“If you knew that you could create a life you truly desire and knew that you couldn’t fail what would it look like?”

WHAT IS ADHD COACHING?

ADHD Coaching is a collaborative partnership created to facilitate personal growth and awareness which leads to conscious choice, focused action and a manageable life. My ADHD coaching style is designed to enable people reach their full potential through honest conversation that is built upon unconditional acceptance and an appreciation of a person’s condition from personal experience. Through this process we examine a person's potential, uniqueness, strengths, capabilities, and wholeness. I know what you are going through because I have been there. I am located in Austin, TX, but am available to offer coaching across the United States via many video streaming services. All I know is that I want to be there for those who need the help and encouragement to live their best life possible.

Most Common Questions

ADHD Coaching vs Therapy

Therapy often focuses on healing pain, dysfunction and relationship conflict arising from situations in the past. The focus is on resolving these past difficulties to improve overall psychological functioning in the present. Coaching is focused on identifying what the client wants in the here and nowand how to achieve those goals. Coaching is future focused.

Testimonials

Several months into the pandemic I was diagnosed with ADHD after seeking help when I struggled working from home. I had no idea what I was doing or what my goals were, I just knew I wanted to feel “better." Michael helped me figure out what to focus on and, maybe more importantly, he kept track of my progress and constantly thought of what’s best for me. He considered whether I needed to focus on coaching vs. my therapy based on how well I was following up on our ideas. Being diagnosed and talking with other folks who have ADHD has really helped me figure myself out and I'm very grateful for that.

When I started working with Mike, I had a sizeable life goal sitting in front of me. While it was vaguely mapped out, I was stalling to execute and getting in my own way. Four months later the path is laid, and I can now say I'm walking forward and goals are crystalizing!

I'm also a life-long ADHD human and the struggle has always been real. I never felt uncomfortable with Mike as a coach; there may have been "good" discomfort in the form of what comes naturally when you wrestle with difficult blockage, but Mike showed me how to lead myself through it.
