Support for Professionals Feeling Overwhelmed, Burned Out, or Stuck
ADHD and executive function coaching and mental health counseling for adults navigating demanding careers, graduate study, parenting, and everyday life.
All sessions take place online. Counseling is available to adults located in Pennsylvania.
When keeping up takes too much out of you
You may be meeting expectations while finding it difficult to get started, follow through, or make time for yourself. You might recognize:
Knowing what needs to be done but struggling to begin.
Finding it difficult to prioritize or follow through.
Feeling anxious, depleted, or unable to switch off.
Having little time or energy left for your own needs.
You’re relied on by others and expected to function at a high level.
Task initiation and follow-through feel inconsistent.
Burnout, anxiety, or overwhelm are creeping in.
Productivity takes more effort than it used to.
You don’t feel like yourself – but you’re still “holding it together.”
Thoughtful, practical support for complex lives
My work focuses on executive function, burnout, ADHD, anxiety, identity strain, and the invisible load carried by high-achieving adults. Together, we slow things down enough to understand what’s actually making life feel hard — and build approaches that work in real life, not ideal conditions.
Executive function and task initiation support.
Burnout and overwhelm recovery.
Graduate and professional pressure.
Parenting alongside demanding careers.
Workplace accommodations and self-advocacy.
Two ways to work together
ADHD and Executive Function Coaching
Coaching focuses on practical goals such as planning, prioritizing, starting tasks, following through, and developing workable routines. We develop strategies you can try in daily life and adjust them based on your experience.
Mental Health Counseling
Counseling addresses emotional and mental health concerns, including anxiety, burnout, and relationship difficulties, with attention to patterns affecting your well-being. I provide counseling as a pre-licensed professional under clinical supervision in Pennsylvania.
Counseling and coaching are distinct services, and we can discuss which may be appropriate for your needs.
A thoughtful, practical approach
I’m Lauren Ascher, an ADDCA Associate Certified Coach (AACC), certified through the ADD Coach Academy. My previous work as an attorney and special education teacher informs my understanding of demanding careers and the importance of adapting support to each person.
My approach combines careful listening, reflection, and practical problem-solving. We set goals together and pay attention to what is helping, what remains difficult, and what needs to change.
I take your concerns seriously and recognize the effort you may already be making. Your priorities, preferences, and circumstances guide our work.
Let’s talk about what you need
A consultation is a chance to share what brings you here, ask questions, and learn about my approach. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
