Honest answers, including the ones that cost me the sale.

No. Every adult with ADHD is welcome here and nobody has ever been turned away.

But the work is deliberately built around the women's presentation, because that is the one that gets missed. Diagnosed years later, masked into exhaustion, tangled up with the invisible work of holding a household or a team together, and routinely mistaken for anxiety or a personality problem. Most of the examples I use come from there, and the group skews heavily female.

If you are a man reading this and it still sounds exactly like your life, you will get real value from this work and you are genuinely welcome. I would just rather you knew what the room is like before you walked into it than after.

No. College age onwards is exactly the range I work with, and honestly the earlier the better. Everything I teach took me until my thirties to work out by trial and error. Getting it at nineteen instead is the single biggest head start available.

If cost is the barrier at that stage, say so on the call. Kindred at $249 a month exists for a reason, and I would rather point you to free resources that are genuinely good than have you not get help at all.

Because you have almost certainly been trying solutions built for a brain with a working urgency response, and no amount of discipline converts one brain into the other. That is not a motivational line, it is the actual mechanism.

The honest answer is also that it might not be different. Some people need medication before any of this can land. Some need a therapist first, because what looks like procrastination is grief or anxiety wearing a costume. I will tell you on the free call if I think that is you, and I will not take your money to find out slowly.

Then you are exactly who this was designed for, and nothing bad happens.

Every part of my work assumes you will disappear and come back. Group calls are recorded. The course has no schedule you can fall behind on. There is no streak to break, no leaderboard, no email that says we missed you. Falling off is a feature of this condition, not evidence that you failed. If I built something that punished it, I would be selling you the same thing that has already failed you a dozen times.

Yes. Formal assessment is expensive, slow, and in many places genuinely inaccessible, and that is not a reason to leave someone without support. Given how routinely women get missed, self recognition is often the first accurate thing anyone has said about the situation.

I will not diagnose you and I will not tell you whether you have ADHD. If you want that answer, I will help you find someone properly qualified to give it to you.

No, and the difference matters. Therapy works on healing, on the past, on mental health conditions, and is delivered by licensed clinicians who are accountable to a board. Coaching is forward facing and practical. We work on what you are trying to build and what keeps stopping you.

If something comes up in our work that belongs with a therapist, I will say so directly and help you find one. That happens reasonably often and it is not a failure of the coaching.

Yes, and with people who do not, and with people still deciding. Medication is a conversation between you and your prescriber. I have no view I will push on you in either direction and I will never suggest you change a dose. What I will say is that medication tends to make a system easier to run, and it will not build the system for you. That part is the work.

Because I am charging for a combination that is genuinely rare rather than for hours. A survey of 481 US ADHD coaches published in JAMA Network Open in January found that 89% have no professional health background, over 90% work with no clinical supervision, and the median fee is around $150 a session.

I am a licensed clinician with a decade of practice, a psychology degree, severe combined type ADHD, and a business I built on it. I also keep the one to one list small on purpose, because the alternative is doing a worse job for more people. If the cost is not right for you, Kindred is $249 a month, a single session is $125, and CHADD and ADDA run genuinely good low cost and free support that I recommend without reservation.

Because they work better. A weekly half hour beats a monthly ninety minutes for almost everyone I have worked with: the gap is short enough that nothing gets lost, the session is short enough to stay sharp all the way through, and there is a checkpoint close enough ahead to be motivating.

The building does not happen in the session anyway. It happens between them, and I do that part.

Coaching is online and I work with clients across the United States. If you are in San Diego, a limited number of in person sessions can be arranged. Say so on the call.

No, and be careful of anyone in this field who does. Coaching outcomes depend on what you do between sessions and on circumstances neither of us controls. The research base for ADHD coaching is genuinely promising and genuinely young, and I would rather tell you that than quote you a percentage I cannot substantiate.

What I will promise is that I will tell you the truth about whether this is working, and if it is not, I will say so first.
