A clear picture, then a plan.
For families of children and teens facing ADHD, attention and focus struggles, anxiety, pain and headaches, or sensory overwhelm. A physician, an occupational therapist, and a mental health nurse practitioner work as one team to bring clarity to your child's struggles.
Attention is rarely just attention.
A child who can't focus may be anxious. They may be sleeping poorly, low in iron, have other medical problems, or be overwhelmed by a noisy classroom. Executive-function and sensory differences can look a lot like ADHD — and often travel alongside it.
Clarity is built to sort that out. Instead of starting with a prescription and adjusting from there, we gather a full picture of how your child thinks, how they function day to day, and what's happening in their body. Then we build the plan.
Three views of your child, gathered at once.
How they think
Computerized neurocognitive testing, completed at home after the first visit, measures attention, processing speed, and memory objectively. We also review any prior educational or psychoeducational testing in depth.
How they function
Standardized rating scales completed by parents, teachers, and your child, plus an occupational therapy evaluation of executive function and sensory processing.
What's happening in the body
Focus and mood depend on more than the brain. We start with the essentials — sleep, iron, thyroid, lead, and inflammation — then look at key micronutrients like vitamin D, zinc, and magnesium, and how well the body processes B vitamins through methylation.
Pharmacogenomic testing is available at the first visit, and targeted testing, such as for PANS/PANDAS, is added when history points there.
Had bloodwork recently? Bring it, and we'll only repeat what we need.
Clarity works alongside neuropsychological testing — it doesn't replace it.
Neuropsychological and psychoeducational evaluations answer different questions and often add tremendous value to your child's care. Clarity is a medical and functional evaluation that complements them.
If your child has had a neuropsychological or psychoeducational evaluation, bring the report. It takes the place of our neurocognitive testing, rating scales, and written report, and the Clarity Evaluation is $250 less. You still get Kelly's occupational therapy evaluation and report, plus a full medical evaluation and treatment plan. We'll help you put its recommendations into practice — at home, at school, and in treatment.
Clarity is built to handle hard cases.
A good fit if
- You've tried medications or strategies that haven't quite worked
- Attention struggles overlap with anxiety, sleep, pain, headaches, or sensory overwhelm
- You want to understand what's driving things before starting medication
- You have a testing report and need help turning it into a plan
Probably not the right fit if
- Your child needs urgent mental health or crisis care. Please call or text 988, or go to the nearest emergency room
- You're looking for a quick diagnosis or a same-day prescription. We offer individual services for that.
- You need formal IQ or learning-disability testing for school eligibility, which a neuropsychologist provides
Not sure? Reach out anyway. We'll point you in the right direction.
Nothing is prescribed until everything is in hand.
Whether the plan includes medication, therapy, school supports, or something else entirely, it's built on results — including pharmacogenetic results, if tested — not guesswork. If your child is already taking medication, we continue it during the evaluation.
When what you've tried isn't working, it may be time for a different approach.
Many families come to us after a string of medications, or years of strategies that never quite fit. Because we understand your child first, we can reach for the tools that match them — with or without medication.
We work alongside your family, not around it. Every plan is shaped to fit your family's values, and we welcome your involvement and input at every step.
Beyond medication
For many children, the biggest gains come from building skills and calming the nervous system.
- Executive skills training — planning, organization, time management, and follow-through
- Sensory integration therapy — helping your child's body handle noise, touch, and overwhelm
- Parent training — to support child and adolescent independence
- Sleep, nutrition, and school supports built into the plan
When medication helps
We have access to a wide range of medication treatments, well beyond the first one or two most families have tried.
- Choices guided by your child's medical evaluation, labs, and pharmacogenomic results
- Careful adjustments with close follow-up
- Always paired with health habits and life skills — never medication alone
What to expect, step by step.
The Clarity Evaluation takes two visits, includes a full neurocognitive testing battery, and a plan.
If you'd like help carrying out the plan, our Clarity Treatment program is optional and available month to month. We choose together which team members will be part of the plan and how often to schedule the visits. Structured care provides cost savings and it can change as things improve.

