ADD Coaching is a very individualized process in which the coach and client collaborate on designing a plan specific to the needs, strengths, weaknesses, and personality of the client.

ADD Coaching is a supportive, goal-oriented process, in which the coach and the client work together to develop the needed skills for the client to reach pre-determined goals. Because coaching is so individualized,

I offer a variety of Coaching Options to meet your needs. The steps to coaching are as easy as

ONE

TWO

 THREE !

     1. Schedule a 15 minute Free Consult appointment here.

      2. Schedule a two hour Intake Appointment. (Fee: $400.00).

        3. Complete and return the forms you receive, at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment.

At the end of the Intake Appointment, the client and coach determine which of the available coaching options is most appropriate to best meet the clients needs.

Fees are paid weekly, 24 hours prior to service. A commitment of three months is strongly recommended as it takes that long before any real change can begin to take place.  Your monthly rate is determined by the Coaching Option format chosen. Please see the chart below for details.

Fees range from $75.00, for one half hour session, to $175.00, for a 60 minute session with ongoing medication & journal monitoring, and unlimited texts & emails between sessions. Coaching services are not covered by insurance.

The average adult ADD client schedules weekly, thirty to sixty minute sessions, for six months to a year, followed by decreasing services as projected goals are reached. Once a client is able to maintain/sustain the new habits developed through their coaching process, on their own, for three months, without backsliding, the client moves to the maintenance phase of coaching. The maintenance phase of coaching consists of one to three appointments per year, for a coaching "tune-up" to prevent backsliding.

Payment is made via Pay Pal*, unless otherwise specified.  Please understand, I cannot accept checks until our working relationship is well established. If you prefer not to use PayPal, you may pay by money order, as long as it is received prior to our appointment.

Sessions can take place in your home, office, by telephone, Skype, or iChat. If you live within a 60-mile radius, of Stamford, CT, one home session, within the first month, is suggested. There is a $50.00 gas fee for home visits beyond 20 miles. I presently do not charge for travel time.

What you get for your money...

•   the convenience of in-home, phone, or video appointments
•   the savings on gas & wear & tear on you and your car!

1. Plan 1- Standard Coaching - Four, sixty minute sessions, per month, with 1 each pre-session email informing me of your agenda. This is usually most appropriate for those who are newly diagnosed, feel their lives are outof control, have multiple family members within the household diagnosed with ADD, or those who have not yet met with significant symptomatic relief dispite their best efforts. A three-month commitment is required. Payment is due on the 25th of each month, for the following month's sessions.

2. Plan 2- Brief Coaching - Four, thirty minute phone sessions per month, with 1 each, pre-session email informing me of your agenda. This is usually most appropriate for those who have been receiving comprehensive, multi-model intervention and, if on medication, are considered to be at a therapeutic dose. These individuals are not in crisis, but believe there are still a few missing pieces to their particular ADD puzzle. A one-month commitment is required. Payment for the month is due before the first session.

3. Plan 3 - One Time Consultation: One thirty or sixty-minute session, 1 to 4 times a year. This is for those who have been living with ADD for some time and whose situation is truly under control. This group can benefit from using a coach, on an as needed basis, one to four times a year, as situations arise.

4. Plan 4 - Flexi-Consult: Because everyone's needs are different, I offer the option of mutually designing a coaching plan which fits your particular situation and needs. If you need weekly coaching support, but the $600.00 a month isn't in your budget, you don't have to forgo coaching altogether. Together, we can create a coaching plan that provides some degree of support, without stressing your finances.

Here are a just few examples of the type of coaching schedules that can be arranged for you.
