What a coaching day looks like in Oakland
Everything is live with your coach on Zoom, except Transition Support, which is by text. Hours are 8am to 5pm Eastern, Monday to Friday (5am to 2pm in Oakland).
Jump Start, every morning
A 30-minute call to plan the day. You and your coach pick the first task and break it down until it is easy to begin.
Transition Support, through the day
Your coach checks in on you by WhatsApp or SMS. Before each commitment, a text with what you need to know. Then a check-in to make sure you made the switch. You never have to remember to open an app.
Bonus Time, when you're stuck
A 15-minute call, on demand. Up to 2 a day. Help at the moment you get stuck, not next week.
Retro, late afternoon
A 15-minute call to go over what worked and adjust your strategy for tomorrow.
That is up to 75 minutes of live coach time a day, with the same person all week. A Full Support coach works with no more than 5 clients, so they know your days and what tends to go wrong in them. See a full day with an ADHD coach.
How it works in Oakland
ADHD gets in the way during your workday, not in a waiting room, so your coach is in your day: on your screen at 9, on your phone before your 11 o'clock, on a call at 3 when the report won't start. Our coaching hours are 8am to 5pm Eastern, which is 5am to 2pm Pacific in Oakland. Whether you work from home or on site in Oakland, nothing about your day has to change.
Who this is for
Probably yes, if you usually know what to do but starting is hard; your plan falls apart at the first interruption; you do better when someone knows what you said you'd do; or a weekly session helps but the other six days are the problem.
Probably not, if you need diagnosis or medication; you need therapy or crisis support; you want someone to do the work for you; or you only need a place to store tasks.
Coaching, not therapy
This is coaching. It helps you plan, start, switch tasks and follow through. We don't diagnose ADHD, prescribe medicine or provide therapy. If you need a diagnosis or a prescriber, a doctor or psychologist in Oakland can help, and coaching works alongside that care. Read how an ADHD coach, a therapist and apps fit together.
What it costs
Full Support is $750 a month: the same coach every workday, Jump Start, reminders, Bonus Time and Retro, up to 75 minutes of live coach time a day. No contract. Cancel anytime. If it isn't worth it to you, ask for a full refund within your first 7 days. Want something lighter? Focus Lite is $200 a month: one planning call a week, plus daily reminders.
