Executive Function Coaching
Executive Function Coaching
Executive function coaching provides individual, one-on-one, support to help clients develop skills for improving daily functioning. Executive function (EF) is a term used to describe a set of neurocognitive/neurobehavioral processes that help individuals regulate behaviors and emotions to achieve their own goals. The focus of EF coaching is development and implementation of strategies to reach client-identified goals of enhanced performance and personal satisfaction. EF coaching may address specific personal projects, life balance, job performance and satisfaction, or general conditions in the client’s life. EF Coaching utilizes personal strategic planning, values clarification, brainstorming, motivational counseling, and other counseling techniques.
EF coaching sessions occur more often than counseling sessions and are time limited because coaching sessions focus on client’s progress towards their goals. Unlike counseling/psychotherapy, EF coaching does not focus on identification, diagnosis, or treatment of mental and nervous disorders. Instead, EF coaching is designed to help client’s meet their daily goals and improve their EF functioning through skill development, increased accountability, and improved motivation. Collaborative problem-solving can occur to decide next steps in continuing, modifying goals or ending coaching. Coaching is flexible in terms of schedule and setting, providing convenience for clients and clinicians to provide and receive services by telephone or video. CAPS EF coaching services are available for high school and college students. Our EF coaching services typically includes 8-10 individual sessions across 4-6 weeks. Please contact CAPS (caps@radford.edu) for more information and availability.
