ADHD Coaching
Children, Families, and Adults with ADD/ADHD and other neurodiversity traits
As an ADDCA-trained ADHD Coach (and also an experienced ABMNM® practitioner), I help people with a wide range of neurodiversity needs and other non-standard situations to utilize unique strengths and become highly functional with greater clarity, resilience, and passion.
Many of my clients (children and adults) come with various neurodiversity or development traits (diagnosed or undiagnosed/unidentified, e.g., sensory sensitivities, ADD/ADHD, Autism, etc.). They want to help their unique qualities work for them rather than against them.
Children & Families with Neurodiversity traits
Whether you or your child have been diagnosed with ADHD or recognize some unique traits, your personal development and family interaction dynamics may differ from a neuro-typical family.
As a coach, I help you and your child build skills and support systems that work with your brain’s unique ways, aligning with your values, passions, goals, and strengths. It’s a process that’s very individual. I serve as a professional partner in your journey to self-discovery and transformation.
Together, we will identify how your brain works, learn and build on your unique capabilities. Our focus is on awareness, growth, and development.
In the past, the ongoing impact on the person’s life or that of his/her family was not understood. Even when a person has not been diagnosed or seemingly “outgrew” their AD(H)D, the “generational impact” of ADHD on personal and family life has not been clear until recently. ADHD traits are also highly inheritable but may come in various forms and intensities. So it’s very likely that many impacted families struggle and miss opportunities to build on the unique capabilities of their children and their own.
As a coach, I help parents discover and implement their unique processes and tools for taking care of themselves and their families.
Combining cognitive/verbal ADHD Coaching with movement-based Anat Baniel Method® NeuroMovement® practice
Regardless of the specifics of the ADHD that you or your child may exhibit (there are many!), some common traits include difficulty in self-awareness, having a sense of “whole self” in space, and emotional regulation.
One of the critical skills that are particularly important for ADHDers is the ability to pause, slow down, connect & act while engaging the whole self. We recommend anyone impacted by ADHD (or any neuro-diversity traits) practice Anat Baniel Method® NeuroMovement®.
We recommend that all our clients, especially young children, start with the in-person ABMNM® program. You will get the best of both worlds (somatic/mind-body improvements & cognitive/verbal coaching).

Adults with AD(H)D or similar traits
If you have lived with some form of ADHD, whether diagnosed or suspected, you probably already know that you are unique in many ways. You may find it possible to feel extremely capable, passionate, and driven at one moment and then stuck at another. You may struggle with seemingly simple things and succeed in what others may find very complex. You may feel confused, blame yourself, feel inadequate, and have lower confidence.
You possibly have developed patterns to compensate for limitations, but you think something is stopping you from utilizing your true abilities. It may affect your career, business, family life, passions, energy, and general well-being.
As a coach, I will help you find ways to build on your uniqueness, get unstuck, and unleash your full potential. I’ll be there for you as a professional thinking partner who will guide you through your journey of self-realization, helping you make your unique ADHD traits work for you rather than against you.
"Mark is a kind and patient practitioner who works with my 10-year-old son with mild Autism and ADHD. He engages my son with attentive, good humor, and his calm, upbeat demeanor puts my son at ease, and they are able to connect and share a laugh. I notice that my son uses a lot more spontaneous language and comments on more things after his lessons with Mark."
"My son and I have been working with Olga and Mark for over a year now. My son's capabilities have accelerated steadily since working with Mark. His mood and energy levels are always high after each session. It has led him to develop much more confidence... We love Mark's and Olga's passion and dedication to their work! It makes a great deal of difference for our family."
"Mark is very patient and calm, and my son enjoys talking to him. We are happy he has had the chance to have these sessions as he transitioned to kindergarten this year."
Given the current events in Ukraine, we’d like to extend our best wishes for the safety and well-being of everyone who may be affected.
