Hello, I’m Lauren Brentt Fishman!

Certified personal/professional coach with a special interest and education in all things ADHD. Educated through the Internationally recognized ADD Coach Academy “ADDCA.” I am a member of ACO, ADDA, and ICF.

I have a BA from UCSC (Go Banana Slugs!), I earned my ACCG credential from ADDCA, I am a designated PCC (Professional Certified Coach) through the ICF (International Coaching Federation). I am also proud to have a certificate of completion for The Science of Well-Being course with Dr. Laurie Santos of Yale. I dream of someday obtaining my Masters in Positive Psychology. I also dream of traveling across the U.S. in an Airstream.
Did I mention? I have ADHD too!!!
My coaching style
I meet each client exactly where they are. I let them lead the way in our sessions and I partner with them towards achieving clarity in their thoughts and dreams and help them move towards purposeful action.
I use a positive, strengths-based approach and the space I provide is judgment-free. My training in working with the ADHD community allows me to draw on specific tools and strategies that, in fact, work just as well for the general population.
My role as your coach is to listen deeply to what you bring forth and help guide you in the direction you want to go.
Many of us (whether there’s ADHD present or not) feel overwhelmed, distracted, misunderstood, alone and often have trouble getting started on important tasks. I will help you normalize these negative and confusing experiences so you can springboard forward rather than getting weighted down by them. Together, we will uncover your strengths, aspirations and interests. Eventually you will emerge with the confidence and enthusiasm to level up in your relationships, your career, as an advocate for your children or parents, or wherever else you may feel stuck. Through our work together, you will become familiar with tools, resources, and systems that will help you (and your family) in a very concrete and profound way.
After a series of sessions with me, you can expect to feel sparks of energy and enthusiasm,
as well as an overall sense of positivity and possibility.
