What are clients saying?

I am really fortunate to found Nicole through her FB page while we were looking for EF information online.  The amount of knowledge and extra effort Nicole put on the FB first caught my attention, and then we started the journey with Nicole to help and guide my kid. Nicole always goes beyond to provide help, it is very impressive how Nicole makes herself available to both my kid and us, the parents. Her sessions not only give my kid specific time/stress management methods, but also great emotional support to let them feel hopeful while struggling with EF skills. She is so knowledgeable, compassionate and positive. I learned so much from her!  We really appreciate all the support from Nicole!"

Factors that Contribute to
Executive Function Weakness

Memory

If you have executive dysfunction, there is no limit to the types of memory issues that it can involve - you might forget small details or entire events.

 

You might leave something at home that you needed for your day, or forget about what you were supposed to do that day entirely.

 

You might have a hard time composing text or solving complex math problems. It carries over into all areas of life.

​

​

Behavior & Emotional Regulation

The ways we behave and handle emotions play a big role in how others perceive us. 

​

If you struggle to regulate how you feel, it might be very difficult to control how you behave, especially in stressful situations.

Planning, Prioritizing & Task Management

In order to get things done, we have to be able to plan our time. If you have executive dysfunction, you may be disorganized, have difficulty making and sticking to plans with people, and have a hard time getting tasks done on time.

​

​

Focus, Accountability & Problem Solving

Solving problems can seem difficult because people with executive dysfunction lack flexible thinking, which is the ability to see things from different angles.  

​

People with executive dysfunction struggle to create an environment that is geared toward focus. 

​

It is helpful to work with your diagnosis and not against it. Accountability partners and support groups can help with this.
