Students We Support

Many college students have the intelligence and motivation to succeed, but struggle with the executive function skills needed to translate that potential into strong academic performance. Whether you're struggling with procrastination, feeling overwhelmed by coursework, or want to optimize your study habits, our evidence-based approach helps students achieve their academic potential and build lasting confidence. Our executive function coaching services support many different types of students, including:

  • Those diagnosed with ADHD, ASD, processing disorders, or other learning differences who need support with organization, time management, and planning. A majority of our students have ADHD.

  • Students who consistently delay starting assignments, struggle with time estimation, and find themselves in crisis mode before deadlines, regardless of their academic ability.

  • Starting college means managing more independence than ever before.

  • Students who excelled in structured high school settings but feel overwhelmed by the self-direction required in college, and are experiencing their first academic difficulties.

  • Anyone struggling with planning, organization, working memory, cognitive flexibility, or self-monitoring, whether or not they have a formal diagnosis.

  • Perfectionist students who take on too much, struggle to prioritize effectively, and experience burnout from trying to excel in every area.

  • Those whose mental health challenges interfere with their ability to organize, plan, prioritize, and follow through on academic tasks, creating a cycle of stress and avoidance.

  • Transfer students, adult learners, or those returning after time off, who need to develop new study systems and time management strategies for their current life circumstances.

Who Else Benefits?

Parents: Parents gain greater peace of mind knowing their college student is receiving professional support, allowing them to step back and focus on being emotionally supportive rather than feeling like they need to manage their young adult’s academic life remotely.

The result: Stronger family relationships and increased student independence

Key Benefits of Executive Function Coaching

Executive function coaching creates lasting change. Research demonstrates that coaching produces significant improvements in students’ academic and personal lives. Participants report better organization, reduced stress, and increased self-confidence- changes that ripple through their entire college experience. These benefits contribute to improved grades, higher retention rates, and overall satisfaction with the college experience.

Enhanced Executive Function Skills

Executive function coaching strengthens cognitive skills like organization, time management, and sustained attention. Students develop strategies to manage coursework, create effective schedules, break down assignments, and handle academic stress, improving both grades and confidence.

Increased Self-Awareness and Confidence

Executive function coaching helps students understand how their unique profiles, whether they have ADHD or not, impact their learning and behavior, fostering greater self-awareness. This understanding builds confidence as students recognize their strengths and develop coping strategies for their challenges.

Improved Emotional Regulation

Managing emotions can be challenging for many students, including those with ADHD. Coaching provides students with tools and techniques to help them regulate their emotions, helping to reduce test anxiety, manage stress and frustration, and promote greater emotional stability.

Stronger Accountability and Motivation

Executive function coaching fosters accountability through regular check-ins and personalized tracking systems. As students experience consistent success and develop self-monitoring skills to stay on track with their goals, they build intrinsic motivation and confidence that sustains them through academic challenges.

Support for Life Skills Beyond Academics

Executive function coaching isn’t limited to academic concerns; it also addresses essential life skills, including communication, self-advocacy, and daily living tasks. This holistic approach prepares students for the broader challenges of college life and beyond.
