What We Work On

The daily stuff that's exhausting everyone.

Most parents I work with aren't dealing with one problem. They're dealing with six of them at the same time -- the morning routine, homework, screens, emotional explosions, the same conversation for the hundredth time. We start wherever the pain is highest.

About Jordan
Jordan Schatz, ADHD Family Consultant

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, parents, and adults with ADHD, and I built this practice because I saw a gap between what families were being told and what actually works.

I was that kid. I know what it feels like from the inside, and I know what actually moves the needle from the outside.

What Parents Say

Real words from real families.

My son and I really enjoyed working with Jordan. He was able to help us work together and set up systems and consequences to manage time management challenges that come along with ADHD. My son has grown in his independence and confidence.

Courtney H. -- parent

We learned so much from Jordan. He has helped us create peace in a house with a 10-year-old boy with ADHD. The tools and strategies were not overnight, and we still have more to learn, but I can honestly say -- if you follow the steps -- you can find more peace. We will always be in touch as our kiddo grows and we need more guidance.

Nancy B. -- parent

Jordan was excellent to work with both for my son and as a resource to us as parents. Jordan is easy to talk to and breaks down ADHD so you can understand what your child is going through and how you need to react as a parent. I highly recommend Jordan for newly diagnosed ADHD and for transitions. Jordan has a great personality and energy that anyone would love to learn from.

Questions

Before you reach out.

Do you work with the child directly or with parents?
Both, depending on age and situation. Jordan works directly with children and teens ages 10 and up -- coaching is most effective when the person being coached can reflect on their own patterns and engage actively. For younger children, and for kids who are resistant or not yet ready for one-on-one work, parent coaching almost always produces the fastest results. You're in the room for every transition, every homework battle, every morning meltdown. Teaching you to read those situations and respond differently changes everything. We'll figure out on the intro call what makes the most sense for your child.
What is the difference between coaching and therapy for a child with ADHD?
Therapy treats the emotional and psychological effects of ADHD -- anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and the cumulative impact of years of struggling in systems that weren't built for your child's brain. Coaching is forward-focused and skill-building: routines, organization, task initiation, emotional regulation strategies, and how to set up the home and school environment for success. Both are valuable and work well together. Because Jordan is a licensed therapist and ADHD coach, he can help families navigate that distinction and make referrals when therapy is what's needed. Read the full breakdown here.
At what age should my child start ADHD coaching?
There's no single right answer, but coaching generally becomes most effective around ages 10-12, when kids can reflect on their own patterns and participate actively in the process. Before that, parent coaching almost always produces better results -- the changes you make in how you respond, structure the environment, and communicate with your child have a far bigger impact than anything a coach can do in a weekly session. For teens, one-on-one coaching works very well, especially when they feel ownership over it rather than feeling like something is being done to them.
How do I know if my child needs coaching or therapy?
A useful starting point: if your child is emotionally struggling -- anxious, shut down, depressed, overwhelmed by the gap between who they are and who they feel they're supposed to be -- they likely need therapy first, or alongside coaching. If the main challenges are behavioral and practical -- can't get out the door in the morning, won't do homework, loses everything, can't manage time -- coaching is often the right fit. Many kids need both. As a licensed therapist and ADHD coach, Jordan can help families navigate that distinction rather than trying to fit every situation into coaching.
What results can I expect from ADHD family coaching?
Every family is different, but the common thread is less friction at home and a better understanding of what's actually driving your child's behavior. Parents typically report feeling less reactive and more strategic -- less like you're constantly putting out fires, and more like you have a framework for the hard moments. For kids, progress shows up as improved follow-through on routines, better self-awareness, and over time, more confidence. ADHD doesn't go away, but it becomes much more manageable when your family learns to work with the brain instead of against it.
My child refuses to see anyone. Can parent coaching still help?
Yes, and often significantly. Research on ADHD consistently shows that parent-mediated approaches are highly effective, especially for younger children. When you change how you respond to your child's behavior -- reducing power struggles, building routines that match how their brain works, responding to meltdowns in ways that de-escalate rather than escalate -- the child's behavior often shifts even without them sitting across from a coach. You are the most powerful intervention in your child's life. Parent coaching works directly with that.
Is this 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 if that applies to your family. If cost is a barrier, it's worth raising on the intro call. Jordan would rather have that conversation upfront than have it become a reason for stopping mid-progress.
Do you work virtually or in person?
All coaching sessions are virtual, so families across the country can work with Jordan. Sessions happen over video. For parent coaching especially, virtual works extremely well -- you can describe your actual home setup, walk through the kitchen-table homework situation, and work through real moments without anyone needing to travel.
