What Are Executive Function Skills?

Executive function skills are the mental processes that enable us to plan, focus our attention, remember, and juggle multiple tasks.

Oftentimes people with ADHD or other neurodiversities experience challenges with their executive function skills. This can lead to struggles at school, work and home. We can even see links between weak executive functioning and mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, as people try to understand why seemingly "simple tasks” are harder for them than for others.

This is where coaching comes in to make all the difference!

Where Coaching Fits In

Working with a coach helps people better navigate their lives and achieve their goals. I specialize in working with college-aged to neurodivergent adults seeking to find ways to improve their executive function skills.

As an executive function coach I work with clients in 1:1 sessions to:

  • Identify their executive strengths and weaknesses 

  • Create custom goals and strategies to help with organization, planning, and time management

  • Teach skills to help clients manage their time, stay focused, and work efficiently 

  • Improve their daily organizational habits and routines

  • Understand how to prioritize their goals, initiate tasks, and turn procrastination into action 

  • Develop stress management techniques for managing emotional regulation

Testimonials

  • "As a therapist who specializes in working with young adults, I see so many clients struggle with their executive functioning skills. Working with a coach as an adjunct to therapy is a valuable tool in helping clients achieve their personal growth goals. Emily is incredibly skilled in her field and someone I refer to when clients need support building their executive skill set."
