"I've tried...ADHD medication without coaching, counselors (without ADHD experience), and vocational rehabilitation... What I like about working with Lori is her positive upbeat energy, her authenticity, and ability to help you find out what works for you. As a facilitator Lori is very structured, organized and also very patient and empathetic to the needs of her clients. She helps you learn how to overcome obstacles that keep you from completing tasks, reaching goals, feeling confident in yourself and knowing that you can succeed in changing your life for the better. When it came to the things I was truly interested in and excited about doing... there were times when I felt like I had to explain to others my struggle to do things in a timely manner I've even been told.. THeir response was, "Okay, but let's just set ADHD aside for now and let's focus on this or that etc." I feel more confident now in expressing myself to others about the difficulties that I experience because I no longer feel alone in the ADHD struggle. This Community feels like family. In this group... I don't have to try and set aside what I cannot ! Instead, my struggles are acknowledged in a safe space with no judgment and I can find ways to solve problems related to ADHD that are helpful rather than harmful.As a facilitator Lori is very structured, organized and also very patient and empathetic to the needs of her clients. Whether we are in a one-on-one or in a group setting, Lori helps me learn how to build structure or routine around my day, prioritize my tasks, and recommends helpful ways to stay focused as well as time management. She is very authentic. I can feel she genuinely wants the best for people and wants to see her clients succeed at reaching their goals and feeling confident in themselves. She also goes above and beyond to help you find out what your strengths and weaknesses are and helps you learn to set realistic goals for yourself."

Three words to describe you: Dedicated, caring, responsive. What stands out about you is that you aren't just reading about ADHD from a book, you've lived it and live it with us. This allows for a level of understanding that carries through when we share about our experiences. You understand the challenges first hand. Feeling understood and being understood is really important for Neurodiverse folks who go their whole life not being understood. I like hearing the stories from your life and how you have had to dig and find resources and learn skills to help yourself thrive. And I like when you share those resources and tips with us. Because it's hard to find information for adults that doesn't feel medical. I do better when there's equality in relationships and not clinical speak where I feel there is a power imbalance. In group, we are all humans sharing and learning from one another. No one knows better than anyone else and we genuinely care about each other.
