ADHD care designed for how your mind actually works

Elevating Minds Psychiatry was built from lived experience. Our lead provider, Daniel Mattox PMHNP-BC, understands what it feels like to push through every day without the right support. That understanding shapes every aspect of how we care for you.

Traditional psychiatry often leaves neurodivergent patients behind: rushed appointments, endless insurance paperwork, and providers who recite textbooks rather than truly listening. We do things differently.

Our subscription-based model means you pay a flat monthly fee and get real access to your provider between appointments. Text Daniel directly when a question comes up. No waiting rooms, no phone trees, no anxiety about whether your refill will arrive in time.

Whether you have never been evaluated, have a diagnosis that has gone poorly managed, or just moved to California and need continuity of care, there is a plan built for where you are right now.

Daniel has lived with ADHD. He is not reading about your experience from a textbook. He has navigated it himself, which changes everything about how he listens.

Questions from Hayward, CA residents

We know that reaching out for psychiatric support raises a lot of questions. Here are the ones we hear most often, answered plainly.

Elevating Minds Psychiatry serves the entire East Bay through telehealth, reaching patients across Hayward, San Leandro, Castro Valley, Fremont, Union City, Newark, and Pleasanton. No matter which community you call home, you can connect with our psychiatrists online without leaving your neighborhood.

Telehealth means real convenience. You skip the drive to an office, book appointments that fit your schedule, and receive care from your own space. Whether you're in Hayward proper or a few miles away in one of these surrounding areas, quality psychiatric care is available when you need it.

We operate on a fee-for-service subscription model, which means we do not bill insurance directly. This lets us skip prior authorizations, claim denials, and the long waits they create. We provide detailed superbills after every appointment so you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement through your insurance on your own terms. HSA and FSA funds are fully compatible with our plans. Many patients find that our flat monthly pricing compares favorably to traditional copays and deductibles once you factor in the level of access you actually receive.

Our Discovery Plan includes a same-week appointment commitment. From the moment you sign up, we aim to get your comprehensive evaluation scheduled within seven days. We know that when someone works up the courage to seek support, momentum matters. Long waitlists are one of the biggest barriers in traditional psychiatry and one of the main reasons we built our practice the way we did.

Yes, genuinely. Every plan includes direct HIPAA-compliant texting with Daniel Mattox. This is not a patient portal with a 3-business-day response window. Questions about a side effect, a concern about your medication, or just checking in after a rough week: you can reach out and get a real response. This feature exists because we know that ADHD symptoms and mental health concerns do not schedule themselves neatly between monthly appointments.
