Equipping your child with the "brain management" skills they need to organize their life, initiate tasks, and confidently succeed at school and home.
As a parent, it is incredibly frustrating to watch your highly intelligent child or teen constantly struggle with daily routines. You might be dealing with:
Backpacks that look like a black hole of crumpled papers.
Homework that gets completed but "forgotten" to be turned in.
Procrastination that leads to late-night meltdowns.
"Time blindness" (spending 2 hours on a 15-minute assignment).
Difficulty starting tasks unless someone is standing over their shoulder.
This is not laziness, and it is not a lack of trying. These are classic signs of weak executive functioning skills.
Executive functions are the brain's "management system." They control our ability to plan, focus, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks successfully. In children with ADHD or anxiety, this management system is often underdeveloped.
At Healthy Endeavors, Executive Functioning Coaching is the core of our practice. We do not believe in just handing out a medication prescription and hoping the disorganized backpack fixes itself. Instead, Rebecca Gassett works directly with your child (and you) to build a custom toolkit of real-world skills.
Our Coaching Sessions Focus On:
Task Initiation: How to start the overwhelming or boring project.
Time Management & Planning: How to break a big project down into small, actionable steps.
Working Memory & Organization: Creating physical systems that actually work for their specific brain (planners, reminders, visual schedules).
Emotional Regulation: How to handle the frustration when things get hard without shutting down.
"Rebecca is so kind and helpful. Our daughter has gone from struggling to thriving since starting treatment with her, and she loves going to coaching sessions every week. I'm super grateful that we found her!" - TS
Executive Functioning Coaching is highly personalized. After an initial intake or ADHD evaluation to determine your child's specific baseline, we schedule targeted coaching sessions to build these vital life skills.
Coaching Sessions: $85 per 30-minute session (Insurance accepted for those with in-network coverage).
Convenience: We offer in-person coaching in Tempe or via Telehealth across Arizona, so your teen can join right after school from the comfort of their room.
