ADHD COACH, Andrew Avery

My life felt like a never-ending battle I was destined to lose. I soldiered on, year after year, suffering a fate common to adults with untreated or undertreated ADHD:

  • lack of career and underemployment,
  • stressful and ultimately doomed relationships
  • nearly unbearable levels of frustration and anxiety
  • a deep sense of shame over having failed to make more of myself
  • feelings of isolation and anger from being judged unfairly and misunderstood

When I finally discovered how to decipher and tame my ADHD at the age of 40, I made it my mission to share my experience with others, so you wouldn’t suffer what I went through. But first I got support and a lot of training:

  • a Master’s in Spiritual Psychology at University of Santa Monica
  • Soul-Centered Coaching Program at University of Santa Monica
  • ADHD Coach training from the ADD Coaching Academy

Then I distilled and organized all of my experience and knowledge into a program of coaching, ADHD Traction.

Praise for Coach Drew

Andrew is an incredible force in this world. I, like many individuals with ADHD, had felt trapped in crippling negative perception. Emotional trauma and trauma from professional experiences left me feeling frustrated, unmotivated, and unloved.

I never knew the power of an ADHD coach, like Andrew, because he specifically addresses you as an individual with ADHD. When he frames things from the ADHD perspective it helps you really tap into your gifts and your hidden potential, and turn inward to love the person that you are. Being trapped in negativity and trauma was just a circumstantial position I was in, but Andrew really helped me to see the light in myself and turn to my passions as valuable traits to the world, to others, and to my family.

You are worth all the love and wisdom in the universe. All power to the uniqueness in ADHD. Thanks Andrew!

Since you’ve been talking to your coach, it’s like I’m living with an adult now. I feel lazy not having to manage your life and my own.

Coach Andrew provided me with a very valuable service.  As a recently diagnosed person with ADHD, he is very easy to talk with and very understanding of the ups and downs of ADHD.  He pointed out to me the little accomplishments that I did make and wasn’t even aware of.  He’s more caring than many of the therapists I’ve seen for ADHD and many times this is much more helpful to a person who is struggling with this hard to manage disorder. Thank you, Coach Andrew!

I’ve been with Coach Andrew for a few months now, every session I come out with profound thoughts that help me. I’m able to get a hold on my adult ADHD with his help and truly begin to live up to the potential I know I have.

With that said he’s also gone out of his way to work with my gf and I on our communication skills. His guidance and coaching has been very helpful insight into discovering the best ways our relationship can deal with ADHD.

I highly recommend him to anyone who may be looking for a coach.

Andrew’s holistic and optimistic approach to treating adult ADHD is a welcome divergence from your traditional options. Instead of just getting a prescription, you will gain the tools and lifelong skill set to help yourself—be that a stand-alone or supplemental treatment.

Don’t lead a distracted life when you can lead a fully engaged one. Andrew’s coaching on ADHD Traction can help you enact that lasting change you’re seeking.

Amy K.

Like a lot of other guys in their 40s, I didn’t realize that I had ADD until I started researching some of my son’s behavioral symptoms, traced their roots to ADD, and saw a lot of familiar patterns.

Before jumping straight to medication, I reached out to Andrew to try and learn more about how ADD affects various aspects of life. That was 8 months ago. I’ve been speaking with Andrew regularly and have had my mind blown time and time again as I uncover the roots of how I process information, partake in overindulgence, manage my emotions and compartmentalization (or fail at it), bounce around from project to project and so much more. A lot of it I had incorrectly assumed was varying degrees of anxiety/manic depression for my entire life.

Anyway, I can’t recommend Andrew highly enough. It’s been a wild ride.

Mac M.

I don’t have ADHD myself, but my boyfriend does. We have started our couple coaching this year, and we are very glad of the positive results.  Some of the communication tools he teaches us are quite effective, and we do feel growth every time after our coaching session.

There are a lot of resources for ADHD, but maybe not enough for the loved ones who are in a significant relationship with an ADHDer. I highly recommend ADHD relationship couples to start considering hiring a coach. This could be life-changing.

Thanks to Andrew, now I know better how to communicate with my boyfriend. There is still work ahead of us, but I see hope 🙂.

Andrew is caring and very knowledgeable about ADHD’s various ways it can mess up a good life. He is very giving of himself & his expertise.  I am grateful I came across Andrew!

John O.

Andrew has been a big support in my life on my journey to figuring out what’s holding me back to be my honest and best self. He doesn’t encourage you to mask anything, instead get to the root of the issue, find acceptance and then find an action to address it. We were able to work together and figure out the reasoning behind my depression and not being as accomplished as I could be.

My ADHD has derailed me so far that I haven’t felt successful in achieving my goals and that’s why I’ve been feeling unmotivated and hard on myself. With structure, guidance and redirecting my thinking, I’ve been able to take one task at a time and give myself the space to stop and give myself credit for what I have done and not feel I have to do it all in a day’s work.

Andrew is a realist, doesn’t have a judgmental bone in his body. He’s genuine and is deeply compassionate about actually helping his clients see results. I recommend him to anyone.

The ADHD Tax

My Fellow Distractoids,  One main attribute of an unreconstructed Distractoid is frequent payment of the “ADHD Tax.” Masters of Distraction (MODS), on the other hand, rarely have to pony up to “The Man.”  At this point you might ask, “What the hell is the...
