Too many mental healthcare providers choose to medicate children with ADHD without addressing underlying concerns that may be worsening the symptoms.

With The ResWell Team Approach, your child receives personalized care that helps uncover and treat the root causes of their symptoms. In some cases, what appears to be ADHD is actually a different diagnosis like anxiety, depression, or grief. Through comprehensive ADHD assessment & diagnosis, integrative treatment, and coordinated care, we address every possibility to ensure your child is supported in all aspects of their life.

Get the Facts from Childhood Depression Specialists

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by disrupted biological systems and treated by a pediatric ADHD specialist. It is not “all in your child’s head,” and it is not due to poor parenting, too much sugar, or other factors you might have seen on social media.

Daily physical activity has a profoundly positive impact on ADHD symptoms. You do not have to rely on medication alone to manage your child’s condition — your ResWell provider has other treatment and lifestyle options available.

Your child can thrive with ADHD. Many of our patients are doing just that with the help of our ResWell Team Approach. Check out our patient testimonials to hear some of their success stories.

Our Community Says It Best

Find Out What Our Patients And Their Parents Have To Say About Us

Dr. Navarro is an excellent child/adolescent psychiatrist. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, and current in the latest research regarding ADHD. He is careful about adjusting medications and is also responsive if you ever need to reach him outside of business hours. My kids trust him and so do we, as parents.

Samantha

I’ve been working with Dr. Navarro for years. He’s truly incredible in his role, and often goes above and beyond. He’s knowledgeable, insightful, kind, and patient. He’s helped me find a good balance of medications and support during my most challenging times. I couldn’t recommend Dr. Navarro enough.

The responsiveness and care we have received from Dr. Francisco Navarro and Dr. Adam Herdina is incredible. Our family is grateful to have such a wonderful team in place to assist us with our mental health needs. We highly recommend these doctors and ResWell!

ResWell customer service and spot on treatment by Dr. Anaya can’t be beat! My child has very complex disorders and ever changing chemistry, so being on top of medication needs and always working with me, as to changes I see or don’t see, is so appreciated! Dr. Anaya is a life saver!

Jane

My husband and I truly feel blessed to have Dr. Herdina as our therapist. We have had many challenges as a family; he has helped us maneuver through many rough times. We have complete confidence in his capability, expertise and integrity as a doctor.

Dr. Herdina takes the time with his patients. You feel safe and comfortable to talk to him. Makes you see things for what they truly are. Great doctor. He is definitely an asset to his profession.

Dr. Ledbetter is the best therapist I’ve ever known, she has a true gift for people and is excellent at making her patients feel heard and validated. I would recommend her to anybody I know, 10/10 would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Dr. Ledbetter has been very professional, caring and kind. I would absolutely recommend her.

Dr. Ledbetter is caring and thorough. And my daughter really responds well to her.

Jennifer

Joe has been wonderful to work with. Our son has struggled terribly with depression and anxiety and he has helped him tremendously over the course of a year. Anytime we have concerns or questions, both he and his office quickly respond via text or Zoom.

Laurel

ResWell was recommended by a friend, and we are very happy with the service they provide. Mr. Joe Garcia is very knowledgeable and thorough with my son’s health and well being. He made us aware of side effects with his previous medication, and is helping manage current and future changes.

Jill

Joe Garcia is a warm and caring professional. He thoroughly explains any questions or uncertainties and makes sure that you understand whatever he is trying to express. His approach to mental health is holistic, meaning more than just medication, and involves the whole family, since, often, it is not only the patient dealing with the mental issue.

Joe

Suzanne is wonderful. She's kind, patient, a great listener, and knows her stuff. I appreciate her so much and I recommend her in the strongest possible terms. ResWell's staff are also wonderful to work with, and I love that they have a texting system, so I'm always up to date with someone in the office.

Joshua

Suzanne Galanty and the ResWell team are, by far, the winners. Here's what we like: telehealth visits work for us better than in-person (although we prefer phone to video); the back office staff is super prompt and professional and Suzanne herself is knowledgeable, thorough, thoughtful, prompt and analytical.

David

ResWell’s approach truly is holistic as I've been offered resources and suggested supplements, opportunities to look into my specific gene and medication breakdown and further offerings from ResWell related to nutrition and meditation. I'm already seeing an improvement and feel wholly supported in getting to a better place with my ADHD.

Sarah

Ken has been an incredible support to my teens over the last few years. He is so kind and generous, and he's made a huge difference in their lives!

Anonymous

We had been unable to get my son excited about any sort of physical activity, but he loves his time with Coach Ken and looks forward to his weekly workouts. He has provided a very encouraging and supportive environment without judgment that has allowed my son to finally enjoy physical activities, as well as build up his confidence.

