ADHD Coach in Pleasanton | ADHD Burnout & Executive Function
Coaching can be a place to sort out patterns that have shown up through school, jobs, and relationships. It can also be a place to plan for what comes next.
Adults from all over town join my ADHD coaching in Pleasanton, whether home is close to downtown Main Street and the Alameda County Fairgrounds, out in Ruby Hill, or near Stoneridge and the Hacienda business park.
Our first few sessions focus on understanding where your time and energy go. Once we have that picture, we decide which experiments to try.
How it works
We dig in and get curious
Your first step is a free discovery call. You can share what's going on and what kind of support you're looking for, and we can both get a sense of whether working together makes sense. Ongoing sessions are held over video, weekly or every other week, based on your capacity.
We see whether coaching fits
Before any strategy comes into it, we talk through what your days look like, where momentum drops off, what tends to help on a good day, and what gets pushed aside when things pile up.
We try things and adjust
From there, we experiment. That might mean looking at routines, transitions, planning, communication, rest, or how decisions get made. What helps gets kept, what doesn't gets changed, and you leave with more options for when life shifts again.

Missed appointments, late starts, and losing track of time can make a day feel slippery. ADHD coaching explores how you sense time, what reminders you'll notice, and how to build cues into the places you already spend your day. We test a few options and see which ones stick.
Juggling career, caregiving, and personal goals can stretch anyone thin, and ADHD often adds another layer. A big piece of ADHD coaching for women is getting clear on what you want for your own life, along with the practical supports that could help you get there.
Maybe you're still showing up for everything while running low on reserves. ADHD burnout coaching is a place to look at your commitments, recovery habits, and boundaries, and to choose together what to keep and what to put down for now.
Changes during perimenopause can make reliable routines feel shaky. ADHD & perimenopause coaching helps you notice what's different in your days, from memory to motivation, and build routines that make sense for where you are. We stay curious about what each week shows us.
Many adults wonder how their lives might have looked with an earlier diagnosis. If that question is on your mind, late diagnosed ADHD coaching leaves room for it, along with the patterns you'd like to work with in the present. You lead, and we go as deep as feels useful.
Job stress connected to ADHD can show up in performance reviews, project handoffs, or a growing sense that the role doesn't fit. ADHD career coaching is a space to explore these areas and plan the next move, whether that's a small adjustment or a larger change.
Some creative adults with ADHD start strong and lose the thread halfway through. In ADHD & creatives coaching, we look at the middle stretch of your projects, the places you tend to get stuck, and the conditions that help ideas take shape.

Testimonials
"I learned a lot working with Quinn. We mapped out a lot of my ADHD patterns and Quinn helped me see many things that I was doing that were not necessarily helping me. Quinn also offered frameworks and tools to help support me when that is what the situation called for."
Michael H.
"I'm truly grateful for the opportunity to work with Quinn. It was an incredibly valuable experience for me. I looked forward to every session, and each one brought new insights. Quinn helped me work through several deeply important challenges, and I feel much more grounded and self-aware as a result. I wholeheartedly recommend Quinn to anyone navigating neurodiversity in their daily life, but not only. Even without ADHD, she is an exceptional coach and one of those rare professionals who can truly change the trajectory of someone's life."
Masha O.
"There is always more to learn and reflect upon; that is what I have learned the most about myself through Quinn's excellent coaching. Despite having a relatively deep understanding of myself and my ADHD, a competent coach's skill is to foster further self-reflection and to allow the client room to trust themselves in this deeper quest for self-understanding. Quinn has a mastery in knowing when to give me space, when to ask a thought-provoking question, and when to remind me of my wins/strengths. I am thankful for this perspective, which coaching offers to those with ADHD, and for its strength-based approach rather than one of brokenness and negativity. Yes, ADHDers need assistance and strategies with living in a world made for neurotypicals, but sometimes we just need to be reminded that despite it all, we are whole and we are okay."

Hello, I'm Quinn Geear, an ADHD coach in Pleasanton helping adults in the East Bay
My background is in IT leadership, and in my forties I learned I have ADHD. That discovery led me to train at ADD Coach Academy and create Quinn Geear Coaching.
I've kept up a hands on collage practice for more than a decade, and I believe creative time deserves attention. Career shifts, burnout, perimenopause, and the questions a late diagnosis raises are all familiar ground in my sessions.
Let's find out if this fits

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an ADHD coach actually do?
An ADHD coach works alongside you to understand how your attention, energy, and motivation move, then builds practical strategies and accountability around that. With me, that also includes strengths anchoring, values based strategy, and support across every part of your life, not only productivity.
How long do you typically work with clients?
That depends on where you're starting and what you're working toward. Most clients find their footing within three to six months, and many continue longer for ongoing accountability and support. We figure out the right pace together as the work unfolds.
Will insurance pay for an ADHD coach?
ADHD coaching typically isn't covered by health insurance. It is, however, eligible for FSA and HSA funds, as long as you have a Letter of Medical Necessity from your doctor showing coaching is part of your ADHD care.
Do I need a diagnosis to start coaching with you?
No. I work with adults at every stage of understanding their own ADHD: some with a recent diagnosis, some with one from decades ago they never revisited, and some who have never been formally evaluated and are working from a long held hunch. If a formal evaluation is the right next step for you, I can refer you to a psychiatrist for an assessment.
