Understanding the Symptoms of Adult ADHD

Adult ADHD may look different than childhood ADHD. Instead of visible hyperactivity, adults often experience persistent mental restlessness, impulsivity, disorganization, forgetfulness, difficulty completing tasks, rapid shifts in focus, or emotional sensitivity. These symptoms can lead to missed deadlines, strained relationships, or feeling “behind” in life.

Our experienced clinicians conduct a thorough evaluation to understand your history, symptom patterns, daily functioning, and any co-existing conditions such as anxiety, depression, or chronic stress.

Personalized Adult ADHD Treatment Plans at Lumos

We create individualized treatment plans that meet your goals, lifestyle, and neurobiology. Treatment may include medication management, therapy for executive function skills, cognitive-behavioral strategies, emotional regulation support, structured planning routines, ADHD coaching, and lifestyle modifications that strengthen daily performance.

Our goal is not just symptom reduction — but empowering you to function confidently in work, home, and relationships.

 

Continued Support for Focus, Routine, and Daily Life with Lumos

ADHD is not something you simply “grow out of,” and effective care is ongoing and adaptive. We provide follow-up appointments, treatment monitoring, and real-world skill-building to help you maintain progress and prevent burnout. Over time, many adults report improved clarity, better organization, stronger emotional balance, and higher confidence in their abilities.

Lumos Psychiatric Reviews

Dr. Maitra is awesome! I can't say enough about her. She cares about her patients and has a great team of co-workers. Swati goes above and beyond and handles extra tasks for me. More than recommended for anyone who wants a great professional at an accommodating clinic with a lovely team of staff members. Thanks for everything, guys!

I didn't want to consult a psychiatrist because my lifestyle demanded mental health therapy. I thought I could do it all, handle it all, and be the superwoman everyone thought I was and my family expected of me...anxiety and depression took over my life and I tried everything to rise above it. In my 20s, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Left untreated, the symptoms tormented my life and hurt people I loved. Dr. Maitra is compassionate and the best psychiatrist around. She helped me understand I had a biological imbalance, not just a mental illness. She gave me the strength to share my journey without shame. Dr. Maitra has also been helping me with other private concerns, so I'm confident and hopeful I can overcome these too. Her office is gorgeous and her team handles the important aspects! I would recommend her to anyone who needs a second or third opportunity, is hesitant about a diagnosis, fears judgment, or has lost hope!

She's humble and kind. If you trust her, she can change your life too!

She had helped me in most professional organic way to treat my anxiety and adhd. She really takes time to know you.
I've had some complex problems and it took us a while to figure out the right meds. Dr. Maitra is your best ally in complex cases.

She communicates clearly, she trusts you, and it's easy for you to trust her. She's open to explaining the purpose and the mechanism of action of every medicine she prescribes. She's aware of a wide range of evidence-based approaches, keeps up with newest fancy meds and other advancements. Psychiatry is quite different from other areas of medicine, and I think Lumos is handling all that nuance exactly right.

They even conduct their own research here at Lumos! I've joined one of those groups myself, to help them figure out if an experimental med was useful for folks like me. It was a beautiful experience.
Dr Maitra is a great doctor. She helped me a lot overcoming some issues I had. As others reviews have said, she really cares about her patients. I recommend without hesitation.
Very thorough, professional and caring. I was able to an appointment in a reasonable amount of time. I trust Lumos with my care.
Dr. Maitra saved my life. She doesn't just sit with you for 15 minutes and send you on your way. She cares, she listens and she prescribes accordingly. Her staff was always responsive and caring. When I moved out of state she even helped me get set up with a new psychiatrist. I'm eternally grateful for Dr. Maitra and her staff.
Dr. Maitra is a rare type of doctor. She takes extra time with each of her patients. Although this sometimes means waiting a bit more for your appointment, it ensures adequate time is given to address your issues. Dr. Maitra along with her staff are very friendly and accommodating. They provide snacks and water for while waiting in the lobby. The overall atmosphere in her clinic is that of a "mom and pop shop". The staff are respectful and yet very personable. I cannot recommend her services enough.
