What is Coaching?
Coaching is a treatment that focuses on the present and the future. We don’t spend time looking at past issues, feelings, thought patterns, or relationships. Instead, we work where the rubber meets the road! Bring your backpack, your planner, your hopes and your dreams. Using strategies, tools and activities, a coach helps clients unlock the potential that already exists within them. During coaching, student clients will receive support with their organization, time management, self advocacy, homework/project management, future planning, and cognitive flexibility.
How long are sessions?
Coaching sessions should take place weekly and will be 45-55 minutes in length and consist of; coach/client rapport building, strategy/tool introduction or review, school-based discussions, action tasks, and plan building for post-session momentum. Student clients may be asked to bring the following items to sessions; laptop, homework, important emails about future planning, login information for learning platforms and/or activity schedules.
Ideally, clients will work with their coach for a minimum of 12-14 weeks.
Are parents involved in coaching?
Parents are an integral part of the coaching process. They may be invited into session at the start or end to ensure that support is being fully wrapped around the student client.
Who is a good candidate for coaching?
Coaching clients are young adults who have (or are open to cultivating) a growth mindset. They should be interested in personal growth and self awareness, and be willing to learn more about the heights they can reach through actively strengthening their executive function skills.
Clients do not need to be independent goal setters or high achievers to thrive in coaching. They simply need to be open & willing to uncover their true potential and step out of their comfort zone to gain new strategies.
ADHD Coaching
ADHD coaching is designed for individuals ages 13 and older. Because ADHD often affects executive functioning, coaching focuses on practical, everyday skills. Specifically, we help clients improve task prioritization, time management, organization, and follow-through.
In addition, coaching addresses procrastination, schedule management, and keeping track of belongings. Clients also learn how to develop personalized study strategies, improve motivation, and build systems that support success. Along the way, we help individuals identify their peak hours of performance, understand how they learn best, and set realistic, achievable goals.
For parents, ADHD coaching can also reduce stress at home. By supporting teens with homework management and organization, coaching helps shift the focus away from daily conflict and toward a healthier parent-child relationship.
On-Ramp to Adulthood Coaching
On-Ramp to Adulthood Coaching supports individuals ages 16 to 25 as they transition from high school into adulthood. This stage can feel especially challenging for young people with ADHD, learning differences, anxiety, depression, OCD, or autism.
While academic ability may be strong, psychiatric symptoms can make independence difficult. In fact, many capable students struggle during their first year of college or early employment. Because of this, coaching focuses on more than academics alone.
Through coaching, young adults identify their strengths, challenges, and personal goals. Coaches also help connect clients with community resources and supports when needed. Most importantly, this service builds essential life skills such as planning, problem-solving, and self-advocacy—that are necessary for long-term success in adulthood.
