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.
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.
Executive functioning / ADHD coaching starts at $85 per session. 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.
ADHD therapy addresses the emotional, relational, and psychological impact of ADHD, including rejection sensitivity, shame, depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship patterns. It uses evidence-based modalities like CBT and DBT. Executive functioning coaching is focused specifically on building practical skills for time management, organization, task initiation, and daily structure. Many clients benefit from both, but they serve different purposes.
No. If you’re experiencing challenges with executive functioning, whether or not you have a formal diagnosis, coaching can help. That said, if you suspect you may have ADHD and haven’t been evaluated, we can discuss whether an assessment might be a helpful first step.
No. Coaching is not a clinical mental health service and is not covered by insurance. Sessions are $85 and up, paid out of pocket.
Yes. Many of our clients work with one clinician for ADHD therapy and receive coaching as a complement to that work, either from the same provider or a different one. Your clinician can help you determine what combination makes the most sense for your needs.
Executive functioning coaching is available nationwide via virtual sessions. You do not need to live in one of our licensed states to receive coaching services.
