Focus ADHD Iowa provides psychiatric care for adults throughout the Des Moines metro area, including Ankeny, West Des Moines, Urbandale, and Johnston, as well as communities across Iowa. The practice specializes in adult ADHD and also evaluates and treats a broader range of psychiatric conditions, including depression, anxiety, insomnia, OCD, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, PTSD, and substance-use conditions, as clinically appropriate. Most visits take place online, and when clinically indicated your provider may require a one-time in-person assessment.
We offer transparent pricing at Focus ADHD. Because we don’t accept insurance, we are able to keep our costs reasonable and pass the savings to you.
An initial 2 hour online evaluation is required to begin treatment. This will be conducted via videoconferencing from your home or office. After the evaluation, the provider will explain your results and discuss treatment options.
Focus ADHD Iowa takes a practical approach to adult ADHD and mental health care. Alongside evaluation and medication management, treatment addresses the day-to-day strategies that help with organization, follow-through, and managing responsibilities at work and at home. Medication management is integrated into an individualized, comprehensive mental health strategy rather than offered on its own.
The practice recognizes that high-achieving adults often struggle silently with focus, organization, and emotional regulation while maintaining successful careers and family responsibilities. This understanding shapes every aspect of care, from initial evaluation through ongoing treatment planning. The psychiatric team specializes in helping clients who feel like they’re underperforming despite tremendous effort, offering both medical management and practical tools for lasting success.
Adults who struggle with focus, organization, time management, or emotional regulation often benefit most from specialized psychiatric care.

Professional psychiatric evaluation becomes valuable when daily tasks feel overwhelming despite best efforts, when constantly running late becomes a pattern regardless of planning, or when feeling like a failure at work or home despite working harder than peers. Many adults throughout the Des Moines metro wait years before seeking specialized help, yet early intervention consistently leads to better outcomes and faster symptom relief. The right time is often sooner than people think.
The initial psychiatric appointment includes a thorough evaluation covering medical history, current symptoms, and life challenges across multiple settings.
