You know what you need to do. You just can’t get yourself to do it. The to-do list is there. The calendar is there. The plan is there. And somehow, none of it translates into actually getting the thing done. That’s not a motivation problem. That’s an executive functioning problem, and it’s one of the most common and most frustrating parts of living with ADHD.
Executive functioning coaching at Kind Mind Psychology is designed specifically for this. It’s not therapy. It’s not a replacement for therapy. It’s a focused, practical, skills-based approach to building the systems and structures that help you manage your time, start tasks, stay organized, follow through, and create a daily life that actually works with your brain instead of against it.
Coaching sessions are structured around the real, concrete challenges that ADHD creates in everyday life. We work on the skills that matter most to you, which often include:
Time management and time awareness. Understanding where your time goes, building realistic schedules, and working with time blindness instead of pretending it doesn’t exist.
Task initiation. Getting started is often the hardest part. We develop strategies for breaking through the paralysis that happens when a task feels too big, too boring, or too ambiguous.
Organization and planning. Creating systems for tracking responsibilities, managing deadlines, and keeping your physical and digital spaces functional. Not someone else’s system. Yours.
Prioritization. Figuring out what actually needs to happen first when everything feels equally urgent (or equally unimportant).
Follow-through and completion. Starting things is hard. Finishing them is harder. We work on the gap between intention and execution.
Emotional regulation around productivity. The shame spiral that kicks in when you fall behind, the anxiety of feeling like you’re always forgetting something, and the frustration of knowing you’re capable but not performing the way you want to. Coaching addresses the emotional layer too.
Daily structure and routines. Building morning routines, evening routines, work routines, and transition strategies that account for how ADHD actually works.
ADHD therapy at Kind Mind addresses the emotional, relational, and psychological dimensions of ADHD: rejection sensitivity, shame, self-worth, relationship patterns, trauma, and the years of being told you’re lazy when you were actually struggling. Therapy goes deep.
Coaching is focused on the surface-level stuff that has a massive impact on your daily functioning. It’s practical, action-oriented, and built around specific goals. A coaching session might involve mapping out a system for managing your inbox, troubleshooting why your morning routine keeps falling apart, or figuring out how to break a large project into steps your brain can actually start.
Many of our clients do both. Therapy handles the emotional weight of ADHD. Coaching builds the scaffolding for daily life. They complement each other, but they’re not the same thing, and you don’t need to do both. You can start with whichever one feels most urgent.
Executive functioning coaching is for adults and older teens with ADHD (or suspected ADHD) who are looking for practical support with the day-to-day organizational and productivity challenges that ADHD creates. It’s especially helpful if you’re a professional managing a demanding workload, you’ve been recently diagnosed and are building new systems from scratch, you’re a student navigating academic responsibilities, you’re a parent with ADHD trying to manage both your own needs and your household, or you’ve done therapy and feel emotionally solid but still can’t seem to get your external life organized.
You don’t need a formal ADHD diagnosis to start coaching, though many of our clients do have one.
Along with individual ADHD and executive functioning coaching, we also offer an ADHD/EF coaching class for those who benefit from learning alongside others with similar experiences. These services can provide practical support with organization, time management, planning, prioritizing, follow-through, and other everyday challenges related to executive functioning.
Our ADHD/EF coaching class meets on Mondays at 1 p.m. EST. Whether you prefer individualized guidance or a supportive group learning environment, coaching can help you build strategies that fit your needs and daily life.
Unlike therapy, which requires state-specific licensure, executive functioning coaching is available to clients anywhere in the United States. You don’t need to live in New York, New Jersey, or North Carolina to work with us on coaching. Sessions are conducted virtually.
Individual Executive functioning / ADHD coaching starts at $85 per session. Our ADHD/EF coaching class is $50.
Coaching is not covered by insurance, as it is not a clinical mental health service. For full details on all of our fees and payment options, visit our Insurance & Fees page.
Executive functioning coaching is a focused, skills-based service that helps you build practical strategies for the daily living challenges that come with ADHD. It covers time management, task initiation, organization, prioritization, planning, and daily routines. Coaching is not therapy — it doesn’t address emotional or relational issues. It’s the practical scaffolding that helps you structure your day and follow through on the things that matter to you.
ADHD therapy addresses the emotional and relational impact of ADHD — rejection sensitivity, shame, self-worth, anxiety, depression, relationship patterns, and the years of being misunderstood. Coaching addresses the practical executive functioning challenges — time management, organization, task initiation, prioritization. Many clients do both. Therapy handles the weight. Coaching builds the scaffolding.
No. Executive functioning coaching is not a clinical mental health service and is not covered by insurance. Sessions start at $85. If you’re looking for insurance-covered services, ADHD therapy is covered by the insurance plans we accept (Aetna, Cigna, BCBS in NC, Northwell Direct in NY).
Yes. Because coaching is not a licensed clinical service, it doesn’t require state-specific licensure. Executive functioning coaching at Kind Mind is available nationwide — you can work with our coaching team from any state.
Coaching is for adults and teens (12+) with ADHD who need help building practical daily living skills. It’s particularly useful for people who are medicated and/or in therapy but still struggling with the structural, organizational, and time management aspects of daily life. It’s also a good fit for people who want focused, goal-oriented support without the broader scope of therapy.
