Coaching

Who is Coaching for?

Coaching may be a good fit when you're generally managing day-to-day life but keep getting stuck in certain areas.

You may benefit from coaching if you:

• Know what you need to do but struggle to follow through

• Have trouble with planning, organization or time management

• Feel overwhelmed by responsibilities or schedules

• Want to build routines that actually work

• Struggle with procrastination or getting started

• Have ADHD or executive-function challenges

• Are preparing for junior high, high school, college or another major transition

• Want help managing everyday stress

• Need accountability while working toward a goal

• Want to improve communication, confidence or decision-making

• Are a parent who wants practical strategies for home

You don't have to wait until life feels unmanageable.

Sometimes the right tools and a little support can make a big difference.

What can we work on? 

ADHD & Executive Function Coaching

For teens ages 14+, college students and adults who want practical help managing ADHD and executive-function challenges.

We may work on:

• Planning and prioritizing

• Time management and time awareness

• Procrastination

• Starting and finishing tasks

• Managing distractions

• Organization

• School or workplace systems

Student & Transition Coaching

New stages of life often come with new responsibilities.

Coaching can help teens and young adults prepare for:

• Junior high or high school

• College

• Increased independence

• Managing assignments and deadlines

• Balancing school, work, sports and activities

• First jobs

• Career decisions

• Changes in routines

• Moving toward greater independence

The goal is not just getting through this semester.

It's building skills that can keep working long after coaching ends.

Stress, Habits & Wellness Coaching

You don't need a mental health diagnosis to want life to work better.

Coaching may help you:

• Manage everyday stress

• Build healthier routines

• Improve work-life balance

• Set better boundaries

• Develop more consistent habits

• Work toward personal goals

• Improve motivation

• Build confidence

• Strengthen communication

• Make decisions and follow through

We'll focus less on perfection and more on making progress you can actually maintain.

Parent Strategy Coaching

Sometimes your child isn't the person who needs an appointment.

Sometimes you need new ideas.

Parent Strategy Coaching gives parents and caregivers a place to work through everyday challenges and develop practical approaches to use at home.

We may work on:

• Morning and bedtime routines

• Homework and school organization

• Building independence

• ADHD-friendly home systems

• Responsibilities and expectations

• Screen-time routines

• Communication

• Preparing for school transitions

• Helping children learn organization and planning skills

Parent coaching may be available even when your child is too young for our individual coaching services.

Your child does not have to attend the session for you to benefit from coaching.

Coaching or Counseling?

The same concern can sometimes be addressed in either coaching or counseling.

The difference is usually what kind of help you need.

Coaching may be a good fit when:

• You are generally functioning well

• You want practical strategies or new skills

• You have a specific goal

• You want help creating routines or systems

• You need accountability and follow-through

• You want support navigating an everyday transition

Counseling may be a better fit when:

• Anxiety, depression or other symptoms are significantly affecting daily life

• You want help healing from trauma or painful past experiences

• Emotional distress feels difficult to manage

• Relationship problems require deeper clinical support

• Substance use or other mental health concerns are becoming serious

• You have thoughts of harming yourself or someone else

• You need mental health assessment or treatment

What Happens in a Coaching Session?

Coaching is active, practical and goal-focused.

1. Identify what isn't working

Where are you getting stuck? What have you already tried?

2. Decide what you want to change

We'll turn a broad problem into clear, realistic goals.

3. Build a strategy

We'll choose practical steps you can try between sessions.

4. Try it in real life

The goal isn't to make a perfect plan during your appointment. It's to find something that works when you leave the office.

5. Review and adjust

At your next session, we'll look at what worked, what didn't and what needs to change.

No lectures. No shame.

Just problem-solving, practice and progress.

Who Provides Coaching?

Coaching may be provided by Megan Garcia or participating ACCS Associate clinicians depending on your goals, age, scheduling needs and provider availability.

Different coaches may focus on different areas.

Our team will help match you with the provider whose experience best fits what you want to work on.

Coaching Is Different From Psychotherapy

Coaching focuses on goals, skills, strategies and everyday functioning.

It is not designed to diagnose or treat mental health disorders and is not a substitute for psychotherapy when clinical treatment is needed.

If concerns come up during coaching that suggest counseling or another level of care would be more appropriate, we'll talk with you about your options.

One benefit of choosing coaching through ACCS is that you're already connected with a mental health practice if your needs change.

Insurance & Payment

Coaching is a private-pay service and is not billed to health insurance.

Clients who wish to use HSA or FSA funds should confirm eligibility directly with their plan.

You Don't Have to Be “Struggling Enough” to Get Support

Maybe nothing is terribly wrong.

You're just tired of feeling scattered.

You want school to feel less overwhelming.

You want your mornings to run better.

You want to stop putting everything off until the last minute.

You want to make a change and actually stick with it.

That's a perfectly good reason to ask for help.

Let's figure out what would make life work better.
