Certified ADHD Coaching for College Students:
Helping Your Student Build Independence, Confidence and Follow-Through

College can be overwhelming for students with ADHD, and for the parents that love them. Many parents come to me feeling worried, exhausted, and unsure of how to help without overstepping. With certified, experienced ADHD coaching, your student can have the structure, support and accountability they need to succeed in college and beyond.
 

​​If you're here as a parent, you might be wondering:​​

​

  • "How can my student learn to manage college life independently — without me constantly checking in, reminding, or worrying?"

  • “What happens when no one is reminding them about deadlines, checking grades or stepping in before things spiral?”

  • "I've tried everything: calendars, apps, whiteboards, planners. Why doesn't anything stick?"

  • “I know they're capable but what if procrastination, poor time management, or incomplete work gets in the way of their potential?

  • How will they cope with stress, overwhelm, or setbacks when they’re far from home and under real pressure?

If these questions sound familiar, you’re not alone, and your student doesn’t have to navigate college alone.

Through structured, compassionate coaching, I help college students develop the executive function, time-management, and self-advocacy skills they need to succeed on their own. So, as a parent, you can step back from constant reminders and micromanaging, knowing your student is supported, capable and learning the skills they'll carry far beyond college. 

Let's talk about how ADHD coaching can support your student.
