In Canada, ADHD Coaching is generally NOT covered by insurance benefits. Most extended health benefits cover Psychotherapists or Social Worker and I am neither.

My credentials are PCC or PCAC Coach certifications.

However, this is starting to shift and some insurance providers are now offering ‘Wellness or Flex’ Benefits that can be applied to ADHD Coaching.

You must verify this with your provider.

The cost of ADHD Coaching may qualify as:

A Medical Expense for Income Tax purposes in Canada. (verify with an Accountant if you qualify)

Professional Development if your employer supports coaching.

As a Business Expense if you are a business owner.

ADHD Coaching services at Thrive Coaching have been deemed HST exempt through an approval process with the CRA.

This means, the fee charged is as posted.

ADHD coaching focuses on a collaborative partnership, helping clients take strengths-based, empowered actions towards their goals. Coaching 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 have strong evidence that they can help adults with ADHD to manage life more effectively.

No. My focus is on more wholistic ADHD coaching and executive function challenges.

No, I do not work with children or teens; my focus for ADHD coaching is with Professional Adults and 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.
