Neurodiversity Coaching (ADHD)
At Berries and Juniper Wellness, we believe every client is creative, resourceful and whole as we discover, clarify and align with client's goals by encouraging and guiding clients to self-discovery.
Through the transformative power of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve performance, and enhance quality of life in the following areas and more:
Working memory
Task Initiation
Emotional Regulation
Time Blindness
Organization
Cognitive Flexibility
Planning and Prioritizing
Self-Monitoring
Through educating yourself about the many aspects of neurodiversity such as ADHD, you will know what it takes to move yourself in the direction of your dreams.
You can learn to operate your brain. Whether you have an ADHD diagnosis or not, we can partner through coaching to
build awareness and promote individual growth. Together, we write the user's manual for your brain. We explore what supports you to seize your agency, make better choices, focus your attention and actions, and live your best life.
At Berries and Juniper Wellness we offer ADHD coaching services provided by Sherry Power PhD, who is currently working towards being certified by the ADD Coaching Academy (ADDCA), whose training is accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the Professional Association of ADHD Coaches (PAAC).
DO COACHING CREDENTIALS REALLY MATTER?
yOU DECIDE
Credentials let you know that a coach has achieved a level of education, training and experience evaluated by a third-party.
They also tell you a coach has voluntarily chosen to embrace a code of ethics with service to the client at its core. You, the client, know there's someone you can contact should there ever be any questions or concerns about your client experience.
As of Spring 2026, there were fewer than 2,000 ADHD coaches of record around the globe who approach coaching with an understanding of ADHD's positive impact and potentially negative consequences. Of those 2,000, less than 200 held experience/ knowledge-based professional level certification through the Professional Association of ADHD Coaches (PAAC).
Even fewer held both a PAAC professional level credential and an experience & knowledge-based professional level credential from the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
Could that training, expertise, experience and commitment to maintaining an ethics-driven practice make a difference for you? Let's talk.
Professional ADHD Coaches undergo specialized training to work with individuals living with diagnosed or undiagnosed ADHD or other neurodevelopmental differences. I also work with individuals who have executive functions challenges.
This is a judgement-free zone. I listen, observe, and ask questions as your guide, navigator or translator.Together, we get to the which, what, how, where and when so you can move forward, becoming who you know yourself to be and want to be!
ADHD Coaching does not offer an overnight fix because you're not broken.
We partner and you practice.
Are you ready to transform your life?
Does ADHD Coaching Make a Difference? Let's look at the Research!
Research has been done for several years now on the efficacy of ADHD Coaching. Here are some of the peer-reviewed scholarly publications that are currently available:
Coaching for Adults With ADHD: A Prospective Study
Released online 3/27/2026
Ahmann E, Saviet M, Otto M. Coaching for Adults With ADHD: A Prospective Study. American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine. 2026;0(0). doi:10.1177/15598276261432960
Abstract
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) persists into adulthood for many and can also be newly diagnosed in adults. ADHD coaching is a form of support that can be used independently or integrated into a multimodal treatment approach. This report presents pre-post intervention findings from a single-arm mixed-methods study of a 12-session individual ADHD coaching engagement for adults. Coaches meeting defined criteria recruited clients through their private practices, screening for study eligibility. The coaching engagement followed a manualized approach, and coach-client working alliance was high.
