ADHD Coaching

What’s the difference between ADHD coaching and individual counseling?

  • Great question! ADHD coaching is often brief or less-frequent (say, once a month), and is focused on practical solutions, skills, and accommodation strategies.

  • We work to:

  • Get an up-to-date grasp on your particular blend of neurospice

  • Increase your meta-cognition (why you do what you do)

  • Repair your self-esteem (often gets hit hard)

  • Help you advocate for accommodations

  • Figure out what accommodations work best for you

  • Practice all kinds of skills, from planning and organizing, to communication and distress tolerance

    How much does it cost?

  • ADHD coaching is all out of pocket, $180 per hour.

  • Unlike therapy, you cannot get reimbursed by your insurer or use your out-of-network benefits.

    Do I have to live in IL, MI, and TN to be coached by you?

  • You also can reside anywhere and work with any ADHD coach you wish. It’s not bound by the same legal protections or ramifications as clinical therapy. In order to work with me clinically, you must reside and be in the states where I am licensed to practice: Tennessee, Illinois, and Michigan, and we adhere to a different, legally-protected set of standards and procedures.

Can you be my coach and then become my therapist, say, if I move into a state you are licensed in?

  • Nope. It’s a legal and ethical thing. If I’m your coach, I’ve taken on that role and it would be unethical for me to then shift toward being your therapist. But I’m happy to support you as you look for other options for therapy.

ADHD Professional Consultation & Coaching

 

Professional Consultation: Clinicians, meet solo or with a current client to learn how to better customize your treatment to affirm and welcome neurodivergence.

  • The fee for a consultation is $300 for a 60-minute session; if the session is a joint session with the client, the fee can be split between the therapist and the client.

ADHD Coaching: Brief, solution-focused work with clients on better understanding their unique experience of neurodivergence, how to build and adapt accommodation strategies, and skills practice galore. This is NOT Therapy (and once I coach you, I cannot become your therapist!)