Anonymous

Katie demonstrates exceptional knowledge and planning when constructing her workouts for clients. She maximizes the time by designing appropriate workouts to hit both cardio and strength.

Anonymous

I look forward to my sessions with Katie every week and I’ve noticed a difference in the way I look and feel just in the month I’ve started training with her. She pushes me enough to get me out of my comfort zone and she’s super encouraging and supportive at the same time.

We Offer Multiple Treatment Options for ADHD

In Addition to Standard of Care Options, Your Child May Benefit From Our Integrative Therapies:

Neurofeedback

  • Neurofeedback is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that shows exactly how your child’s brain is functioning so they learn how their brain reacts to specific triggers.
  • Neurofeedback helps your child build focusing skills and extend attention span, and it enables many children to continue improving these skills even after treatment has ended.
  • The treatment “trains” the brain without altering your child’s brain chemistry, offering positive results without potential side effects.

EquusLed Program

  • EquusLed involves interactive horse activities and experiences and can be an effective treatment for kids with ADHD.
  • Your teen can expect to engage in activities and unstructured interactions with the horses — no riding is involved.
  • This equine assisted therapy program allows children to learn about themselves and others and then discuss their associated feelings, behaviors, and patterns with our ADHD treatment specialist.

Personalized Fitness, Nutrition, & Mindfulness Program

  • Physical well-being supports optimal mental health, so your child will receive expert guidance on physical activity, nutrition, and sleep as part of their ADHD treatment plan.
  • Our clinical dietitian will develop an effective nutritional plan for your child.
  • Our resiliency coaches will provide your child with personalized physical activity/yoga routines, mindfulness exercises, and meditation techniques.

Our ResWell Team Approach Can Make a Real Difference

At ResWell, we understand the impact that ADHD can have on your child’s life — and we also understand how to guide them in using it to their advantage. The ResWell Team Approach involves providing comprehensive assessment, treatment, and management of ADHD, including guidance and support throughout your child’s life.

With the ResWell Team Approach, your child can thrive at home and in school, manage learning differences effectively, and develop techniques that will help them maintain lifelong improvement, even when things get tough.

 

Your child’s initial 90-minute in-person evaluation helps our team develop an integrative, evidence-based treatment plan to guide your child in managing ADHD, maintaining progress, and optimizing day-to-day well-being.

To ensure your child is supported in all aspects of their life, our team will coordinate with pediatricians, therapists, schools, and childcare providers.

If previous ADHD treatments have not worked, we will assess how your child metabolizes different medications through pharmacogenetic testing collected from Genomind. Our neurofeedback expert can also develop a nonpharmacologic treatment protocol.

Your child will learn how to build Mental Health Equity. Developed by Dr. Navarro, Mental Health Equity is the philosophy that promoting nutrition, fitness, sleep, and mindfulness can help optimize mental wellness and foster resiliency against difficult situations, symptoms, or setbacks in the future.

You and your child can enter into our Cycle of ResWell Health in any of the phases of care. You can also visit to receive guidance on mindfulness, meditation, and movement/fitness without being seen as a regular patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you see adult patients with ADHD also?

Yes. While we specialize in pediatric mental health, we are also board-certified with nearly 20 years of experience treating adults. Our ResWell team has expertise in ADHD so they can provide comprehensive treatment plans for ADHD patients of all ages.

How common is ADHD?

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, around 3-5% of preschool and school-age children have ADHD. That means that in a class of 25-30 students, at least one is likely to have the condition. ADHD is more prevalent in boys than girls.

Does my child have ADHD?

If your child has six or more of the symptoms listed above, ADHD may be the root cause. A comprehensive assessment by an ADHD treatment specialist can assist in making a definitive diagnosis and determining the severity of the condition.

How do you diagnose ADHD?

ADHD is a clinical diagnosis that can be made during the initial 90-minute evaluation at ResWell. A neuropsychologist can perform assessments to assist in making a definitive diagnosis, determining its severity, and uncovering concerns contributing to your child’s ADHD symptoms. Once we diagnose the condition, we provide integrative pediatric ADHD treatment options to help your child effectively manage their symptoms.

Do you offer telehealth appointments for ADHD patients?

Yes, depending on the personalized, comprehensive plan developed with your provider. The first meeting is always in person. We do provide telehealth follow-up appointments to make treatment as easy and convenient as possible for our patients and their parents.

Do you accept insurance for ADHD assessment and treatment?

While we do not accept insurance, we do provide our patients with the documentation necessary to file with their own insurance carriers.
