FAQ

Therapy focuses on healing emotional pain, resolving past conflicts, and improving psychological well-being. It often looks at how past experiences affect someone’s current emotional health. Coaching, however, is all about helping people grow personally and professionally by setting clear, actionable goals for the future. While positive emotions can result from coaching and coaching will create a more positive mindset, the main focus is on creating strategies to achieve specific outcomes in life or work. Coaching emphasizes taking action, being accountable, and following through to reach those goals.

Unfortunately, coaching is not yet covered by insurance. However, clients with an FSA, HSA, (Flexible or Health Spending account) or a wellness benefit from their employer are able to dedicate those funds for ADHD coaching. Please contact your benefits provider regarding any questions on how to utilize your HSA/FSA benefits. We are happy to provide the necessary documentation.

Change takes time, and the coaching process which involves creating and instilling new habits and routines is no different. We typically recommend committing to at least 3 months to really experience the benefits. Some clients find that 3 months is enough, while others continue for 6-12 months or even longer. For instance, some students might choose to work with a coach for a semester, while others may continue throughout the academic year. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach—each coaching journey is tailored to fit your unique needs and goals.

Yes, I work with clients with ADHD, suspected ADHD, executive function challenges, and neurotypicals who want to reach their goals and thrive personally and professionally.

Currently, there’s no official licensing requirement to become a professional coach. This means anyone can call themselves a coach, even without formal training. However, there is a recognized path to becoming certified. PAAC (Professional Association for ADHD Coaches) is the global certifying body for ADHD coaches, and ICF (International Coaching Federation) is the leading certifier for professional life coaches. I’ve met the rigorous standards to earn both the PCAC (Professional Certified ADHD Coach) and PCC (Professional Certified Coach) designations. To achieve these credentials, coaches must complete an accredited training program, log a significant number of coaching hours, receive mentor coaching, and submit coaching session recordings to demonstrate their skills.
