To understand if coaching is right for you or your child, ask yourself a few questions:  

• Are you or your child inherently motivated to achieve your goals, and to effect positive change? Coaches can help you define goals, identify and learn strategies, and incorporate them into daily life, but we can’t do it for you. Motivation needs to be intrinsically strong to see success.
• If you’re a parent thinking about this for your child, are you flexible? Quite often, our goals for our kids aren’t the same ones they have for themselves. And because motivation is so important to success in coaching, it’s important to be flexible. If we can effect positive change in one area, there’s a good chance that the thing that’s important to you will rise to the top for your kid over time. 

Very much so. While we have been trained by a renowned local ND therapist on how to adapt our practice to meet the needs of folks with ADHD, we are not healthcare providers and do not diagnose or treat any mental or physical health conditions.

But regardless if you have an ADHD diagnosis or not, we can help you recognize your unique traits and strengths, and work with you to adopt new skills and strategies to build on those strengths and fill in gaps.

Our coaches have been both trained in either life or academic coaching through Coach Training Edu, which is certified by the International Coaching Federation. Additionally, they have received intensive training about ADHD and coaching people with ADHD from Marcee Ben-Menachem, M.Ed, NBCT, LMHCA, a local therapist and co-founder of Neurodiverse Connections. 

Both also have extensive lived experience with ADHD and neurodiversity in their families (and some also have ADHD themselves).

That depends on your goals and starting point, but meaningful change won't happen in a single session — developing new skillsets takes time and practice, so the minimum commitment is to ensure you get meaningful value out of the coaching relationship. 

If the goal has a milestone or deadline (e.g. prepping for a job interview or SBA/finals exams), then we can certainly tailor the coaching journey to align with that but in the spirit of "repetition builds skill" the more time you allow for practice the better your outcome. This is particularly true for our younger clients. 

This is something we cover in more detail in your complimentary meet-n-greet appointment.

No, but if your insurance covers coaching you can request a superbill at the end of the month that you can submit to your insurance company.

Seeing results from one-on-one coaching requires a lot of autonomy on behalf of the coachee. They need to have agency over their actions and surroundings, to an extent, to make meaningful changes. We limit one-on-one coaching to ages 16 and up, with some limited exceptions for 14- and 15-year-olds. 

We address the needs of middle schoolers through executive function groups, which are lower committment and cost, and that help them build community and understanding of ADHD. 

For younger kids, the best way we can support them is by supporting their parents, so we offer parent connection groups. Check our our workshops + events page for more information.

We recommend attending the meet-and-greet appointment with your child, so that everyone's on the same page in terms of what we all want to accomplish together.  Subsequent sessions will be 1:1 between the coach and your child.  We do recommend parent sessions as well, but the frequency and cadence will depend on the age of the child and their goals. 

Some folks do very well with a coaching app on their phone or watch, as it aligns well with their natural self-motivation. An app can indeed support both the messaging of the work and the ongoing execution of an established coaching plan, and some have begun experimenting with basic goal-setting frameworks.

But without human-to-human interaction, much is lost in the coaching journey.  Even the most "AI-enabled" app can't interpret non-verbal cues such as body language or facial expressions, or even understand the nuances of the emotions behind the words.  Nor is it able to use intuition and life experience to "get beyond the ask" of the client and help them identify the real underlying need — and adapt along the way to ensure the coaching journey remains highly relevant and valuable to the client.
