All you need is a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and internet connection. Find a quiet, private space where you can speak freely. Have your insurance card and a list of current medications ready. That's it — no traffic, no parking stress, no waiting room.

Same-week appointments are often available. We'll send you a secure link before your appointment.

What to Expect from ADHD Treatment

ADHD isn't a character flaw — it's a difference in how your brain works. Whether you choose telehealth or an in-person visit at our Burtonsville office, here's what you can expect from care that's designed to understand and support your unique brain.

01

A Real Look at How Your Brain Works

Your first appointment isn't a checklist — it's an in-depth conversation where Dr. Fosu takes time to understand your struggles with focus, organization, impulsivity, and follow-through. She asks about your childhood, school years, work history, and daily life to understand patterns. She also screens for conditions that often overlap with ADHD, like depression or anxiety, so nothing gets missed. If you're joining from Silver Spring via telehealth, you'll have the same depth of conversation as someone sitting in our Burtonsville office. This is your space to be heard, without judgment and without pressure.

02

Understanding Your ADHD Type — With Context

We don't just tell you "you have ADHD" and hand you a prescription. We walk you through the specific type — inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, or combined — and explain how it shows up in your life. We also discuss any co-occurring conditions and help you understand what this diagnosis means for your future, not just your present. For Silver Spring residents, this clarity can be especially powerful — it helps you feel more in control even when you're navigating a busy schedule.

03

A Plan That Actually Works for Your Brain

There's no one-size-fits-all solution. We build a plan around your unique brain — which may include medication support (stimulants or non-stimulants), therapy, executive function coaching, or a mix of all three. Dr. Fosu explains each option clearly so you can make informed decisions. She starts with low doses when medication is involved and monitors your response closely. We also help you build daily routines and organizational systems that actually stick — because when you have ADHD, you need strategies that work with your brain, not against it.

04

Ongoing Support — You're Not Alone in This

ADHD management is a marathon, not a sprint. We schedule regular follow-ups — in-person at our Burtonsville office or via telehealth — to check in on your progress, adjust medication, fine-tune strategies, celebrate wins, and troubleshoot setbacks. Whether you're in Silver Spring, Burtonsville, or anywhere in Maryland, we're here for the long run. And we understand that life in Silver Spring can be busy — we'll work with you to find appointment times that fit your schedule. Psychiatric evaluation is also available for new patients who need a comprehensive assessment.

Questions Silver Spring Residents Ask Most About ADHD

Here are honest answers to the questions our patients from Silver Spring ask most about ADHD treatment.

01

How do I know if I have ADHD — or if it's just stress or distraction?

It's normal to feel distracted sometimes, especially with a busy schedule. But if you've been struggling with focus, organization, forgetfulness, or impulsivity for years — and it's affecting your work, relationships, or daily life — it may be ADHD. Dr. Fosu will help you understand what's going on through a comprehensive evaluation. Our Burtonsville office is about a 20-minute drive from Silver Spring via New Hampshire Avenue or Route 29, or you can meet via secure telehealth from the comfort of your home. Book your first evaluation to get clarity.

02

What happens during an ADHD evaluation?

Your initial evaluation is typically 60 to 90 minutes. Dr. Fosu takes time to explore your symptoms, childhood history, work or school performance, and daily challenges in depth. She also screens for other conditions that can overlap with ADHD, such as anxiety or depression. Follow-up appointments are typically 15 to 30 minutes for medication management or coaching sessions. If you're joining from Silver Spring via telehealth, you'll receive the same depth of care without the 20-minute drive.

03

Do I have to take medication for ADHD?

Not at all. For some people, therapy and coaching alone are enough. For others, medication is a helpful addition. We never push medication — we discuss it as an option and only recommend it if we think it could genuinely help. If you do decide to try it, we start with low doses and monitor closely. The decision is always yours. We also offer therapy and psychiatric evaluation to help you build strategies that work with your brain — with or without medication. Many patients also benefit from bipolar care alongside ADHD treatment.

04

Do you accept insurance for ADHD treatment in Silver Spring?

Yes. We accept CareFirst, Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, and Cigna for both telehealth and in-person appointments. We recommend contacting our office before your first visit to confirm your specific plan and coverage details. Our team is happy to help you understand your benefits. For patients without insurance, we also offer self-pay options. Call us at (240) 360-7308 with any questions.

05

What if I'm in crisis or need urgent psychiatric help near Silver Spring?

If you or someone you know is in crisis, call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or go to the nearest emergency room. For non-urgent concerns, call our office at (240) 360-7308 and we'll do our best to get you in as soon as possible. Telehealth makes it easy to reach us quickly — same-week appointments are often available. You don't have to struggle with focus and organization alone anymore. Trauma therapy is also available for those who need additional support.
