ADHD Coaching (Prevatt model)

One-on-one coaching, grounded in CBT, that turns big intentions into small tracked steps. The weekly check-in itself takes only five to ten minutes; the structure does the rest.

Step 1

Intake

Gather the full picture, your history and your executive-function profile, so the plan is built around the real you, not a generic template.

Step 2

Define the critical issues

Name the life issues actually worth tackling, then choose two or three to work on: time management, a long project, passing a specific class, even learning to do laundry.

Step 3

Set objectives

Turn each issue into a concrete behavior-change objective, something you can see yourself doing and know when you've hit.

Step 4

Plan the week

Break each objective into intermediate steps and brainstorm the obstacles before they arrive, with rewards and consequences built in so motivation isn't left to willpower.

Step 5

Implement & evaluate

Homework carries the work forward between sessions. Then you propose options, put a solution into practice, and evaluate the outcome, adjusting the plan from what actually happened.
