FAQ about ADHD Coaching
General Questions
Do you offer virtual coaching?
Yes! All sessions are held via Zoom so we can meet wherever you are. I see clients Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday between 9:00-4:00 Central Time.
Is this confidential?
Absolutely. The client’s privacy is respected and protected in every conversation.
Do you work with parents of college students?
Yes! I offer parents a complimentary introductory hour to go over the challenges your student faces and how coaching can help. After that initial conversation, the coaching relationship honors the confidentiality of the student. I encourage all my college clients to have open dialog with their parents.
How soon can we get started?
Once we connect, we can typically begin coaching within 1–2 weeks, depending on availability. For college students, we typically begin first or second week of the semester.
Do you take insurance?
At this time insurance does not cover coaching.
College Undergraduates with ADHD
How can coaching help if I already have academic accommodations but I’m still struggling?
Accommodations give you support on paper, but coaching helps you build actual tools to manage time, motivation, and follow-through in real life.
I know what I need to do—but I just don’t do it. Can coaching really help with that?
Yes. That’s an ADHD executive function challenge. Coaching helps you create a system that works with your brain to start and finish tasks more consistently.
What if I’m too far behind to catch up?
Coaching meets you where you are. Together, we’ll make a plan to get unstuck, even if you’re overwhelmed or ready to quit.
Will my parents be involved?
That depends on your preference. Some students prefer full independence, others benefit from a short joint check-in at the start. Your coaching is confidential.
Can you help with more than just academics—like motivation, emotions, or stress?
Absolutely. Coaching is holistic. We work on practical strategies and emotional regulation, mindset, and confidence.
Graduate Students (Master’s and Doctoral)
I feel completely stuck on my thesis/dissertation. Can coaching really help me finish?
Yes. We work together to build a customized system to help you write, revise, and submit—without burning out or beating yourself up.
I work well under pressure… until I don’t. Can you help me avoid crashing before every deadline?
Coaching helps you find a sustainable pace, so you can make progress without living in emergency mode.
What if I don’t even know why I’m procrastinating?
That’s a very common experience for ADHD thinkers. Coaching helps uncover hidden barriers—perfectionism, decision paralysis, or fear—and gives you tools to move through them.
How is coaching different from therapy?
Coaching is forward-focused. We work on practical strategies, goal-setting, and accountability. It’s not about healing the past—it’s about getting traction now.
I’m afraid I’m not cut out for grad school. What if I’m just not good enough?
That inner critic is loud, especially in the dissertation phase. Coaching helps you separate your identity from your struggles—and rediscover your confidence and competence.
Professionals & Entrepreneurs with ADHD
Why can’t I keep up with everything—even though I care so much and work so hard?
Because ADHD affects how you manage your time, energy, and focus—not your intelligence or work ethic. Coaching helps you create systems that work with your brain.
I keep starting things but never finishing. Can coaching help with follow-through?
Yes. We’ll find the friction points and build realistic strategies for finishing what matters most.
How can I grow my business or succeed at work without constant burnout?
We’ll clarify your priorities, set healthy limits, and design a workflow that protects your focus and energy.
I’m ashamed of how disorganized I am. Will coaching make me feel worse?
Not at all. Coaching is a judgment-free zone. You’ll receive empathy, structure, and practical help—not shame.
I’ve tried planners, productivity hacks, and apps. Nothing sticks. Why would this be different?
ADHD coaching is personalized. Instead of trying to force you into a system, we build one around you—your values, your patterns, and what actually works.
