The market rate for ADHD coaching services in my area is $150/session (USD), and my sessions generally last about an hour. If this seems about what you expected and that price doesn’t make you panic or despair internally, let’s go with that! Having clients that can pay the market rate makes my work sustainable and helps me along the road to being able to do this full time.
However, I also know that during the times I would have benefitted the most from ADHD coaching services, I wouldn’t have been able to fit that rate into my budget. ADHD coaching is generally not covered by health insurance in the US and limited employers offer reimbursement or flexible spending accounts. I don’t want receiving ADHD coaching to cause you additional stress, nor do I want to create more barriers - especially if you happen to have an identity or set of circumstances with fewer societal privileges. I offer a flexible pricing option to all of my clients. Let’s find a number that feels sustainable for you.
At this point, some clients worry how they will possibly pick the ‘right’ number that feels fair and not insulting to me and also fits in their budget. For my part, I know that the same amount of money can feel huge to one person and small to another, and our relationship is based on trust, so as long as we’re both acting in good faith I won’t take the money stuff personally.
If you are using the flexible pricing option, we will decide in advance on a per session rate. This allows me to minimize the administrative labor involved and helps me make business decisions with real numbers and less uncertainty. If your circumstances change, we can always re-evaluate.
