What We Work On
The patterns that keep showing up.
Most adults with ADHD I work with have already read the books, tried the apps, and bought the planners. The problem isn't information -- it's that those tools weren't designed for a brain that processes reward, time, and motivation differently. We start there.
- Focus and follow-through -- starting things, finishing things, staying on track
- Time management and transitions -- the gap between knowing and doing
- Work performance -- systems that don't fall apart under pressure
- Relationships -- how ADHD affects the people around you and what to do about it
- Rejection sensitivity -- understanding why feedback hits so hard
- Building structure that works with your brain, not against it

About Jordan
Jordan Schatz, LMHC-LP
I'm a licensed mental health counselor and ADHD Family Consultant based in Brooklyn. I've spent the past several years working with kids, teens, and adults with ADHD -- and I built this practice because I kept seeing the same gap: smart people doing everything right by conventional standards, and still struggling because the system they were using wasn't built for their brain.
I was that kid. The ADHD wasn't something I studied from a distance.

Questions
Before you reach out.
What is the difference between ADHD coaching and therapy?
Therapy is designed to treat mental health conditions and process emotional history -- patterns from the past that shape how you feel and function today. Coaching is forward-focused and practical: we work on systems, routines, and strategies for right now. How do you start tasks you keep avoiding? How do you stop losing things? How do you build a schedule that actually works for your brain? Because Jordan is a licensed therapist with years of ADHD experience, he can recognize when a conversation needs a clinical lens -- and help you find the right support for that. Many clients do both simultaneously. Read the full breakdown here.
How does ADHD coaching actually work?
We meet weekly or biweekly on video. Sessions are 45-50 minutes. The first few sessions are about understanding your specific ADHD profile -- not just what's hard, but how your brain works when it's working. From there we build systems: routines, external structures, and strategies for your biggest friction points. We track what's working and adjust as we go. ADHD coaching isn't one-size-fits-all -- an approach that transforms one person's life will be completely wrong for another. A big part of the work is figuring out which tools match your specific brain, your specific life, and your specific goals.
What does an ADHD coaching session actually look like?
Most sessions start with a quick check-in on the week -- what worked, what didn't, what got in the way. From there we focus on whatever is most pressing: a project you've been avoiding, a system that broke down, a situation at work getting complicated. Sessions are structured but flexible. Jordan takes notes and sends a brief follow-up after each session so you don't have to hold everything in your head. The goal is for every session to produce one or two concrete things you can actually use -- not insights that evaporate by Tuesday.
Do I need a formal ADHD diagnosis to work with you?
No. A diagnosis is useful context but not a requirement. What matters is whether the patterns are affecting your life -- difficulty starting tasks, losing track of time, acting on impulse, struggling to follow through despite your best intentions. If you're living with those challenges, we can work on them whether or not you have a formal diagnosis. If you're in New York or New Jersey and want a neuropsychological evaluation, Jordan offers those through his therapy practice at jordanschatz.work. An evaluation can open doors to workplace accommodations, medication, and a clearer picture of your ADHD profile.
Is ADHD coaching covered by insurance?
Coaching is not covered by insurance -- it's a private-pay service. Jordan's therapy practice at jordanschatz.work accepts out-of-network benefits for therapy services, but does not take in-network insurance. If cost is a concern, it's worth raising on the intro call so you can make an informed decision before committing.
Do you offer virtual ADHD coaching or in-person sessions?
All coaching sessions are virtual, so Jordan can work with adults anywhere in the United States. Sessions happen over video -- most clients prefer this because it fits into the workday without adding a commute. If you're in Brooklyn or New York City and are looking for in-person support, Jordan also runs a therapy practice that operates in person.
What if I've tried ADHD coaching before and it didn't work?
This comes up often, and it's worth talking about on the intro call. In most cases, one of a few things happened: the coaching approach didn't match how your brain actually works, the timing wasn't right, or you got generic advice that didn't account for your specific profile. ADHD makes it very hard to sustain something new when life is already at capacity. Jordan's background as a licensed therapist means he looks at the full picture -- not just your to-do list. A 30-minute intro call will tell you quickly whether this would be different.
How is ADHD coaching different from just reading a book about ADHD?
Books give you concepts. Coaching gives you implementation. If knowing information were enough, ADHD wouldn't be the challenge it is -- most adults with ADHD could pass a test on everything they're supposed to do. The problem isn't knowledge; it's execution. In coaching, we work on your specific friction points in real time, troubleshoot when things don't work, and build accountability between sessions. Jordan will also recommend books and resources when they're genuinely useful for your situation.
