You know you're smart, and somehow that makes the whole thing worse, because if you're so smart, why can't you just do the thing? This is coaching that starts with no shame and no lecture, just the actual data of your week instead of another list of tips you've already tried.
Executive functioning coaching builds the skills that turn intention into a finished thing, the skills ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, and learning differences hit first.
We start with data about your real week, not a generic strategy. No shame, no lecture.
Every coaching relationship is supervised by Ryan Roberts, CMHC, the Clinical Director.
Students following their coaching plan meet 60% of weekly goals at 97% adherence; student and parent satisfaction runs 86%+.
You sit down to do the thing you actually wanted to do, and 40 minutes later you're somewhere else on the internet with no memory of how you got there. The assignment that should take an hour ends up taking a week, and most of that week is spent not doing it and feeling bad about not doing it.
You can describe, in detail, the version of yourself who has it together. You see the gap between that person and where you are every single day, and the harder you look, the more permanent it starts to feel, like it's a fact about you rather than a problem you can solve. You've probably been through a program or two already: a tutor, a coach, maybe medication, maybe a residential or wilderness program. Some of it helped. None of it stuck the way that first conversation made you believe it would.
So here's what nobody seems to want to look at: the actual texture of your Tuesday afternoon. That's where the gap really lives, and that's where this work starts.
Executive functioning is the set of skills that turn an intention into a finished thing: starting a task, staying with it, keeping track of what's due Friday, managing the frustration that hits halfway through. ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, and learning differences all tend to hit these skills first, and when they're underdeveloped, the skills themselves are the problem, not your willpower.
Executive functioning coaching at Level-Up Life builds those skills the same way you'd build any other. We find where things break down, troubleshoot the specific resistance point, and teach the new approach until it becomes a habit. Two sessions a week is typical, mostly remote, and scheduled around your classes, work, and sleep.
This isn't therapy. If you need clinical mental health support, your coach will point you to Komi Counseling and Psychology, a separate clinical practice in the same building, or to a provider in your area. It isn't tutoring either; we work on the system that decides whether the chemistry assignment ever gets started. And it runs alongside your prescriber and your campus disability office, never in place of them.
If ADHD is the lens that makes the most sense to you, ADHD coaching is the same work with a diagnosis-frame entry point. And if you're stepping back into life after a residential, wilderness, or treatment program, treatment transition coaching is built for exactly that window. If you want the longer read first, start with What Is Executive Functioning?
We start with data, not assumptions. Most programs run a script: the same task list everyone gets, paired with a generic strategy. We start instead with the actual map of your week, looking at where the breakdowns happen and what you were doing right before the task you never started. The strategy only comes after we have the map.
No shame, no lecture. You've already done the shame part on your own, probably for years, so we're not about to add to it. Around here, setbacks are information, not character flaws.
Every coach is professionally supervised. Ryan Roberts, a Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CMHC), is the Clinical Director behind every coaching relationship, and the executive functioning program is led by a program director with a research-active background in learning and developmental psychology. Your coach does the direct work with you, while Ryan and the program directors stay in constant consultation behind the scenes. That much oversight behind a coaching program is genuinely rare.
No contracts, ever. You stay because the work is actually helping, and you leave when you're running the troubleshooting process on your own. Most students start with a single session and go from there.
The thing students tell us most often is that the gap finally stopped feeling permanent. It's not gone, but it's smaller, it's shrinking, and for the first time it's something they understand. They start showing up to the class they used to skip and sending the email they used to avoid. The version of themselves they've been describing for years starts to feel reachable instead of mythical.
This is a 15 to 30 minute phone call with Ryan or a program director. You talk through what's going on, what you've already tried, and what you want to be different, and you leave with an honest read on whether we're a fit. No sales pressure.
Intake goes deeper into academics, health and wellness, and mental health, plus a needs assessment of which executive functioning areas are getting in your way. We match you with a coach within 2 to 3 business days.
Two sessions a week, scheduled around your life. Your coach works the specific resistance points the assessment surfaced, with Ryan and the directors consulting behind the scenes.
We track your progress week to week and analyze setbacks rather than penalize them. The cycle repeats until the skill becomes a habit, and then until you can run the troubleshooting on your own.
Coaching is $150 per hour remote, with a package discount of up to 10% for students and families who commit to a starter block. In-person sessions are available on a limited basis at our Provo office for Utah-area students. Full pricing lives on the transparent pricing page.If a consultation feels like too much for a first step, our free monthly workshops are a lower-pressure way in. There are about five a month, with no contract and no follow-up funnel, just real content on ADHD, executive functioning, and academics.
No. Coaching addresses executive functioning challenges regardless of diagnosis. Anxiety, depression, autism, a learning difference, or no formal diagnosis at all, none of those disqualify you. We start with an assessment of your week, not a label.
Most programs skip the step where you figure out what's actually driving the problem and jump straight to a strategy. We start right there, with data instead of assumptions. And if we're not the right fit, we'll tell you so on the consultation call.
Sessions are remote and scheduled around your class and work schedule, not around an office calendar. Most college students do two a week, often in the late afternoon or evening. Your coach knows the rhythms of college life, including midterm weeks, finals, and the gap between semesters.
Remote is the default, and it's delivered that way nationwide. We also offer in-person sessions on a limited basis at our Provo, Utah office for students in the area. The coaching works the same way wherever you are.
Most students notice shifts within the first month in specific areas, like a morning that goes better or an assignment started without the usual three-hour build-up. Habit change that holds up under stress usually takes three to six months. Some students wrap up in four months, and some stay on for over a year.
No. Coaching is not therapy, and we're careful about that distinction. Ryan's Clinical Mental Health Counselor license is what makes the supervision behind every coaching relationship possible, but the coaching itself is skill-building, not clinical care. If you need therapy, Komi Counseling and Psychology, a separate clinical practice in the same building, handles that work. Coaching runs alongside therapy; it doesn't replace it.
Yes, and most students on medication do exactly that. We don't prescribe, manage, or recommend changes to your medication; that belongs entirely to your prescribing provider. Coaching builds the executive functioning skills that medication alone doesn't teach, and your coach will coordinate with your prescriber if you'd like.
A first conversation is just that, a conversation. There's no contract to sign and no pressure. You'll come away knowing whether this is a fit, and what to do next either way.
