ADHD coaching at Level-Up Life is a professionally supervised, research-informed program that builds the executive functioning skills ADHD disrupts. It works alongside your child's prescribing provider, never in place of one. The diagnosis gave the struggle a name, but the name didn't fix the part where they still can't start.

ADHD coaching builds the executive functioning skills ADHD disrupts: task initiation, sustained attention, working memory, planning, and emotional regulation.
Every engagement is supervised by Ryan Roberts, CMHC, and works alongside your child's prescribing provider, never in place of one.
No ADHD diagnosis and no medication is required to start, and a student's resistance to coaching is normal.
A typical engagement is two sessions a week for about six months, remote nationwide and in-person in Provo, Utah.
This is for the parent whose son or daughter is somewhere in late high school through early adulthood, right as the external structure that used to hold things together falls away and self-management becomes the skill that matters most. It's the student who is clearly bright and full of plans, but somehow keeps landing on the wrong side of every deadline. It's usually the right fit when:
Your son or daughter has been told to "just try harder" by people who don't see how hard they're already trying.
They can explain the system perfectly well; they just can't get themselves to use it at 4pm on a Tuesday, and the planners, apps, and timers each worked for about a week.
Medication helps them focus, but it doesn't tell them what to focus on, in what order, or for how long.
The household has quietly organized itself around missed deadlines, and homework has become the thing everyone braces for.
If your student is resistant to the idea right now, that's usually workable. A lot of the families we see came to us after a previous coach didn't stick. When most of that lands, the issue is rarely effort or intelligence. It's the executive functioning machinery that ADHD tends to disrupt first.
ADHD coaching is structured, week-to-week skill-building for the patterns ADHD creates: starting tasks, staying with them, switching between them, remembering what you were doing, and managing the frustration that flares up mid-task. It runs on the same professionally supervised program as our executive functioning coaching — the same work, just entered through the diagnosis instead of the skills.
Every case is supervised by Ryan Roberts, CMHC and Clinical Director, and we coordinate with your child's prescriber whenever the work calls for it.
Most students work two sessions a week, 60 minutes each, for about six months. Some wrap up in three or four months and some stay longer, and there's never a contract holding anyone in place. Sessions are remote by default, with in-person available in the Provo, Utah area.
Every student moves through the same four steps, and the cycle starts over on the next problem.
01
We look at what a real Tuesday afternoon actually looks like when nobody's watching, not the tidy version on an intake form. We gather the data and take the shame out of it.
02
Data shows you where to look, not what to do about it. We read the patterns, find where the resistance sits, and form theories we can actually test. Most plans skip this step and jump straight to generic strategies, which is exactly why they fall apart by week three.
03
We work the specific problem in front of us, trying approaches and pulling in the clinical team when a case calls for it. The goal is a solution built for this one student, not a worksheet.
04
Skills get practiced in session, assigned between sessions, and reviewed at the next one. Setbacks get analyzed, never penalized. We run the loop until the skill becomes a habit, and then until your son or daughter can run the process on their own. For more on the underlying skills the program targets, see What Is Executive Functioning?.
Here's roughly the order in which students and parents tell us things shift:
Task initiation gets easier first: sitting down to start stops feeling like the entire battle. Session prep gets simpler too, because your son or daughter shows up with the week already mapped instead of rebuilding it on the call, and the frustration spike that used to derail a hard task starts to lose its grip.
The strategies stop being something we hand over and become something the student reaches for on their own, and parents usually feel the household tone change before the grades move, with fewer fights about homework.
The troubleshooting itself moves from the coach to the student, until your son or daughter can run the process on their own.
ADHD coaching shares a coach pool, a methodology, and clinical supervision with our other programs. The only real difference is where you enter.
Executive functioning coaching is the same work, entered through the skills rather than the diagnosis. Same coach pool, same method, same pricing.
Parent coaching gives you the language for your side of the dynamic. It can be drawn from your child's package or run on its own.
If your son or daughter is coming in fresh from a residential discharge, treatment transition coaching covers the whole of independent living over a 12 to 18 month engagement. That's the better starting point when the discharge is the more pressing variable.
ADHD coaching is $150 per hour, billed 24 hours after each session. The Starter Package brings the per-hour rate down:
Sessions in your home are $250 per hour to cover travel, while remote and public-location sessions stay at the $150 rate. When two or more siblings enroll at the same time, each one pays $125 per hour.
Insurance companies haven't deemed coaching medically necessary, so we can't bill insurance for it. Some HSA and FSA plans will reimburse when ADHD Coaching is the billed service line, but confirming that is the family's responsibility, since we're not clinicians and don't provide insurance documentation. Our transparent pricing page lays out every rate, so you can see exactly where you'd land before you ever book a call.
Remote / In-Person
In-person at our Provo office or a public spot like a nearby library or university is $150 per hour, the same as remote.
In-Person
In-person at the client's home is $250 per hour; the higher rate simply covers the coach's travel.
Starter Package
$3,240 at $135 per hour (10% off)

Hi! I’m Jessie Williams, and I graduated from Weber State University with a degree in Elementary Education. I’ve spent the past 5+ years teaching in both public and Title I schools! Helping students learn and grow is something I truly love.
My coaching style is student-led and teacher-supported. I’m passionate about helping students build confidence, independence, and the executive functioning skills they need to succeed both in and outside of school. I believe mindset is everything, and I love encouraging students to trust themselves, work through challenges, and recognize their own potential.
Outside of coaching, I’m a wife and mom to one sweet little girl, plus a very lovable (and very big!) golden retriever. I love traveling, making memories with my family, and finding joy in the little things!
Yes. Research-informed coaching builds the executive functioning skills ADHD disrupts most directly: task initiation, sustained attention, working memory, planning, and emotional regulation. It's what turns medicated focus into completed work and habits that hold.
They often work together, but they aren't the same thing. Medication management comes from a prescribing provider and therapy from a licensed therapist (we refer to Komi Counseling and Psychology). ADHD coaching is skill-building for how a student starts tasks and follows through. Level-Up Life does not prescribe, manage medication, diagnose, or provide therapy.
No. Many students have a formal diagnosis and many don't. Coaching works on the executive functioning patterns either way, focusing on what's actually happening day to day rather than on labels. We don't diagnose ADHD ourselves, but if you want an evaluation, we can talk through how to find one.
No. Some students take ADHD medication and some don't, and coaching works either way. We don't prescribe, manage, or recommend medications. If your child has a prescriber, we'll coordinate whenever it helps.
Same program, different entry point. ADHD coaching starts from the diagnosis; executive functioning coaching starts from the skills themselves. The coach pool, method, supervision, and pricing are identical.
Late teens through early twenties tends to be the hardest stretch: the external structure drops away and self-management suddenly becomes the skill everything depends on. That's exactly the window Level-Up Life is built for.
The 5 C's commonly cited in ADHD literature are Self-Control, Concentration, Consistency, Consequences, and Creativity, the executive functioning domains ADHD most affects (Creativity is often a strength). Coaching at Level-Up Life works directly on the first four.
A first conversation is exactly that, a conversation. You'll come away with an honest read on whether ADHD coaching is the right fit for your son or daughter, and a clear sense of where to start.
