Yes. For an adult ADHD client who wants both therapy and medication management, I’d prioritize services where you can specifically identify clinicians with adult-ADHD experience rather than simply choosing a general teletherapy platform.
Strong options to consider
| Service | Adult ADHD therapy | Medication management | Psychiatrist/medical prescriber | Key consideration |
|---|
| Grow Therapy | Yes | Yes | Psychiatrists + psychiatric NPs | Best for finding an individual clinician who specifically lists ADHD |
| Talkspace | Yes | Yes | Psychiatric providers | Convenient integrated therapy + psychiatry, but doesn't prescribe controlled stimulants |
| Circle Medical | Limited/integrated behavioral care | Yes | No—primarily PCPs | Particularly useful for straightforward adult ADHD medication management |
| Alma | Yes | Depends on clinician | Individual psychiatrists/PMHNPs available | Excellent for finding a local therapist with ADHD specialization; prescriber availability varies |
1. Grow Therapy — probably my first choice for this use case
Grow is useful because it's a provider marketplace, rather than requiring everyone to use the same clinical model. You can search specifically for providers by specialty, state, insurance, and medication-management services. Its medication-management providers include psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners, and medication management can be used independently of therapy.
For an adult ADHD client, I'd look for:
- "ADHD" explicitly listed as a specialty
- Adult ADHD experience
- Experience with stimulant and non-stimulant medications
- A clinician who treats common ADHD comorbidities such as anxiety, depression, or sleep problems
- A therapist experienced with CBT for adult ADHD, executive-function difficulties, and behavioral strategies
2. Talkspace — best for an integrated, straightforward experience
Talkspace offers both ADHD-focused therapy and psychiatric treatment, so a client can potentially have therapy and medication management through the same platform. Its psychiatric providers evaluate ADHD and can prescribe medication when appropriate.
Important limitation: Talkspace explicitly says it does not prescribe controlled substances, so this is not the best choice if the client's treatment plan may involve Adderall, Vyvanse, Ritalin, Concerta, or another stimulant.
3. Circle Medical — good specifically for ADHD medication management
Circle Medical has a dedicated adult ADHD program with board-certified providers, diagnostic assessment, treatment planning, prescriptions when clinically appropriate, and ongoing follow-ups. Its process involves several appointments rather than making a diagnosis immediately, which is a positive feature for careful ADHD assessment.
The catch is important: these are primarily primary-care providers, not psychiatrists. Circle says its clinicians manage mild-to-moderate ADHD, while more complex cases may require psychiatry.
If the client is in Florida, Circle currently lists Florida among its telehealth states and says Florida ADHD care is available with a physician (MD/DO).
4. Alma — particularly good for finding the right therapist
Alma is worth considering if the priority is finding a therapist with substantial ADHD experience rather than simply signing up for a platform. Its directory allows clients to filter for ADHD, insurance, and telehealth/in-person options.
The client could pair an Alma ADHD therapist with a psychiatrist or psychiatric NP elsewhere for medication management.
What I'd recommend for a client
If the goal is both therapy and medication, I'd rank the approaches:
- Grow Therapy — best overall for finding an ADHD-specific therapist and prescriber.
- Talkspace — easiest integrated option if non-controlled medication is appropriate.
- Circle Medical — particularly attractive when the primary need is ADHD assessment/prescription management and the case is uncomplicated.
- Alma + separate psychiatrist/NP — best if finding a highly specialized adult-ADHD therapist is the priority.
One important distinction: "treats ADHD" isn't necessarily the same as "experienced in adult ADHD." For a client with a complicated presentation, I'd specifically ask the prospective clinician how many adult ADHD patients they currently treat, what medications they manage, and whether they provide ongoing titration/monitoring rather than just an initial prescription.
If you tell me the client's state, insurance (if any), whether they want stimulant medication, and whether they need both therapy + psychiatry from the same service, I can narrow this down to the 3–5 best options and compare costs, insurance, prescribing restrictions, and adult-ADHD expertise.
