Living a healthy lifestyle takes commitment and work. The average person has many tools available to help them achieve their goals. But people who live with ADHD, Executive Function Disorder, learning disabilities or similar disorders have an extra layer of difficulty added to their journey.

Although we traditionally think of ADHD as being an issue with children, people of all ages struggle. The inability to focus, manage time and organize things impacts the way they function in all aspects of their lives. Today, Dr. Carey Heller, a licensed, clinical psychologist, is with me to share how he “blends traditional talk therapy with practical ADHD/executive function coaching to provide clients with concrete tools in order to facilitate making improvements with time management and organizational skills” so they can succeed in any area of life, whether it has to do with health and fitness, schoolwork, or business goals.

“As a psychologist, he is able to help people process their feelings, increase motivation, improve self-esteem, and address other relevant things which, paired with practical strategies, can lead to significant improvements in task completion, being more relaxed, and greater satisfaction as well as success in life”.

Through evaluation and testing Dr. Heller works to figure out what is going on with each client to target their treatment. He believes that everyone is on an individualized journey; There is no single answer to fit every situation.

Does that sound like “eyes on your own paper”? I see many parallels between how Dr. Heller and I coach. Now I just wish I had that psychologist background to go with it.

If you or a loved one is dealing with ADHD or related disorders, I hope today’s interview will let you know that there are helpful resources out there.
