ADHD COACHING FOR ADULTS
Adult ADHD is more common than you think.
However, a person is typically only diagnosed once the symptoms have become severe enough to impact their wellbeing in multiple areas of life like Education, Employment, Relationships, Physical Health and etc.
Looking for ADHD strategies and treatments?
If you have arrived on this page, the chances are high that you or someone you know is struggling in some way with a combination of symptoms related to adult ADHD.
A Professional ADHD Coach may be the answer!
ADHD coaching for adults includes behavioral therapy, counselling, and coaching to address each symptom and overcome the problems that arise. We start with an assessment of your executive functioning. This will highlight your strengths and areas of challenge. We use proven methods to break down personal barriers, and personalized strategies designed for your brain and your life!
SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES
Families living with ADHD
Sometimes struggle to balance the needs (and challenges) of children and parents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder with those of neurotypical siblings, parents, grandparents, and other relatives who may not understand ADHD symptoms.
We provide support to parents navigating the diagnoses, making decisions about treatment, advocating with the school system and finding parenting techniques that work for the family (using evidence based strategies).
We also provide counselling for children who are struggling with ADHD symptoms.
