Adult Executive Function & ADHD Coaching

Heck no! We work with adults of all ages and phases of their career. Until recently, scientists didn’t believe the brain could continue to grow and develop beyond a certain age. Thanks to neuroplasticity, or the ability to rewire your brain at any age, you are never too old to learn new skills or build new habits.

Great! Executive Function Coaching is a great tool for you to embrace so that you can learn to maximize your strengths and work with the areas needing more support. Many adults are diagnosed with ADHD later in life and we are happy to help you navigate these challenges as they present in your personal and professional life.

Each individual coaching session will vary, but you can be assured that sessions are conducted in a uniquely personable and collaborative manner with plenty of opportunity for discussion and conversation, using examples from your real life to build upon and practice your newfound skills.

In each session, you can expect a recap of the previous week, discussing how you were able to integrate your newly learned skills, and/or challenges you faced. A new skill or topic may be introduced, or perhaps a continuation of one. Your session wraps up with the completion of your Reflection Journal that allows you to provide feedback on your session, commit to a plan between sessions, and become aware of your next steps.

Your Reflection Journal, along with your ever-growing Executive Function Toolkit, is housed in a Google Drive where you and your coach will share access to collaborate.

We typically suggest 1 session per week, for 45 minutes to an hour as a starting point but we encourage you to work with your coach to determine a schedule that works best for you and your lifestyle.

Your total number of coaching sessions will depend on a number of factors as determined in your intake. As you begin to work with your coach and discuss your area(s) of focus, you will have a better understanding of your estimated total number of sessions.

Your initial assessment is $425+GST from which you will recieve a Learning Profile Assessment, a Client Learner Profile and a Summary Report. These documents are uniquely designed to communicate results to you in an easy-to-understand language with visuals to explain your strengths and areas to support. They can be helpful to share with anyone working with you in a learning and development environment such as colleagues, workplace team members, or tutors, TAs, professors, etc., if you return to post-secondary. After your initial intake, each coaching session is billed at $150+GST per hour.

Coaching fees may be covered by some health care plans; check with your individual provider for coverage. Kaizen’s coaching program is supervised by a Registered Psychologist which is important to note when making a claim to your insurance provider. Proof of a diagnosis from your health care provider will likely be required. In some circumstances, coaching services can be claimed on your personal tax return. Also, consult with your employer about possibly accessing professional development funds to subsidize the costs of coaching.
