Experienced ADHD Psychiatrist in Austin, Texas
Personalized ADHD Care for High-Functioning Minds
You Are More Than a Label
You’re not just “distracted” or “disorganized.” Your brain moves differently—and that’s not a flaw. We create holistic ADHD care that respects your brilliance, honors your energy, and helps you find clarity without losing yourself.
What is Holistic ADHD Care?
Holistic ADHD care means supporting your whole system.
We connect the dots between your mind, body, environment, and emotional patterns. Using science, careful analysis, and intuitive guidance, we design personalized plans that may include medication, therapy, supplements, and nervous system work.
Every step is intentional—rooted in truth, not trends—and always centered around what your mind and body actually need.
Who Should See an ADHD Psychiatrist?
Adults living with focus issues, overwhelm, or emotional dysregulation.
Women who have gone undiagnosed — or misdiagnosed — for most of their lives
High-achievers whose ADHD symptoms aren’t improving with traditional therapy
Individuals seeking personalized, root-cause solutions, not another quick fix
What ADHD Psychiatry Looks Like
Step 1: Full-Spectrum Assessment
You’ll complete an in-depth intake that looks at more than just attention struggles. We review your mental health history, physical health, lifestyle, environment, and current medications or supplements to understand the whole picture.
Step 2: Deep Pattern Recognition
We go beyond surface symptoms to find what’s driving your experience. This may include exploring nervous system imbalances, inflammation, hormone shifts, gut health, or underlying conditions that affect focus, mood, and energy regulation.
Step 3: Individualized Support Plan
You’ll receive a personalized roadmap designed for your unique brain and body. Your care may include psychiatric strategies, therapy, functional medicine tools, and coordination with your broader wellness team—all supported by direct communication with Dr. Williams through a secure portal.

Board-Certified Psychiatrist | Functional Medicine Trained | Trauma-Informed
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all ADHD care. I work with a small number of clients to create highly personalized support that respects how your mind works and what your body needs.
Medication may be part of your plan, or it may not. Every recommendation is thoughtful, science-based, and designed to help you achieve long-term clarity, not just manage symptoms.
This isn’t traditional psychiatry. It’s intentional, root-cause healing for minds that move differently—and deserve to be understood.
