Dylan Alter

You know the feeling: the anxiety that keeps you "on time" but also keeps you exhausted. The way your brain latches onto the wrong things while the important ones drift. The gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it.

That gap isn't a character flaw. It's executive dysfunction—and it responds beautifully to the right kind of support.

I offer 1:1 ADHD coaching grounded in research (Barkley, Dodson, Hallowell) and lived neurodivergent experience. Together, we'll move beyond coping through anxiety and build external scaffolding that actually works for your brain. That means:

Practical strategies for time, task initiation, and follow-through, with practice and implementation support

A space to untangle worth from productivity

Gentle, curious and supportive accountability—not shame

Tools that match your energy, your values, and your individuality

Creating ADHD affirming support systems.

I coach adults navigating new diagnosis's, school, work, relationships, and all the messiness of life. My approach is warm, direct, and tailored to how your ADHD shows up in your unique life—whether that's  task initiation, planning & prioritizing, hyperfocus, perfectionism, demand avoidance, emotional dysregulation, RSD, time blindness, or the quiet burnout of masking.

No hustle culture. No one-size-fits-all planners. Just real, sustainable support for the way you actually live.

Client Testimonial: "I have been working with Dylan for almost 3 years and I cannot overstate how positively life changing it has been. I started coaching with Dylan shortly after getting diagnosed with ADHD and deciding to leave a masters program. Since then they've supported me as I worked full time, applied to graduate school, studied and worked part time, and transitioned to being a full time student. I could not have successfully navigated that many transitions in 3 years without them!

We've done things like look at patterns I get into, reframe how I look at situations and at myself and my own abilities. Sometimes during an appointment we just work on writing one paragraph for an assignment together that has felt like a big hurdle. They are always willing and prepared to address whatever is going on and they do so with incredible compassion, knowledge, and humor. They never make me feel any shame or judgement when we've talked about a strategy and it doesn't work or I haven't done it. Dylan truly accepts you as you are and where you're at and cares about supporting you so you can do the things you want. They also never forget to celebrate the wins!

One of the worst parts of ADHD is feeling like you can't do something not because of your desire or intellect, but because of navigating a system. I was really starting to think that I wouldn't be able to get a graduate degree. I not only believe that it is possible, but Dylan has helped me actually get to enjoy the more positive aspects of it too"
