What is ADHD Life Coaching?
An ADHD Life Coach is someone who helps people decrease their struggles with their specific ADHD symptoms, and nurture positive change. We do this by partnering with the individual client (or group) in weekly sessions to examine the areas of their life they deem problematic and want to change. The coach helps the client foster awareness of what aspects of their life are helping or hindering them from achieving success. This relationship helps the client bridge the gap between where they are now and where they want to be. Each session we discuss the clients’ goals, break down the weekly chaos, and brainstorm creative solutions and strategies to help the client become the person they want to be.
What ADHD Life Coaching is NOT:
ADHD Life Coaches are not therapists, counselors, tutors, mentors, teachers, consultants, or advisors. We cannot diagnose ADHD. We do not tutor students with ADHD in whatever subject in which they may be struggling. We don’t dig deep into past traumas. We do not tell our clients what to do and solve their problems for them. We do not prescribe medication. We don’t give the client a lesson plan, or give homework on how to live their lives.

Testimonials:
Maddy has been instrumental in helping me organize, analyze, and work through the unique challenges that having ADHD presents. She is an advocate of getting me to learn how to overcome the day-to-day obstacles that arise in the course of living with ADHD, but is never afraid to support me with resources or her own thoughts when I request them. If an ADHD coach is supposed to make it easier for us to find a path forward towards the future that we want for ourselves, I can’t think of a better example than Maddy.
