AD/HD Coaching & Skill Building for Young Men

"It is useful for you to have a coach… Your coach can help you get organized, stay on task, give you encouragement, or remind you to get back to work… A coach can be tremendously helpful in treating ADD."

From Driven to Distraction

Maximizing Strengths – Minimizing Limitations

For a young man challenged by AD/HD, my coaching provides him with the extra support, structure, accountability and insight he needs to thrive, succeed and contribute. Having a non-judgmental ally on his side creates a safe space for him to understand what’s holding him back. He develops skills and implements solutions to meet those challenges, so building self-confidence and self-esteem.

The coaching relationship can focus on:

• Planning and setting goals,
• Implementing organizational strategies,
• Developing effective techniques to enhance focus and concentration,
• Improving time management, planning and prioritization skills,
• Identifying his particular learning style and learning how to support and leverage it,
• Getting things done!

Along with creating structure and support, we will develop strategies to help him master crucial life skills:

• Communication and listening skills,
• Self-reliance and self-advocacy skills,
• Conflict resolution skills,
• Emotional intelligence skills.

As a result, he will be better equipped to make empowered, informed choices about education, drug and alcohol use, sexual activity, health and wellness, relationships, career.

By providing an external source of non-confrontational structure, coaching helps reduce tension and stress within the family. I work with the other professionals on your son’s team – physicians, psychiatrists, counselors, teachers – to coordinate services at home, school and work.

Coaching sessions can take place by phone or in person, with email contact provided in between for additional support and accountability.
