WHY THIS MATTERS
ADHD isn’t just focus...
It’s life feeling like a game of Whac-A-Mole.
One minute you’re fine. The next — chaos.
😴 Sleepless nights
💢 Pressure to “just try harder.”
👩👦 Parents: endless battles, exhausted mornings, and the guilt of feeling powerless to help.
🌀 Adults: missed deadlines, strained relationships, and the shame of feeling broken.
Here’s what no one tells you:
there is a way forward...
Why Families Choose Us
Because ADHD care should feel hopeful, not heavy.
Beyond Just Meds
Pills aren’t the whole story
(and you already know that).
We dig into the why behind the chaos — sleep, food, stress, gut health — so you finally get care that actually makes sense.
Built for ADHD, Not Guesswork
ADHD brains play by their own rules.
That’s why we don’t do one-size-fits-all advice. Instead, we craft strategies made for how your brain (or your kiddo’s) actually works.
Where Coaching Meets Biology
Real change takes more than pep talks.
We blend practical life tools and the biology piece (labs, supplements, root causes) so you get systems that stick in everyday life.
The Difference You'll Feel
From overwhelm to “I’ve got this.”
Getting help for ADHD shouldn’t feel exhausting.
It should feel like relief — with room for joy.
From Chaos to Calm(er) Days
Big feelings don’t have to run the show.
Sleep comes easier, emotions settle, and life starts to feel steady again.
Clarity That Clicks
Confusion out, aha-moments in.
No more guessing why things feel so hard — you’ll finally see what’s really driving the struggle (and how to change it).
Tools That Fit Real Life
Confidence grows when change lasts.
These aren’t quick fixes — they’re practical wins designed for ADHD brains. So progress actually sticks (and feels good).

-
Do you prescribe stimulant medications?No. We don’t manage prescriptions. We recommend that families work with their own psychiatrist for medication, while we focus on functional medicine and real-life tools that support the whole person.
-
Is this only for kids, or do you work with adults too?Both! We support children, teens, and adults with ADHD. Many families choose us because we understand ADHD across the lifespan — from school struggles to workplace focus and parenting stress.
-
Do you offer virtual visits?Yes! In fact, we prefer virtual visits. Meeting online makes care more accessible and flexible for busy families, while still providing the same personalized support you’d receive in person.
-
What makes this different from regular therapy or coaching?We blend functional medicine with practical coaching strategies. That means you’ll get both lab-guided, biology-based support and the tools to create structure, improve relationships, and reduce stress. Most programs focus on just one side — we bring them together.
-
Do you accept FSA/HSA?Yes. Most clients are able to use their Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for our services. We provide detailed receipts you can submit to your plan for reimbursement or direct payment.
-
Do you accept insurance?Unfortunately, no. We will work with you to identify tests that can be ordered by your primary care provider and attempt to save you as much money as possible, whenever possible.
-
Do you accept Medi-Cal?We are not able to accept Medi-Cal. Our services are private pay only, and we are not contracted with Medi-Cal as a provider. If you have Medi-Cal, you can still choose to work with us by paying out of pocket, and we can also help connect you with Medi-Cal–participating resources if that’s a better fit for your family.
-
Do you accept Medicare patients?No, we are not able to see Medicare patients in this practice. Because we are Medicare providers in other settings, federal rules do not allow us to accept self-pay from Medicare beneficiaries for services that Medicare covers. If you have Medicare, we encourage you to work with your primary care physician or a Medicare-participating provider for your ADHD-related medical care.
-
Do you accept patients from other states?Right now, we serve families in California. For those outside the state, we’re happy to help connect you with resources and providers closer to home.
Meet Patrick
ADHD isn’t just my work — it’s my story.
I’m Patrick, DMSc, PA-C — a Physician Associate, dad, and fellow ADHD traveler. After my own diagnosis (and later my kids’), I discovered how deeply ADHD can shape work, marriage, parenting, and even self-worth.
Through functional medicine, I found another way: one that looked beyond meds, uncovered root causes, and helped my family find less chaos, more calm, and real connection.
👉 That’s why I started ADHD & Awesome — to help other families rewrite their ADHD story too.
