Is it proven method? If so, insurance should cover it so you don't have to pay subscription fees out of your pocket. If not, don't bother. There are thousands of services like this, and I have not heard any one of them that worked for the vast majority of people with ADHD.

Yes, ADHD coaching has been studied and outcomes have been proven. Experts like Russell Barkley also recommend it. The challenge isn't coaching as a modality, but rather the sparseness in quality across the whole coaching field since it's not a protected term. At Shimmer, our coaches are vetted, trained, and supervised, and practice evidence-based methodologies that have been designed in partnership with our clinical partners.

We also track outcomes. - 83% of Shimmer ADHD coaching members self report better ability to manage their symptoms after 6 weeks. - Shimmer members improve their BDEFS scores (Executive Functioning Skills) by 12% over a 3 month coaching period. - Shimmer members reduce their BFIS scores (Life impairment across key life domains) by 17% over a 3 month coaching period.

Do you have a published peer-reviewed studies on your method?
ADHD coaching is as proven as regular life coaching - not at all. It's done by people who want that therapist money without having to bother with getting a degree or being a practitioner in a regulated industry. The ADHD coaching space is particularly predatory in my experience.
