Executive Functioning Coaching

Struggling to stay organized, manage your time, or follow through on your goals? You're not alone.

Executive functioning challenges can make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming. You may find yourself procrastinating, missing deadlines, losing track of priorities, or constantly running late—despite your best intentions. You might feel like you’re underperforming, burning out, or letting people down. These struggles can affect not just your work or academic life, but also your relationships, your confidence, and your sense of self.

Whether you’ve always found organization difficult or you’re suddenly struggling due to stress, anxiety, burnout, or a life transition, it can feel exhausting to manage it all on your own.

What is executive functioning, and why does it matter?
Executive functioning refers to a set of mental skills—including planning, time management, working memory, emotional regulation, and impulse control—that help you get things done. These skills are not fixed; they can be strengthened with awareness, support, and the right tools.

When executive functioning is impacted, daily life can start to feel chaotic or unmanageable. Coaching can help you build systems that work for your brain, not against it.

What does executive functioning coaching look like?
At Therapists of New York, executive functioning coaching is tailored to your unique needs, strengths, and goals. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Together with your clinician, you will:

  • Identify the specific areas where you’re feeling stuck or disorganized

  • Explore the emotional patterns—such as shame, perfectionism, or fear of failure—that may be getting in your way

  • Develop concrete strategies and systems for time management, organization, task initiation, and follow-through

  • Build accountability and momentum so change feels achievable, not overwhelming

We also recognize the overlap between executive functioning difficulties and anxiety, ADHD, burnout, and other emotional experiences. Our approach integrates thoughtful attention to both the psychological and practical aspects of your challenges.

You can learn to work with your brain, not against it.
Executive functioning coaching can help you feel more in control, less reactive, and more aligned with your values and goals. It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress and building a sustainable foundation that supports the life you want to lead.
