1:1 Coaching

Coaching for adults who want their work and life to fit their actual brain and support their nervous system.

For late‑diagnosed, ADHD‑ish, and ADHD‑adjacent adults navigating real workplaces, real responsibilities, and real fatigue with shallow advice.

What 1:1 Coaching Is (and Isn’t)

1:1 with me is a person‑before‑ADHD coaching process that combines reflective inquiry and critical thinking about ADHD narratives. We also celebrate what is working and design concrete ways to improve what is not working for you in work and daily life.

Not “fixing your executive function,” but understanding how stories, systems, and nervous systems actually shape your days.
Not generic productivity hacks, but experiments based on research yet tailored to your context, values, and capacity.
Not cheerleading or pathologizing, but a collaborative space where we can be honest, skeptical, and hopeful at the same time

Is This for You?

You’ll probably feel at home here if…

You’re an adult who has ADHD, suspects it, or recognizes yourself in ADHD‑ish patterns at work (initiation, follow‑through, emotional intensity, time blindness).

You’re tired of being reduced to symptoms and productivity metrics, and you want to think critically about ADHD without dismissing it.

You care about both personal change and structural realities: you want to adjust how you work, and you also see that “just try harder” is not a plan.

You like a mix of thoughtful conversation, concrete experiments, and gentle accountability—in small, realistic steps.

This is probably not a fit if…

You’re looking for a quick “system” or a guaranteed productivity makeover.

You want someone to tell you exactly what to do without reflection or collaboration.

You need crisis care, diagnosis, or medication management (those are clinical/medical services, not coaching).

How We Work Together

1. Map your lifeworld

We start by mapping your current realities—work, home, body, attention, history with ADHD—and the stories you’ve been told about what “should” be possible for you.

2. Decide what actually matters now

Together we identify 2–3 meaningful focus areas (for example: sustainable workload, communication at work, initiating non‑urgent projects, tending to your body) and translate them into specific, doable goals.

3. Design and test new patterns

Session by session, we co‑design experiments in your real context—scripts, boundaries, workflows, recovery practices—and review what happens, adjusting based on data, not self‑blame.

We move at the pace of your capacity, not at the pace of your inner critic or the latest ADHD trend.

What Sessions Are Like

In a typical session, you can expect:

Space to name what’s actually happening (internally and externally) without needing to perform as a “good ADHD client.”
Questions that help you see patterns in your lifeworld—how work culture, family history, and biomedical narratives are shaping your choices.
Collaborative problem‑solving around a live challenge (for example: a difficult email, a performance review, a weekly plan that doesn’t assume infinite energy).
One to three clear next steps that feel doable in the week ahead, plus ways to notice and honor your limits.

I expect life to be lifey—care work, health, launches, crises—so we build flexibility and repair into the coaching relationship.

Who I Am

I’m Tracy Lefebvre, PhD, PCC, a coach and scholar‑practitioner whose work sits at the intersection of ADHD, identity, and everyday life. I bring my own lived experience with inattentive ADHD, years of working with children, coaching adults and parents, and doctoral research on how adults make sense of ADHD—especially in workplaces that were not built with us in mind.

My work is person‑before‑ADHD and critical‑of‑ADHD‑discourse: I care about evidence, lived experience, and progress not perfection.

Practical Details

Format

30‑minute or 60-minute sessions via Zoom.
Generally every other week
Coaching packages (for example, 6 or 12 months) with optional between‑session check‑ins via email or shared notes—light structure, not another inbox.

Focus areas clients often bring

Redesigning work rhythms for a brain that doesn’t do “steady output.” and a nervous system that is tired of being in chronic stress.
Navigating performance expectations, burnout, or “ADHD got me fired” fears at work.
Clarifying identity and next steps after (or while questioning) an ADHD diagnosis.
Parenting and caregiving while also being the neurodivergent adult in the room (often in collaboration with ImpactParents resources).

Investment
My standard rate is 200 USD for a 60‑minute session (100 USD for 30 minutes). We typically meet every other week. For 6‑ or 12‑month coaching packages, you can choose automatic monthly payments (5% discount) or pay‑in‑full (10% discount).

Next Step

If you’re curious, the simplest next step is a 20–30 minute Zoom conversation. You bring your questions and a real situation; we see how it feels to think it through together. If it’s a fit, we’ll outline a light‑weight coaching plan. If not, I’ll gladly suggest other resources or approaches.
