COACHING
What is ADHD Coaching?
ADHD coaches are trained to help you learn more about how ADHD affects your life and find ways to manage it effectively. We’re here to encourage you to stay focused on your goals, develop resilience when you face obstacles, and feel better about the way you engage with life.
Benefits of ADHD Coaching
Research shows ADHD coaching can improve executive functioning–related behaviors, self-esteem, well-being, and quality of life.
Supportive Relationship
Develop a trusting relationship with someone who’s not only concerned about your individual struggles, but also with your whole person.
Practical
Learn systems and strategies to help manage the practical aspects of life, such as time management, organizational skills and memory problems.
Clearer Thinking
Clarify values, goals and activities and identify obstacles to achieving those goals. Experience accountability and methods for reporting your challenges and your wins.
Strategies and Interventions
Learn what motivates you and develop new strategies for reframing problems, dealing with distractions and initiating activities.
How Does ADHD Coaching Work?
THE BASICS:
- Weekly, 55-minute sessions
- In-person, via Zoom or on the phone
- $100 – $145 per session
- Coaching can be a one-meeting consult, but usually continues for several months. Many clients return as new issues arise.
- ADHD coaching is not covered by insurance, so payment is on a cash only basis
Types of ADHD Coaching
Adult Coaching
It takes a lot of energy to make your way in the world with ADHD, and it can leave you feeling misunderstood, frustrated and angry. Working with a coach to learn how your brain works can help you develop new skills, hacks and workarounds to get things done—and to be gracious to yourself when you don’t.
Parent/Family Coaching
Raising children with ADHD isn’t easy, and traditional parenting methods don’t always work. If you feel like you’re constantly in crisis mode and out of ideas, we can help you develop strategies that work. Parent/Family coaching is designed to help you navigate challenges and learn ways to help your whole family become the best version of themselves.
Student Coaching
You want your child to believe they not only have the capacity to manage life’s complexities, but also the ability to do it successfully. Learning how ADHD affects their life can help them navigate it by developing new skills and attitudes to help them get things done. ADHD coaching can help your child take the driver’s seat in writing their own unique ADHD story.
Relationship Coaching
A relationship + ADHD sometimes equals a rocky road. If you’re in a relationship with someone who has (or might have) ADHD, you likely feel frustrated, angry, ignored or lonely. Understanding the role ADHD plays in this and learning to identify the challenges it presents is essential—and it can help you both create specific steps to strengthen, repair or rebuild the relationship.
Social Skills
Research shows those with better social-emotional skills have stronger attention skills, fewer learning challenges and more success in academic settings. Like proficiency in math or English, skills like empathy, emotional management, relationship development, self-awareness and social awareness can be developed and grown over time.
