What is the cost for services?
We charge $85 per hour, regardless of the type of coaching service provided. This includes online sessions, telephone consultations, electronic review of students’ work, or a requested consultation with the students’ parents or teachers. The hourly rate is then prorated and adjusted for sessions that are longer than 60 minutes.
How does payment work?
All charges and payments are through our secure online billing and scheduling system. Parents need to keep a credit or debit card on file, and payment in full is required before or at the time of service. We accept Mastercard, Visa, Discover, and American Express. Families can cancel services at any time.
How often do you recommend students meet with coaches?
We typically recommend two sessions per week so that the coach and the student have the opportunity to review a greater amount of work or reinforce skills together. However, this is an individual decision.
How are coaches assigned?
We work with several coaches who have different scheduling availability, areas of expertise, and interpersonal styles. All of our coaches have graduate level training in clinical psychology, and expertise in working with children and teens with ADHD.
What if we don’t like or “click” with the coach?
Let us know right after the first session and we’ll fix it! We will reassign you to a different coach if needed, and will provide your next session with your new coach at no charge. Or, we will refund your first session costs if you choose not to work with us. We want parents and students to be fully satisfied with their experiences. Families are always encouraged to reach out to our director if there is ever a problem.
Will you coordinate coaching with my student’s school?
Yes! With your permission, we are happy to contact the school to learn more about the student’s challenges. We can coordinate our support and work together. With your assistance, we can even access the student’s school assignment/grade portal to monitor performance. We also can reach out to therapists or other members of treatment teams.
Will I be kept informed about my student’s progress if I’d like?
Yes! Be sure to speak with your coach to communicate your preferences for the frequency and amount of communication that would be ideal.
It sounds like your coaches address students’ emotional well-being. Is this the same as therapy?
As part of our services, we help students address challenges with worry and attention to promote their achievement and adjustment at school. Our coaches are highly supportive and encouraging. In addition to executive functioning skills, they teach coping skills and relaxation skills in their work. However, our coaches function as educational supports, not as psychotherapists.
Are your services covered by insurance?
