑focused clinic that specializes in adult ADHD evaluations and medication management. Good if ADHD is your primary concern and you want clinicians experienced with adult ADHD medications; pair with separate therapy for anxiety if needed.
-
PlushCare — Offers virtual psychiatry and licensed therapists; easy to book single appointments with board‑certified psychiatrists who can manage stimulants and anxiety meds. Good if you want flexibility and access to psychiatrists rather than only NPs.
-
Cerebral — Behavioral health platform offering medication management and therapy for ADHD, anxiety, and related conditions (availability and prescribing policies vary by state). Good for combined ongoing medication + therapy care in one place.
-
ADHD Online — Fast online ADHD evaluations and diagnostic reports used by many adults; useful if you need a formal ADHD assessment quickly (then follow up for therapy/med management elsewhere).
-
Talkspace / BetterHelp (therapy) + local telepsychiatry (for meds) — If you prefer therapist continuity (CBT for anxiety and ADHD coaching) use an online therapy platform and pair it with a telepsychiatrist via Zocdoc/Amwell/Teladoc for medication management. Good if you want deeper therapy plus specialist prescribing.
What to check before you sign up
- Are prescribing clinicians board‑certified psychiatrists or primarily NPs/PCPs? (Psychiatrists can be preferable for complex comorbidity.)
- Do they prescribe stimulants in your state, and what records or in‑person requirements exist?
- Are therapy and psychiatry integrated (same platform) or do you need separate providers?
- Cost and insurance coverage, wait times, and clinician experience with adult ADHD + anxiety.
If you want, tell me your state (or whether you need to use insurance) and whether you think you’ll need stimulant medication — I can narrow this to the 1–2 best options for your situation and check current availability.
