Are you asking for options for an adult or a child, and do you prefer a coach (skills & accountability) or a therapist (psychotherapy like CBT)? That will help me tailor recommendations. Meanwhile, here are strong non‑medication options and specific places to find them. Top evidence‑based approaches (non‑medication) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for ADHD (CBT‑ADHD): best evidence for adults who want symptom management, coping skills, and relapse prevention. Look for therapists trained in “CBT for adult ADHD” (Safren method). ADHD coaching / executive‑function coaching: skills‑and-accountability focused — time management, planning, routines, workplace/school strategies. Coaching is practical and action‑oriented rather than psychotherapy. Parent training & behavioral interventions: for children, parent/teacher behavior‑management training and classroom accommodations are effective. FDA‑cleared digital therapeutic (kids): EndeavorRx (by Akili Interactive) — a prescription video‑game therapy cleared for children 8–12 as a non‑drug option. Where to find reputable clinicians and coaches CHADD (chadd.org): National org with local chapters, evidence‑based resources, and a professional directory for clinicians and parent programs. Why: large, reputable ADHD nonprofit with vetted resources and local support groups. ADHD Coaches Organization (ADHD Coaches Organization — ACO) directory: Why: directory of credentialed ADHD coaches and standards specific to ADHD coaching. Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA — add.org): Why: adult‑focused nonprofit with webinars, coaching resources, and peer support. ADDitude (additudemag.com): Why: practical, evidence‑based articles, webinar lists, and frequent directories of clinicians and coaches. Psychology Today / GoodTherapy: Why: filterable therapist directories — search for “CBT for ADHD,” “adult ADHD,” or “executive function coaching” and read clinician descriptions and specialties. Specific services/platforms (for coaching or therapy access) BetterHelp and Talkspace: Why: easy online access to therapists; check therapist profiles for ADHD/CBT experience. (Quality varies; request clinicians experienced in adult ADHD.) EndeavorRx (Akili Interactive) — prescription digital therapeutic: Why: FDA‑cleared non‑drug intervention for kids 8–12 that targets attentional control through a game‑based program. Coach.me: Why: affordable habit and executive‑function coaching with on‑demand coaches (good for goal tracking and habit formation). ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA) — training organization: Why: many experienced ADHD coaches train here; you can look for graduates if you want a coach with that specific training. How to choose a good coach or therapist For therapists: look for CBT experience specifically for adult ADHD (Safren’s CBT model), licensure (LPC, LCSW, LMFT, PhD/PsyD), and willingness to use structured skill teaching and homework. For coaches: check credentials (ICF training or ACO membership), years working with ADHD clients, sample plan for executive‑function goals, and client references or testimonials. Ask for a free consult, goals and metrics, session frequency, cancellations, and whether they coordinate with schools/employers if needed. Consider group skills programs (often cheaper) for organization/time management training. If you tell me: adult vs child, online vs local, budget/insurance, and whether you want coaching or therapy, I’ll give 3–5 specific providers or clinicians near you (or online) and scripts to use when you contact them.
