Share your knowledge and expertise through our platform and become a leader in supporting the ADHD community. Write blog articles, run workshops, sit on panels, and create content to help educate and support neurodivergent individuals! We pride ourselves on making these opportunities accessible and support coaches with writing, presentations, and video editing should they want it!

We actively seek out coach feedback and feature requests to build the best experience for our team. By joining Shimmer, you join an organization committed to helping you succeed.

What is ADHD coaching & how does it work at Shimmer?

Shimmer’s ADHD coaching is about making actionable changes in your life. We help you achieve improvements across various domains of your life, specifically addressing ADHD-related challenges. Our solution-focused, health coaching model emphasizes observable actions and behaviors, not just adding more theory or knowledge.

Shimmer’s ADHD Coaching Program targets key dimensions essential for individuals with ADHD, based on our Shimmer ADHD Mastery Framework:

- Time: Handling the past, present, and future effectively
- Done: Starting, following through, and finishing tasks
- Pause: Managing emotions and maintaining balance

Our evidence-based coaching program was designed by leading ADHD experts from NYU, Mount Sinai, and other top academic and coaching institutions. Our ADHD coaches collaborate with you to co-design a personalized plan to help you reach your goals. Together, you'll experiment with strategies weekly, building a routine tailored to your needs.

Each coach-member partnership begins with vision and goal setting, followed by a weekly cycle of experimentation and reflection.

This process includes:
- Weekly coaching sessions with real-human guidance and accountability
- Guidance through the experimentation and reflection process to make changes in your life
- Access to community features and events like daily body doubling sessions
- Accountability tools built for ADHD brains

What kind of time commitment do I have to make?

Shimmer is designed to fit into your schedule — not the other way around. Your coach will design and schedule your tasks based on what's realistic for you and can make changes during the week to accommodate your busy life.

Can I use my HSA, FSA or HRA to expense Shimmer?

Yes you can! We are HSA/FSA/HRA-eligible.

This means if you have a Health Savings Account, Flexible Savings Account, or Health Reimbursement Arrangement with your employer, you can pay for Shimmer using your card from one of these accounts. You can also submit our invoices for reimbursement to your provider if you forget to use the card provided by them for your subscription.

Some providers may require you to submit a letter of necessity for this expense, please reach out to us at support@shimmer.care if you need any help with getting your subscription reimbursed by your HSA/FSA/HRA provider!

How do I become a Shimmer ADHD Coach?

We’re so glad you’re interested! We’re looking for licensed coaches (ICF or NBHWC preferred) or licensed mental health professionals (e.g., PhD, PsyD, LCSW, LMFT, etc.) specializing in ADHD. Shimmer coaches are passionate to help others, kind & empathetic, and most of us are living with ADHD ourselves.

If you're interested in joining the coaching team, check out this page, fill out the application, and we'll reach out if it good fit!

Can I reschedule or cancel a session?

We understand that life doesn't always go according to plan. Shimmer members can cancel or reschedule a coaching video call without penalty 24 hours in advance. If cancellation is within 24 hours, the session will be forfeited for the week. Thank you for your understanding!

Do you offer couples coaching or family coaching?

At this time, Shimmer only offers 1:1 individual coaching, but we are looking to expand our services in the future!
