We serve parents and caregivers of children 5-12 with an ADHD diagnosis or with ADHD symptoms. We are located in San Francisco and serve families throughout California.
The first step is to learn more about our service. Many families hear about us through their family physician or a trusted friend. Spend time our website and then click "Schedule an appointment" to begin a 5-10 minute video-based onboarding that helps you learn more about ADHD treatment, Behavioral Parent Training therapy, and our clinical service. At the conclusion, you are invited to schedule an Intake appointment.
The second step is a personalized assessment, which occurs via video conference and is covered by insurance. For children with an existing ADHD diagnosis, parents attend a 30-45 minute Program Consultation focused on the family's goals and a treatment plan. For children without an existing ADHD diagnosis, parents attend a 60-90 minute Intake focused on diagnosing the child and creating a treatment plan. Children join the first 10 minutes of Intakes to assist in the diagnosis. To prepare for either a Program Consultation or and Intake, parents complete medical history, screens, insurance/billing forms, and HIPAA consents. When Behavioral Parent Training is recommended in the treatment plan, we help parents enroll during the appointment.
The third step is to begin Behavioral Parent Training, our virtual, 8-session group therapy program covered by insurance. Families join other parents to learn specialized parenting techniques proven to support kids with ADHD. In between sessions, we continue to help you. Our therapists and your parent community are here to support you with group chat, resources and extra therapist support.
The fourth step is to decide on next steps for your child. Many parents continue therapy with us, meeting both privately and in groups for additional ADHD-related therapy. Your BPT therapist can advise you on the best programs for your child. We are regularly adding more services for families.
Yes. Our child psychologists can provide an ADHD diagnosis to children during your first clinical appointment, a 60+ minute appointment which we call an Intake appointment.

Our team offers care specifically tailored for children with ADHD. Many children with ADHD have other conditions, like anxiety. We work with families to create a treatment plan personalized for their child's needs. At this time, we aren't offering Behavioral Parent Training for children without either ADHD symptoms and/or an ADHD diagnosis.
Yes. Our televideo therapy sessions are conveniently provided exclusively online with HIPAA-secure telehealth technologies.
Our child psychologists were trained at leading academic institutions and completed American Psychological Association-accredited internships in addition to post-doctoral fellowships at established academic medical centers and children's hospitals. We select providers with experience in delivering ADHD treatment, and after joining our team they receive ongoing training in evolving best practices.
All 8 Behavioral Parent Training sessions are typically delivered by the same provider. Because our providers specialize in different areas of care, your child’s initial appointment may be conducted by a different provider than the provider who delivers your BPT sessions.
Clarity Pediatrics uses a secure telehealth platform so families can easily communicate with their care team from their computer or mobile device.
Behavioral Parent Training is a well-established treatment that helps parents and caregivers modify a child’s behavior. In BPT, parents join therapy to learn evidence-based parenting techniques that help guide children toward behaviors they want to see more. In therapy sessions, psychologists help parents personalize BPT skills for their home environment and measure improved behavior outcomes.
Clarity Pediatrics pairs the best of telehealth convenience with additional technologies to support families, including:
