Adult Executive Function Coaching (ADHD Support) in Greenwich, CT
If you look “fine” on the outside but you’re constantly behind on the inside, you’re not alone.
Diversified Education Services (DES) provides practical, structured coaching for adults and young adults who want better routines, stronger follow-through, and less day-to-day overwhelm.
Based in Greenwich, CT, we serve adults and young adults across Fairfield County and Westchester County—including Darien, New Canaan, Bedford, and Rye—offering both in-person and virtual coaching.
Our adult executive function coaching is tailored to help you achieve your personal and professional goals.
This is not therapy, and it’s not motivational fluff. We believe in a relationship-based approach, not in blind faith. This is skills-based coaching: planning, time management, organization, task initiation, accountability, and systems that actually hold—especially for ADHD brains. Our professional coaches are trained to tailor a plan to strengthen and improve your executive function skills.
We believe the struggle is usually executive dysfunction—masked as procrastination, inconsistency, or overwhelm.
Many adults we work with are highly intelligent and capable—what’s missing is a structure that matches how their brains work.
Two Coaching Tracks: Choose the Support That Fits Your Life
College-to-Career Executive Function Coaching
Smart, capable, and still stuck? We help young adults with ADHD and executive dysfunction build real-world routines—job search structure, time management, follow-through, and independence—by building practical systems that actually stick.
Executive Function Coaching for Busy Professionals
If you’re successful but constantly behind, we’ll build a personal operating system: prioritization, planning, task capture, and accountability—ideal for ADHD adults juggling career, family, and nonstop mental overload.
If you’re not sure which track fits, we’ll figure it out during the consultation. The goal is the same: less overwhelm, more control, and a system you can actually maintain.
College-to-Career Coaching (Young Adults)
This track is for young adults who are capable—but struggling to launch. When college structure disappears, executive function weaknesses show up fast:
procrastination, inconsistent routines, avoidance, messy time management, and a constant feeling of being behind.
Common Signs
- Job search feels overwhelming, or never starts
- Sleep schedule is chaotic; routines don’t stick
- Life admin piles up (appointments, bills, paperwork)
- Starts strong, then falls off—repeat cycle
- ADHD-related procrastination and avoidance
What We Build
- A weekly plan that’s realistic, not perfect
- Time-blocking and task initiation strategies
- Job search system: pipeline, tracker, weekly targets
- Digital organization: calendar, reminders, email hygiene
- Accountability that creates follow-through
Virtual Coaching Available for College-to-Career Clients
Not local or juggling a packed schedule? Virtual coaching gives you the same structure, accountability, and planning support—without the commute.
Many clients prefer remote sessions because consistency is easier to maintain week to week.
Executive Function Coaching for Busy Professionals
This track is for adults who are high-performing—but overloaded. You’re responsible, you care, and you’re carrying too much.
ADHD and executive dysfunction don’t always stop success—they quietly sabotage consistency, follow-through, and bandwidth.
Common Signs
- Chronic overwhelm and decision fatigue
- Inbox chaos and missed follow-ups
- Deadlines slip because everything feels urgent
- Too many meetings; tasks disappear afterward
- “I’ll catch up this weekend” never ends
What We Build
- A personal operating system for your week
- Prioritization that’s simple and repeatable
- Meeting-to-task capture so nothing drops
- Delegation and boundaries that protect time
- Accountability that prevents backsliding

- Working memory supports and reminders
Real-Life Outcomes

- Fewer missed deadlines and dropped tasks
- Better focus and less mental clutter
- Stronger accountability and momentum
- Improved confidence under pressure
How Coaching Works
Step 1 — Identify What’s Breaking (and Why)
We figure out what’s getting in the way: time blindness, overload, avoidance, lack of systems, poor prioritization,
or a routine that collapses the moment stress hits.
Step 2 — Build a System That Matches Your Brain
We keep it simple and realistic: a weekly planning rhythm, a task capture system, routines you can maintain, and tools that reduce decision fatigue.
Step 3 — Accountability + Adjustments
Progress comes from consistency, not intensity. We refine week by week until your system feels natural and durable.
Serving Greenwich, Fairfield County, and Westchester County—with virtual coaching available nationwide.
FAQs
What is adult executive function coaching?
Adult executive function coaching is structured, practical support to strengthen planning, organization, time management, task initiation, follow-through, and emotional regulation. It’s skills-based and action-focused—built around routines and systems that work in real life.
Is executive function coaching helpful for adults with ADHD?
Yes. Many adults with ADHD struggle less with intelligence and more with consistency—starting tasks, prioritizing, managing time, and following through. Coaching builds tools, routines, and accountability so progress isn’t dependent on motivation.

How is adult executive function coaching different from therapy?
Therapy often focuses on emotional processing and clinical treatment. Executive function coaching focuses on skills and execution: planning your week, organizing tasks, building routines, and creating systems that reduce overwhelm. Coaching can complement therapy, but it’s not a substitute for it.
What does executive dysfunction look like in adults?
Executive dysfunction often shows up as procrastination, chronic overwhelm, missed deadlines, poor time estimation, difficulty starting tasks, disorganization, decision fatigue, and feeling like you’re always behind—even when you care, and you’re trying.
Can coaching help with anxiety and overwhelm caused by ADHD?
Often, yes—because anxiety spikes when life feels unmanageable. Building structure, predictable routines, and a clear plan reduces overwhelm and improves confidence. If anxiety is severe, we recommend working alongside a licensed provider.
What do sessions actually look like?
Sessions are collaborative and practical. We review what worked, what didn’t, and why—then adjust your plan. You’ll leave with specific next steps: weekly priorities, a realistic schedule, and a simple system for tracking tasks and follow-through.
Do you offer virtual executive function coaching for adults?
Yes. We offer both in-person (where available) and virtual coaching. Many adult clients prefer virtual sessions because they’re efficient, consistent, and easy to fit around work and family schedules.
How long does it take to see results?
DES believes in a relationship-based approach, and building trust takes time. We don’t expect blind faith in our system, but when the connection is clicking, you can expect small victories over time. Just know our end-goal is for you not to need us anymore, but we are not rushing you out the door.
