In Canada, most extended health benefits cover Psychotherapy or Social Work. I am neither. My credentials are PCC or PCAC Coach certifications.

Some extended health benefit providers are covering ADHD Coaching or they may offer ‘Wellness or Flex’ Benefits that can be applied to Coaching.

You must verify this with your provider.

ADHD coaching focuses on a collaborative partnership, helping clients take strengths-based, empowered actions towards their goals. It emphasizes practical steps and future-focused strategies.

Therapy, on the other hand, uses various approaches (CBT, DBT, ACT, etc.) to explore past experiences and facilitate healing, offering tools for emotional stability and coping.

Both approaches use different tools and both have strong evidence of helping Adults with ADHD learn to manage their life more effectively.

I do not work with children or teens, my focus for ADHD coaching is with students in Post-secondary school.

There are a number of Academic Strategists and ADHD Coaches who specialize in supporting children, teens and young adults more specifically with Academic Learning Strategies.

I have included a link below to some resources to help in your search.
