If tutors, therapists, and residential programs haven't held, that doesn't mean you've failed your kid. Level-Up Life is professionally supervised coaching that works the actual problem your kid is having, not the textbook version of it.
Level-Up Life is research-informed, professionally supervised coaching for students with ADHD and executive functioning challenges, built for parents who've tried everything.
Coaching looks at what's actually happening in your kid's day, reduces shame around it, then teaches skills until they become habits.
Parent coaching gives you the language and strategy to support the work at home.
Nationwide remote, with in-person coaching in Provo, Utah. No contracts, ever.
For a while now, you've been stuck choosing between being the parent who holds your kid accountable and the one your kid actually trusts. You've tried tutors and a weekly therapist, maybe even a wilderness program or residential treatment. Some of it helped for a season. None of it held.
That isn't a failure of effort, and it isn't on you. Most of those programs worked the surface without ever looking at what was really happening in your kid's day, which is exactly why the gains slipped the moment the structure went away.
Executive functioning is the set of mental skills your kid leans on to start a task, stay with it, manage frustration, and keep track of what's due. When those skills are underdeveloped (which is the norm for students with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and autism), willpower isn't the missing piece. The skills are.
Executive functioning coaching builds those skills the way you build any skill. We watch for where things break down, troubleshoot the specific point of resistance, and teach a new approach until it becomes a habit. Every coaching relationship is supervised by Ryan Roberts, our CMHC and Clinical Director, so coaches do the direct work while Ryan and the directors consult behind the scenes.
This isn't therapy, and it isn't tutoring. If your kid needs a clinical mental health assessment, we'll refer you to our sister practice, Komi Counseling and Psychology. What coaching does is help everything else hold.
Most parents come in looking for help for their kid, and then realize they could use some help with their own role, too, now that the old parenting playbook has stopped working. Parent coaching gives you the psychoeducation, the communication strategies, and the practical language to reinforce the coaching at home. Most families pull these hours from their child's existing package, though standalone parent coaching is available if you'd rather. Either way, you're part of the plan, not just the one paying for it.
Ryan holds a Clinical Mental Health Counselor license and keeps an active research profile in ADHD, executive functioning, and academic accommodations. He co-directs a research lab and teaches research methods at the university level. That kind of oversight sitting behind a coaching program is genuinely rare.
Before we hand your kid a single strategy, we take the time to see what's really happening in their daily life. Not the intake form, not what the last program concluded, but the real Tuesday afternoon.
Most programs lock families in for a term. We'd rather earn the next month by showing you progress, and we'll tell you honestly on that first call if we're not the right fit.
Students who follow their coaching plan meet 60% of their weekly goals with 97% plan adherence, and student and parent satisfaction sits at 86% or higher. More than 95% of the educational consultants who refer families to us tell us they wish they'd known about Level-Up Life sooner.
The numbers matter, but what parents talk about is what shifted at home. They stopped bracing for every check-in. They started asking about school out of genuine curiosity instead of dread. And, finally, they put their own needs back on the list.
Most families start with executive functioning coaching, our flagship program. It's built for students ages 9 and up, from elementary, middle school, and high school through college, just out of high school, or in early adulthood who are struggling with the whole picture at once: academics, emotional regulation, time management, daily living, and family dynamics. That's typically two sessions a week over about six months.
If your kid has an ADHD diagnosis and that framing simply fits better, ADHD coaching is a good place to start. The work itself is closely related; the entry point is just different.
If your family is coming home from a residential treatment center or a wilderness program, treatment transition coaching is built for that exact window, when the external structure drops away and every independent-living domain has to be rebuilt at the same time.
And if daily habits around food, sleep, or movement are part of what's getting in the way, we may add health and wellness coaching, led by Lindsey Roberts, who holds an M.S. in Nutrition and Functional Medicine.
Not sure which one fits? A free consultation will walk you through it.
01
This is a 15 to 30 minute phone call with Ryan or a program director. You talk through what's happening at home, and you leave with an honest read on whether we're a fit.
02
Next comes a deeper conversation covering academics, health, and mental health, along with an assessment of which executive functioning areas your student is struggling with. From there, we match a best-fit coach within two to three days.
03
Most students start with two sessions a week. The coach works the resistance points we surfaced during assessment while Ryan and the directors stay involved behind the scenes.
04
We track progress week to week, and setbacks get analyzed rather than penalized. The cycle keeps going until your student can run the troubleshooting process on their own, because that's the whole point.
Pricing is public because being transparent is part of how we earn your trust. Executive functioning and ADHD coaching run $150 per hour, and families who commit to a starter block get a 10% package discount. Treatment transition coaching is $250 per hour, which reflects the higher frequency and the deeper clinical involvement that window calls for. Parent coaching is usually drawn from your child's hours.
We can't bill insurance, and the reason is simple: insurance companies haven't deemed coaching "medically necessary." That said, some HSA and FSA administrators do reimburse when ADHD Coaching is billed as the service line. Confirming whether your plan qualifies is the family's responsibility, and while we don't provide insurance documentation, our admin team is happy to share what's worked for other families.
Most families draw parent-coaching hours from their student's existing package so the two stay coordinated. Your parent sessions give you psychoeducation, communication strategy, and practical guidance for reinforcing the coaching at home, usually two to four times a month.
No. We work with students whose executive functioning is getting in the way of daily life, with or without a formal diagnosis. Many have ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, or some combination. A diagnosis helps us understand the terrain, but it isn't a prerequisite.
Yes, and most families do. Level-Up Life is a nationwide program, with in-person sessions available at our Provo, Utah office for families in the area. You're also welcome to mix the two.
A typical engagement runs about six months at two sessions a week. Some students stay with us longer and some wrap up sooner. Because there are no contracts, families stay as long as the work is helping and leave when their student can run the process on their own.
Insurance companies haven't deemed coaching "medically necessary," so we can't bill insurance. Some HSA and FSA administrators will reimburse when ADHD Coaching is billed as the service line. Verifying coverage is the family's responsibility, and we don't provide documentation.
Then our treatment transition coaching program is built for exactly where you are. The window right after discharge is when most progress tends to unravel, because the external structure suddenly disappears. We work every independent-living domain in parallel so the gains actually hold.
A first conversation is just that, a conversation. There's no contract to sign and no pressure, just an honest read on where to start.
