Executive Functions Coaching
Through the AWARENESS of what our Executive Functions are, and UNDERSTANDING of who we are and want to be, we find the RESPONSIBILITY to plan & prioritize our time in order to create the ACTION necessary to make it happen.
AWARENESS
We learn the ins and outs of how our executive functions operate
Take a deep dive into how our emotions work
And, if ADHD is present, we also learn deeply about what that is and how it shows up individually.
UNDERSTANDING
Knowing where you are going means knowing where you are at. We assess everything from each executive functioning skill all the way to values and preferences because they all matter in developing healthy executive functioning.
We work to develop a vision of the self in the future- something exciting that feels good working toward.
RESPONSIBILITY
Knowing where you are at and knowing where you want to go creates a path in which to travel that’s worth traveling. From this space, we identify all the goals, priorities, and actionable steps that are necessary to get there.
We create, utilize, and adapt an individual organizational/agenda system to fine tune a system that actually supports all the struggles executive dysfunction/adhd can bring.
We learn to articulate ourselves in all the difficult ways life presents. Email the teacher, say how we feel, say I’m sorry, etc…
ACTION
Where the rubber hits the road! With well thought out plans in place, we walk them through while reflecting on what’s working, adjusting what’s not, and celebrating what is.

Assurances and Expectations
Teen Coaching is a collaborative effort between the Coach, Client, and Parent. All parties are expected to collaborate, communicate goals, concerns and successes, and problem solve together as they arise. Coaching packages are considered non-refundable, but, for any reason, if you would like to terminate coaching services before ending a package, the parent is to communicate the concern and AURA will work toward solutions that benefit all parties. This may include transferring coaching to other offered services such as 504 or Special Education Advocacy or Parent Coaching. By purchasing a coaching package, you acknowledge receipt and understanding of all assurances and expectations.
Confidentiality Statement
Confidentiality is an important element of the coaching process. Your identity and ongoing work will be kept strictly confidential. I will only release information about our work with your written permission and for specific and agreed-upon reasons such as collaboration with therapists and school personnel, or if I am required by court order. The following exceptions will apply:
1. There are a broad range of events that are reportable under child protection statutes. Physical or sexual abuse of a child will be reported to Child Protective Services. When the victim of child abuse is over age 18, I am not legally mandated to report it unless I believe that there are minors still living with the abuser who may be in danger of being abused. Elder abuse is also required to be reported to the appropriate authorities.
2. If the client demonstrates an imminent risk to themself or someone else or make threats of imminent violence against another person, I will take appropriate action.
