Individualized Coaching
Ongoing Hourly Sessions
We provide one-on-one Executive Function, ADHD, & Academic Coaching for students and adults.
Most clients benefit from hour-long coaching sessions once or twice a week. During each session, a coach and client discuss and work through the most pressing and achievable goals for that day or week while keeping in mind the client’s broader Executive Function goals.
In addition to modeling and rehearsing skills in session, coaches identify opportunities for the client to practice these skills throughout the week and can provide customized resources or tools.
Coaching For Adults
Our coaches will work with you to identify and strengthen areas of your Executive Function that are most important to your life now.
We see clients across the lifespan. Many clients come to us when they are going through major life transitions.
Coaching for Students
Our comprehensive coaching helps students identify and improve important skills that empower them to succeed in academics and beyond.
Depending on coach availability, we offer Academic Coaching in specific subjects.
Our typical clients are in grades 7 - college.
How does Executive Function Coaching work?
Our clients often come to us in a disorganized and demoralized state, having gotten plenty of negative feedback about chronic challenges.
An authentic relationship with an experienced and encouraging coach can make all the difference when it comes to developing more effective skills, habits, and systems.
Our coaching method follows a cycle of Modeling, Rehearsal, and Accountability.
-
Modeling is when someone you trust shows you how it’s done.
This could include using a planner effectively, handling stress while writing a paper, organizing a workflow, or identifying short and long-term goals.
Whatever the skill, trust is the key ingredient for impactful demonstration and learning.
-
Then comes Rehearsal, which is just what it sounds like: practicing skills and strategies, over and over.
Clients learn to make and recover from mistakes and to adapt these skills and strategies to their actual lives so that they can begin to experience competence and agency.
Rehearsal is all about practicing and problem-solving together so that eventually a client can practice and problem-solve independently.
-
Meaningful accountability is all about honest and encouraging feedback that reminds a client of their goals and development.
Unfortunately, clients often come to us demoralized and well-trained in focusing on negative feedback.
So our coaches are skilled at retraining clients to use feedback and setbacks as key opportunities to problem solve and practice important skills with an emphasis on progress and process rather than perfection.
