Adult ADHD & Adult Autism Coaching Gain frameworks, skills, and communication to navigate life in Littleton and DTC.

In our society, the typical age of first autism diagnosis is between four and five years of age. ADHD has been identified in children as young as three. Some people struggle through life and are not identified as having adult autism or adult ADHD until well into adulthood. The unfortunate reality we face is that some doctors do not believe adult ADHD is a real situation and almost every ADHD and autism program we’ve encountered is geared towards youth and adolescents. Once we turned 18 and became an “adult”, we were on our own.

Many people with adult ADHD or adult autism feel that their deck of cards is stacked against them and life’s experiences have shown them they will always struggle. We’re here to help with adult ADHD coaching and adult autism coaching for adults and executives with real-world assistance provided by staff with first-hand experience with adult ADHD and adult autism.

The fields of adult ADHD coaching and adult autism coaching are only now being realized as necessary and helpful. As with any emerging area of expertise, resources can be limited at times. Misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose can be due to existing misconceptions and prejudices about the conditions, and limited exposure and training on the part of medical and mental health providers, especially in the case when working with adults. You do not need to have a formal diagnosis of ADHD or autism to work with a coach. Our frameworks and strategies can help bring additional order and success to your life.

Navigating Relationships

Life is comprised of multiple layers of overlapping— and sometimes conflicting— relationships. No matter how hard those of us with autism might try to avoid them, we encounter them everywhere. Adult ADHD can have dramatic effects on relationships for both partners.

Navigating these relationships can be scary, frustrating, and even satisfying. Sometimes we just cannot understand others and why they place the importance on interactions. A third-party perspective can help you redefine your comfort.

We work with clients for so much more than only romantic relationships. Finding success in work and interpersonal relationships can renew life satisfaction.

Our coaches work with you to identify the skills you feel you need to make your relationships work for you. Together, we set realistic and incremental goals to enhance executive skills and improve self-regulation and self-soothing. We help you erect scaffolding to assist you with “all those things you forget to do”. Our goal is to make you more successful in the ways you feel are important.

Executive skills: business and life

Many people with adult ADHD or adult autism have experienced failure for the greater part of their lives: we’re always letting people down because we are not what others want us to be. All that we did do was never good enough. Many of us are scared to try again, only to disappoint everyone around us. We help reshape these experiences and set healthier expectations going forward.

People may call you lazy or always distracted. All people with ADHD and autism have executive skill disorders. Not all people with executive skill disorders have adult ADHD or adult autism. There are no textbook answers to working with adult ADHD or adult autism— we work from first-hand ADHD and autism experience and clinical best practices. We strive for qualitative results that will improve your life and reality.

We help you define, refine, and empower your goals. We work with you on planning and procrastination. We teach organization— not like they do in streaming shows! We strive to make your organization style work for you.

We are ready to work with you across the entire spectrum of your life. We help identify methods and life hacks to improve your earning ability.

There are lazy and distracted people out there. Let’s get you feeling like you are not one of them.

Questions Answered At a Glance

Discover what makes therapy work

What makes sex therapy different from “normal” therapy?

Sex therapy is a type of psychotherapy that focuses specifically on communication, relationships, intimacy, and sex. We often discuss low libido, desire discrepancy, painful intercourse, non-traditional relationships, orgasm difficulties, and sexual preferences.

What is sex therapy?

Sex therapy is a form of talk therapy that helps people deal with sexual problems and improve their sexual health and well-being. It’s important because we’re all sexual beings, and our mental health can affect our sexual desire and pleasure. Sex therapy can help people talk about uncomfortable things about sex, intimacy, and communication, but it’s important to remember that many sexual health problems could be solved if people talked openly about sex and their experiences.

Are you comfortable talking about ethical non-monagomy (ENM)?

Yes. Ethical non-monogamy (ENM) is a relationship style that focuses on honesty, openness, and mutual agreement when it comes to having multiple romantic or sexual partners. Whether you’re just starting to think about this idea or have been curious for a while, ethical non-monogamy can be a really liberating way to love and connect. But it’s important to know that this lifestyle might not be right for everyone. That’s totally okay. The real question is, does ENM fit with your values and emotional needs?

Can you help with struggles with sex and religion?

You might be confused about why feelings about sex are so tough when you believe “God made us as we are.” This struggle and doubt can make you feel even more ashamed and alone from your partner. You might even wonder if you’re going through religious sexual trauma, even though you were never physically abused in the church. This unwanted religious sexual dysfunction can strain your intimate relationships, and it might make the pain, guilt, and shame you’ve been carrying since you were a kid even worse. We can help.

Are our sexual wants normal?

It can be tough to figure out what’s “normal” when it comes to sex, because everyone’s different. Instead of trying to fit in with what others think is “normal,” it’s more important to listen to your own body and mind. Think about what makes you feel good and what you’ve been wanting lately. Comparing yourself to others or to porn can make you feel bad about yourself, but if you’re struggling with your sexual identity, know that you’re not alone.

My partner and I have mismatched desire. Are we normal?

A common concern is the struggle with low libido or decreased arousal. Many people experience fluctuations in their sexual desire—often due to medical conditions, stress, or other underlying factors. If your current arousal levels differ significantly from the past or from your partner, discussing it with one of our certified psychosexual therapists can help alleviate anxiety and provide guidance on how to address the issue.

How do I know when it’s time to talk to someone about my sexual issues?

If you’ve been looking for info about sex therapy and common sexual concerns, you’ve already taken a huge step towards acknowledging your worries. If your concerns keep you up a night, talking to a sex therapist could give you some clarity and help you find solutions.
