Executive Function Coaching
What is Executive Function Coaching?
Executive Function (EF) coaching is a practical, skill-based approach designed to help children, teens, and young adults strengthen the skills they need to manage everyday demands more independently and successfully.
Executive functioning skills help us plan, organize, get started, manage our time, regulate our emotions and attention, adapt when things don’t go as planned, and follow through on goals. When these skills are challenging, everyday tasks—such as completing homework, keeping track of assignments, getting out the door on time, or managing responsibilities can become overwhelming.
Coaching is collaborative and individualized. Rather than simply telling a student what to do, the goal is to help them understand how their own brain works, identify strategies that fit their needs, and gradually build greater independence and confidence.
Each Executive Function Coaching session is $125. Bundled pricing is available at the link below.
EF coaching provides individualized strategies, structure, and support to help strengthen skills such as:
Planning & Organization – Breaking larger goals into manageable steps, organizing materials, and keeping track of responsibilities.
Time Management – Estimating time, prioritizing tasks, meeting deadlines, and creating realistic schedules.
Task Initiation – Overcoming procrastination and learning strategies for getting started independently.
Working Memory – Holding information in mind while completing tasks and following multi-step directions.
Cognitive Flexibility – Adjusting to changes, considering different perspectives, and shifting strategies when something isn’t working.
Inhibitory Control & Attention – Managing distractions and impulses in order to stay focused and follow through.
Emotional Regulation – Managing frustration, stress, and strong emotions that can interfere with problem-solving and task completion.
Self-Monitoring – Developing greater awareness of one’s own habits, progress, and behavior and learning to make adjustments independently.
Social Skills – Strengthening communication, perspective-taking, problem-solving, and other skills that support successful relationships.
Who can benefit from Executive Function Coaching?
Executive Function Coaching may be helpful for children, teens, and young adults who struggle with organization, procrastination, time management, motivation, attention, emotional regulation, flexibility, or following through with responsibilities.
Coaching can also support parents and caregivers who want practical strategies for helping their child develop these skills without becoming the constant reminder, organizer, or problem-solver.
Coaching vs. therapy: what’s the difference?
Coaching focuses on skill development, goal-setting, and actionable strategies for personal growth, while therapy addresses mental health conditions, emotional processing, and deeper psychological work.
