ADHD evaluation and care, for kids and adults

Focus, follow-through, and restlessness look different at eight years old than they do at forty. Olga Eldridge, PMHNP-BC, evaluates and treats ADHD by secure telehealth for patients anywhere in Missouri.

What ADHD care looks like here

ADHD is more than getting distracted now and then. It can look like projects that stall halfway, deadlines that slip, a mind that wanders mid-conversation, or a child whose teachers keep describing the same struggles every year. Care starts with a comprehensive ADHD evaluation. Trouble with attention can overlap with anxiety, low mood, and poor sleep, so the goal is to understand what is actually going on before talking about any treatment.

Who it helps

Children from age 4, teens, adults, and older adults. That includes grown-ups who were never evaluated as kids and are only now connecting the dots (these adult signs often get missed), and parents who are seeing the same patterns show up at school and at home.

Treatment, decided together

After the evaluation, Olga explains the options and you help shape the plan. Stimulant and non-stimulant medications are available when clinically appropriate, and no medication decision is made before the evaluation. If medication becomes part of the plan, follow-up medication management keeps it on track.

Temporary pause on controlled-substance prescriptions

Starting September 1, 2026, the practice is temporarily unable to prescribe controlled substances (DEA Schedules 2 through 5), including ADHD stimulant medications. The pause is expected to last about two months. Evaluations and non-controlled medication management continue as usual. Questions? Call or text 417-538-3460 before booking.

Your first telehealth visit

Before the visit you complete a short intake through the secure patient portal, sharing as much or as little as you like. The visit itself happens over secure video from home. Expect questions about what daily life looks like right now, when the difficulties started, sleep, mood, and what you hope will change. For a child, the adults who know them best help fill in the picture.

Common questions

Something else on your mind? Call or text 417-538-3460. A real person will respond.

Can adults be evaluated for ADHD?
Yes. Olga sees adults and older adults as well as children age 4 and up and teens. The evaluation looks at your day-to-day life now and your history, so it works whether or not anyone raised ADHD when you were young.
Will I be prescribed a stimulant?
Not automatically. Any medication decision comes after a comprehensive evaluation, only when clinically appropriate, and is made together with you. Please also note that prescribing of controlled substances, including ADHD stimulants, is temporarily paused starting September 1, 2026, for about two months.
Can an ADHD evaluation be done by telehealth?
Yes. Evaluations and follow-up visits happen over secure video for patients located anywhere in Missouri, in English or Russian.
