Why use subscriptions?

We have ADHD, so regardless of how important we think a task is, we may still have a hard time scheduling it. In fact, the more important the task, the harder it might be to initiate.

This is not some trick to get you locked into services. It’s actually an adaptive strategy called friction-reduction. I want you to have as few barriers as possible, life is hard enough.

My packages and subscriptions are meant to be supportive of you and can be cancelled at any time, see the Terms and Conditions for details.

How does the subscription work?

The renewal is monthly and managed through Paypal.  If you would like your subscription to sync with a calendar month, make sure to sign up for the subscription on the 1st of the month.  If you want to start sooner than the 1st but want your billing to be by calendar month, we can arrange that.  You get the confirmations via email and you can easily reschedule any that don’t work for you by clicking a link on the confirmation of that session.

There is not an option to pause a subscription, but you can cancel at any time! Even midway through a month.   

Because I offer a fixed number of subscriptions, taking a month off does not save a space on my schedule when you are ready to return.  If you unsubscribe, your spot may be given to someone else if there is a waitlist. If you want to return and there are no subscriptions available, you’re welcome to still get a discount through the packages of 5 sessions and book weekly until there is an opening. 

Insurance and Payments

Unfortunately coaching services are rarely, if ever, covered by insurance.

I do offer some ways to get discounts on the services:
Packages. Prepaying for a package offers significant discounts. Please see the services page for details.
Sliding Scale. I will sometimes offer a sliding scale for existing subscription clients who come into financial hardship and need temporary assistance.
Meetups. I regularly contribute to a few Meetup groups where I give talks and answer questions as an ADHD coach. These are not custom sessions for you, but do provide a great coaching resource and ADHD community. Check here for my next scheduled talk.

Services are prepaid so that you never have to worry about outstanding invoices. Prepaid services are refundable, please see the Terms and Conditions for details.

Scheduling

Scheduling with me is easy. I use Acuity Scheduling so you have access to all available times to choose from. It allows you to book, cancel, or reschedule services up to 24 hours in advance. The easiest way to rebook is to use the link in that session’s confirmation page. If you create a login for acuity, you can also reschedule from your account.

Topics Covered in Coaching

We can talk about any aspect of your life that is affected by ADHD. Clients commonly come to me for general ADHD advice and organizational skills, and we end up tackling long-neglected adulting topics like following up on overdue appointments, taking steps to reconnect broken relationships, or how to declutter a home. I can normalize the struggles you are facing and walk you through every step without judgement or shame. This is exactly why I am here!

When something comes up in a session that is a better topic for a medical professional, like an addiction, eating disorder, or other comorbid condition, I will help you frame it from an ADHD perspective but encourage you to seek treatment from a medical provider.

Topics not covered in coaching

Generally you are ready for coaching after you have been working with a therapist. Therapy is designed to help with mental health issues and processing feelings and emotions from past or current events. ADHD Coaching is designed to help you move forward and build executive function skills and adaptive strategies.

Although there may be some overlap between therapy and coaching, you can expect a gentle redirect from me if we drift toward a topic that is better handled by a licensed therapist.

Finally, I do not provide medical advice. I may point you to resources from ADHD medical professionals or discuss those topics, but it is for educational purposes only and all medical decisions should be made between you and your prescriber.

Medical Prescribers for ADHD

I do not formally recommend specific prescribers or practitioners, but a good place for recommendations may be the local Chadd Chapter or asking the members of one of the Meetup Groups I lead.
