Coaching for ADHD
- ADHD coaching involves supporting you in overcoming challenges and achieving goals in a way that is ADHD friendly. ADHD coaches have specialized training in how the ADHD brain works. Your ADHD coach will provide an assessment of your executive functions to uncover your strengths, weakness to build to a plan for treatment.
- Together, we will build a plan for success in the areas of work, education, relationships, home life, and self-management. Through one to one sessions and group work, coaches support you in developing an action plan, creating goals, while helping you strengthen skills such as time management, organization, planning/prioritizing, task initiation and completing, working memory, stress tolerance, and emotion regulation. Learning about your unique brain, understanding your executive functions and how to strengthen them is the cornerstone of ADHD coaching.
- Many people with ADHD often have difficulty with staying on task and maintaining focus, motivation and organization. A coach can help with procrastination, overwhelm, and self-regulation. A coach can teach strategies, skills, and offer a safe space for processing feelings and experiences, while offering accountability to support you in gaining forward momentum to improve quality of life, to help you reach your goals, and to unlock your true potential
