Troy Don
PMHNP-BC, AGACNP-BC, DC
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Adult-Geriatric Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with more than two decades of experience in healthcare. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing and have been board certified and licensed as a Nurse Practitioner since 2017, with full prescribing authority and DEA registration. Prior to becoming a nurse practitioner, I practiced as a Doctor of Chiropractic, beginning my healthcare career in 2001. That early experience shaped my holistic view of patient care and my long-standing interest in helping people improve both their physical and mental performance.
Over the course of my career I have worked in hospital and outpatient psychiatric settings, including collaborating with psychiatrists in a consultation-liaison role caring for medically complex patients. While that work was meaningful, I found that I was most drawn to the outpatient setting, where I could spend more time understanding each patient’s story and helping them make meaningful changes in their daily lives. Today I evaluate and treat adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, and related conditions, with a particular focus on adults over 30 who may be seeking answers later in life.
My practice has developed a strong focus on adult ADHD diagnosis and treatment, particularly among high-performing professionals. Many of the individuals I work with are entrepreneurs, business executives, healthcare professionals, attorneys, and other driven individuals who have achieved success but continue to struggle with focus, organization, or mental overload. In many cases, ADHD was never properly evaluated or was previously misdiagnosed, and once the condition is identified and treated appropriately, patients often experience significant improvement in both work performance and overall quality of life.
My treatment approach combines evidence-based medication management with a collaborative, coaching-style conversation that helps patients better understand how their brain works. Rather than lecturing patients, I tend to ask thoughtful questions and guide self-discovery, because insight often leads to lasting change. Treatment plans are personalized and built around each patient’s goals, lifestyle, and professional demands.
My practice is based in Beverly Hills, and I work with patients throughout California via secure telehealth appointments. This allows busy professionals to access high-quality ADHD evaluation and treatment without disrupting their work schedules.
Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy spending time with my family—which can be wonderfully chaotic with four children (my wife is a saint)—and exploring great food. If I had chosen a different career path, there’s a good chance I would have become a foodie, with a particular appreciation for food trucks and Mexican street food (a guilty pleasure).
FAQ
ADHD Evaluation and Treatment – Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — and this is extremely common.
Many high-achieving professionals with ADHD have developed sophisticated coping strategies that hide symptoms for years.
You may look successful on the outside while privately dealing with:
• constant overwhelm
• chronic procrastination
• difficulty starting or finishing tasks
• mental exhaustion from trying to stay organized
• feeling like everything requires twice the effort it should
In fact, many of the most capable professionals are diagnosed later in life once their responsibilities grow beyond what their coping strategies can handle.
An evaluation can finally provide clarity about what’s actually happening — and how to fix it.
Many adults with ADHD were overlooked as children — especially women.
Girls with ADHD are more likely to appear:
• responsible
• perfectionistic
• high-achieving
• quiet or internally anxious
Instead of disrupting classrooms, they often work twice as hard to keep up.
Because of this, many women are not diagnosed until their 30s or 40s when life becomes more complex with:
• demanding careers
• parenting responsibilities
• increased cognitive workload
At that point, the coping systems that once worked stop being enough.
A proper adult ADHD evaluation is far more than a quick checklist.
Your evaluation will include:
• a detailed discussion of your history and symptoms
• how ADHD may be affecting your work, relationships, and daily life
• screening for related conditions like anxiety or depression
• evidence-based ADHD assessment tools
The goal is not simply to assign a diagnosis.
The goal is to understand how your brain works so we can create a treatment plan that actually helps.
If ADHD is confirmed, we develop a personalized treatment strategy designed to improve:
• focus
• productivity
• mental clarity
• emotional regulation
• day-to-day functioning
Treatment options may include:
• medication when appropriate
• behavioral strategies
• executive function support
• lifestyle adjustments that improve cognitive performance
Many patients experience rapid improvements in focus and mental energy once the right treatment plan is in place.
No.
Medication is often highly effective, but treatment is always individualized.
Your plan may include:
• medication
• behavioral strategies
• executive functioning techniques
• lifestyle adjustments
The goal is not simply prescribing medication.
The goal is helping you function at the highest level possible.
Yes.
Many adult ADHD evaluations and follow-up visits can be completed through secure telehealth appointments throughout California.
Telehealth makes it easier for busy professionals to access care without the time and inconvenience of commuting to an office.
This is exactly why a thorough evaluation is important.
Many adults seeking ADHD assessment are actually dealing with:
• anxiety
• chronic stress or burnout
• sleep issues
• depression
A comprehensive evaluation helps determine what is really happening, so treatment addresses the root cause — not just the symptoms.
The initial ADHD evaluation typically takes about 60–90 minutes.
If ADHD is diagnosed, follow-up visits focus on:
• treatment planning
• medication management when appropriate
• optimizing focus and daily functioning
The first step is scheduling an initial consultation.
During this visit we will:
• review your symptoms and history
• determine whether ADHD evaluation is appropriate
• begin developing a personalized treatment strategy
For many adults, this evaluation is the moment when years of confusion finally start to make sense.
And once the right treatment is in place, many patients experience dramatic improvements in focus, productivity, and quality of life.
