If you have trouble handling frustration, starting and finishing tasks, staying on track, or balancing priorities, we can help.

The Thriving Wellness Center Executive Functioning Coaching & Therapy program helps you achieve your goals by strengthening your executive functioning. Executive functions can be understood as the brain’s management system. When a person has weak executive functions and/or ADHD  they may have trouble starting and finishing tasks, handling frustrations, organizing, staying on track, and prioritizing tasks (like home and work-life balance).

We understand that ADHD and/or weak executive functioning isn't just about time management, organization, and planning. It affects all areas of your life including your emotional and mental well-being. That is why our integrated program focuses on helping you with your ADHD symptoms and your mental health.
