ADHD Care in New York City

Discreet, Neurodiversity-Affirming Evaluation and Treatment for Adults

New York City is home to countless therapists, coaches, and wellness providers. But surprisingly few clinicians can provide what many adults actually need: comprehensive ADHD evaluation, diagnosis, and medical treatment with the authority to prescribe.

Neurokin offers private-pay ADHD care in NYC designed for professionals and adults seeking clarity, legitimacy, and continuity.


No long wait times. No insurance barriers. No rushed appointments that leave you with more questions than answers.

If you have spent years managing symptoms on your own, relying on coaching without a formal diagnosis, or feeling stalled by providers who cannot diagnose or prescribe, you are not alone. Many of our NYC patients arrive after that exact experience.

ADHD Care for NYC Adults Who Want Depth, Discretion, and Expertise

Neurokin works with adults in New York City who are looking for more than surface-level care. You want answers. You want someone who can actually diagnose and treat. And you want it done thoughtfully. You might be a good fit if you are:

We also work with high-masking adults, women and AFAB individuals, LGBTQ+ clients, and BIPOC patients who have historically been underdiagnosed or dismissed in traditional settings.

Many NYC patients come to Neurokin after years of self-managing symptoms, relying on coaching alone, or feeling stalled by providers who cannot diagnose or prescribe. If that sounds familiar, this is different.

Thoughtful, Collaborative, and Clinically Rigorous ADHD Evaluation in New York City

ADHD evaluation at Neurokin is designed to respect your time while still delivering depth. We combine clinical interviews, evidence-based assessment tools, and contextual understanding of how ADHD affects your work and life.

We do not rely on checklists alone. We take time to understand patterns, context, strengths, and challenges. Our goal is to help you make sense of your experience, not just to assign a label.

Assessment tools are used to support clinical judgment and your lived experience, not to replace them. A test score is one data point. Your story is the full picture.

Serving Adults in New York City and Beyond

Neurokin provides ADHD evaluation and treatment for adults living or working in New York City, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the surrounding boroughs.

We offer both in-person and telehealth options. Karina is building toward a stronger NYC presence, with limited in-person availability in Manhattan for patients who prefer face-to-face evaluation.

For patients who split time between states or travel frequently, we also offer licensed ADHD evaluation and care planning in additional states (Washington DC, Georgia, Florida, California). Prescribing availability is reviewed clearly based on location.

Real Patients, Real Progress

Get Clarity Without the Runaround

If you are looking for discreet, neurodiversity-affirming ADHD care in New York City, Neurokin is here to help.

You do not have to be certain before you reach out. You do not have to have it all figured out. You just need a place that takes your experience seriously and can help you understand what is going on.

Your Questions About ADHD Care in New York City, Answered

  • How do I get an ADHD evaluation in New York City?

    The first step is to schedule a consultation with Neurokin. During your initial appointment, we conduct a comprehensive clinical interview, review your history, and determine if objective testing (Qb Check or Creyos) is appropriate. The full evaluation typically takes place over one to two appointments and includes clinical assessment, objective testing when indicated, and a detailed diagnostic summary with next steps.

  • Do you offer in-person ADHD testing in NYC?

    Yes. We offer in-person ADHD evaluation in Manhattan for patients who prefer face-to-face appointments. We also offer telehealth options for patients who prefer remote appointments or have scheduling constraints. The evaluation process, including objective testing, can be completed through either format.

  • Can you prescribe ADHD medication in New York?

    Yes. Karina is licensed and DEA-credentialed in New York State. When clinically appropriate, we offer both stimulant and non-stimulant medication options as part of ongoing ADHD care. Prescribing decisions are thoughtful, conservative, and individualized.


  • What makes Neurokin different from other ADHD providers in NYC?

    Neurokin combines medical expertise with a neurodiversity-affirming approach. We prioritize depth over volume, respect your lived experience, use evidence-based assessment tools, and provide continuity of care beyond diagnosis. Our private-pay model allows us to offer longer appointments, thoughtful follow-up, and genuine partnership in your care. We are not a coaching practice. We are a medical practice with the authority to diagnose and prescribe.

  • I work in NYC but live in another state. Can I still be a patient?

    Yes. If you work in New York City, we can provide ADHD evaluation and treatment. For prescribing availability in your home state, we will review your location and determine what is possible. Many of our patients split time between states.

  • Why is it hard to find ADHD care in New York City?

    NYC has many therapists and coaches but surprisingly few clinicians with medical training, diagnostic authority, and prescribing ability. Additionally, insurance-based providers often have long wait times and limited appointment availability. Neurokin was created to fill this gap: legitimate medical ADHD care with the depth and discretion that NYC professionals need.

  • What is the cost of ADHD evaluation and treatment in NYC?

    Neurokin operates on a private-pay model. Costs vary based on the complexity of your evaluation and the frequency of follow-up care.  For detailed pricing, contact us.

  • How long does the ADHD evaluation process take?

    The initial evaluation typically takes one to two appointments, depending on the complexity of your presentation and whether objective testing is indicated. After diagnosis, ongoing treatment appointments are typically scheduled monthly or as needed. We prioritize continuity and long-term care.

  • What happens after my ADHD evaluation?

    After your evaluation, we review findings with you in plain language and explain what they mean for your life. From there, you can decide what support aligns with your needs: ongoing care at Neurokin (including medication management), referrals to other providers, accommodations guidance, or simply having clarity and validation for your experience.

  • Do you work with therapists and coaches?

    Yes. Many of our NYC patients work with therapists, coaches, or other support providers. We are happy to coordinate with your existing care team and provide documentation that supports their work with you. A formal ADHD diagnosis can unlock accommodations, clarify treatment direction, and validate what you have known about yourself for years.
