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.

Care built differently, for Poway and beyond

Poway's proximity to Camp Pendleton means many residents juggle military service, deployments, and family transitions alongside ADHD and psychiatric care needs. Telehealth removes barriers for those managing irregular schedules and frequent relocations, making consistent psychiatric support accessible without adding travel time to an already demanding routine.

Neurodivergent-Led Care

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.

Text Your Provider Directly

Every plan includes HIPAA-compliant direct texting with Daniel. Questions between sessions, refill concerns, or a quick check-in: support that meets you where you are.

Questions from Poway, 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 patients across North County San Diego through secure telehealth visits. Whether you're in Rancho Bernardo, Carmel Mountain, Poway itself, Scripps Ranch, Sabre Springs, Del Mar, or Solana Beach, you can connect with our psychiatrists without leaving your area. We're here for your community.

Telehealth means no drive time to an office, no sitting in traffic, and no scheduling around commutes. You book an appointment that works for your life and meet with your psychiatrist from home. Same quality care, real flexibility, and the personal touch you deserve right where you are.

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.