1
Visit 1 — Getting to know your family
We meet together as a family, then with your child on their own. While Kelly, our occupational therapist, evaluates your child, Dr. Windsor sits down with parents. Plan on about 90 minutes. Labs and the pharmacogenomic swab are arranged the same day. After-school and weekend evaluation times are available.
-
2
After Visit 1 — Testing at home
We'll send rating forms for parents, teachers (depending on age), and your child (if appropriate), and your child completes the interactive neurocognitive test at home. Everything comes back before Visit 2.
-

Visit 2 — Results and a plan
Dr. Windsor walks you through what the results mean together — not just a list of flagged values — and recommends a plan. You choose how to continue from there.
-
4
If you choose — Clarity Treatment
Month to month, with no enrollment fee. Every level includes occupational therapy, from two OT visits a month up to a monthly visit with Dr. Windsor plus twice-monthly OT. After-school and weekend times are available, and messaging between visits covers questions, refills, and school letters.

Adjust as your child improves
Step up, step down, or finish with a full handoff letter for your child's other clinicians — decided together, one month at a time.
Three specialists, one plan.
Clarity is multidisciplinary by design. You won't be sent elsewhere and left to wait months for the next piece of the puzzle. Learn more about our team
Dr. Windsor
Leads the medical evaluation, interprets results, and manages treatment and school communication through evaluation and beyond.
Kelly Prater
Evaluates executive function and sensory processing, then works directly with your child on practical strategies during Clarity Treatment.
Will Windsor
Brings ADHD and mental health expertise to the plan, especially when anxiety, mood, or complex medication questions are part of the picture, and partners on care during Clarity Treatment.
Start with the evaluation. Decide the rest with results in hand.
The evaluation and treatment are priced separately. You'll only consider treatment after you've seen the results and your plan — and choose the level of support that fits.
Every level includes occupational therapy. Change levels or stop any month.
Bundled tiers cost less than booking the same visits separately and give your child a steady rhythm of care. Every service is also available unbundled, with Dr. Windsor, Will, or occupational therapy, at our standard fee schedule. Compare all programs
Questions families ask
Will my child be put on medication?+
Not automatically. Nothing new is prescribed until the evaluation is complete, and any current medication continues in the meantime. Some plans include medication; many lean on therapy, school supports, or addressing something the labs uncover.
What does my child need to do between visits?+
Nothing beyond the usual intake paperwork before the first visit. After Visit 1, your child completes a short computerized test at home and, if age-appropriate, a rating form of their own. We'll send parent and teacher forms at the same time.
Do you work with my child's school?+
Yes. Teacher input is part of the evaluation, and school letters and communication are included in Clarity Treatment.
Can Clarity look into PANS or PANDAS?+
Yes. PANS and PANDAS can cause a sudden, dramatic change in a child — new obsessive-compulsive behaviors, tics, restricted eating, or intense anxiety that seems to appear almost overnight, sometimes after an infection like strep.
When your child's history points that way, Dr. Windsor adds targeted testing, such as strep antibody levels and related labs, and interprets them alongside everything else we've gathered. We don't run these tests on every child: recent everyday strep exposure can raise antibody levels without meaning anything, and a result out of context can cause needless worry.
If you've been wondering about PANS or PANDAS, tell us when you reach out so we can plan for it from the start.
Do you take insurance?+
We're an out-of-network practice, which lets us spend the time a thorough evaluation takes. After each visit you'll receive a superbill you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Coverage depends on your plan, so it's worth a quick call to your insurer.
If you'd like to spread out the cost, CareCredit offers 12-month promotional financing, subject to credit approval.
Why is the evaluation split into two visits?+
The first visit is where we get to know your child: interviews and the occupational therapy evaluation. Afterward, your child completes the computerized testing at home, rating forms come back from home and school, and lab and pharmacogenomic results take a few weeks. The second visit is reserved for putting every piece together with you and agreeing on a plan.
Do we have to continue into treatment?+
No. The evaluation stands on its own, and the written report is yours to share with your pediatrician, school, or other clinicians. If you do continue, Clarity Treatment is month to month — step up, step down, or stop at any time.
Wondering if Clarity is right for your child?
If what you've tried isn't working, tell us a little about what you're seeing. We'll help you find the right starting point — even if it isn't Clarity.
