1-on-1 Consultation

Service Description

I offer training to both adult clients with ADHD and parents of children with ADHD symptoms. 1. Parents of children with ADHD symptoms We work to turn parents into “special-energy coaches", creating a program according to the parent’s ability rather than strictly the child’s needs so that we can be sure it will be consistently implemented. We focus first on the parent emotional and behavioral habit loop, and how to shift that in order to be more effective communicators. ​ 2. Adult client with ADHD symptoms I meet with an adult client either online or in-person for a 90-minute diagnostic session, with spouses or significant others invited to attend for support if the client so desires. During the initial meeting, we set up an outline for an intervention program, generally involving five to ten one-hour sessions. 3. I provide specific assignments for clients to begin implementing following each meeting, and clients are encouraged to send me feedback about progress between meetings as well. My clients know that my success is their success, so I invite them to be in touch with questions throughout the entire intervention period. ​ Couples struggling due to ADHD behavior in one or both of the spouses We set up a program focused on communication, responsibility, uprooting poor habits and developing new productive ones, with empathy and mutual respect. Each person is given “homework” between meetings. This process can take from 5-12 meetings – a serious commitment by both partners brings quicker, and better, results.
