If you have ADHD—or you’re parenting someone who does—you’ve probably heard some version of “just try harder.”
The truth is, ADHD isn’t a character flaw or a lack of intelligence. It’s a difference in how the brain manages attention, motivation, planning, emotional regulation, and executive functioning. Many people with ADHD are creative, insightful, and capable, yet still struggle to consistently follow through on everyday responsibilities.
That’s where ADHD coaching can make a meaningful difference.
At Lucid Therapeutic Services, I help adolescents, college students, young adults, and adults develop practical strategies that work with their brains—not against them.
As a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor, Certified Parent Coach through the Jai Institute for Parenting, and an ADHD coach in training through ADDCA, I bring together evidence-based strategies with an understanding of how relationships, emotional regulation, and the nervous system influence everyday functioning.
Rather than relying on rigid productivity systems, we’ll discover what works for you. Together we’ll identify obstacles, build realistic routines, strengthen executive functioning skills, and create practical strategies that support long-term success.
My coaching is collaborative, strengths-based, and focused on helping clients in Nashville and surrounding areas, build confidence—not shame.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. That’s what coaching is for.
Please reach me at cole@lucidts.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
ADHD coaching is a collaborative, action-oriented process designed to help you bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it.
Unlike therapy, which often focuses on healing past experiences or treating mental health concerns, coaching is centered on building skills, creating structure, increasing accountability, and helping you achieve your personal, academic, or professional goals.
Many clients benefit from combining therapy and coaching to address both the emotional and practical sides of ADHD.
I work with:
Whether you’ve been recently diagnosed or have lived with ADHD for years, coaching can help you better understand how your brain works and create systems that fit your life.
Every coaching plan is individualized, but common areas of focus include: Time management, Organization, Planning and prioritizing, Executive functioning skills, Task initiation, Reducing procrastination, Emotional regulation, Goal setting, Building routines, Accountability, School performance, College success, Workplace productivity, Communication, Confidence and self-esteem
Our sessions emphasize practical strategies you can begin using immediately while building habits that become sustainable over time.
No. Therapy focuses on treating mental health concerns and processing emotional experiences. ADHD coaching focuses on developing practical skills, improving executive functioning, increasing accountability, and helping you achieve specific goals. Many people benefit from doing both.
Not necessarily. Some clients have a formal diagnosis, while others are exploring whether ADHD may be contributing to their challenges. Coaching can still help you improve organization, planning, and executive functioning regardless of where you are in that process.
Absolutely. ADHD affects the entire family system. Parent coaching can help caregivers better understand ADHD, reduce conflict, improve communication, and support their child’s growing independence.
Short answer is no - however I do offer a sliding scale to those who qualify. I also send a Superbill at the end of each month that you can submit to your insurance carrier for reimbursement.
Living with ADHD doesn’t mean lowering your expectations—it means learning how to work with your brain instead of constantly fighting against it.
If you’re ready to build practical skills, strengthen executive functioning, and create lasting change, I’d love to help.
