> what specifically, or HOW specifically is your therapy different than the therapists I have already spent $$$$ on?

First I want to re-clarify that we are not providing therapy. We providing coaching services for ADHD-related symptoms and skills (like executive function). However, coaching (along with therapy) definitely does not cure ADHD, as ADHD is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition.

Answering your question directly, our approach is rooted in Health & Wellness coaching, and incorporates large amounts of positive psychology and behavioral change science. The way Shimmer works is that you pair up with an ADHD coach and each week you declare 1 focus area (2 or 3 if you're feeling ambitious) that you're going to work on. It could be implementing a habit or system, or practicing a skill. Throughout the week, your coach helps you fight fires if something comes up.

Specifically re: Therapy, it's different in that it's focused on the daily actions and routines/habits you will try out and implement. It will require significant effort or at least commitment on the member's part as well, as our coaches cannot make the changes for them.

Really appreciate your question, and thank you for your patience as we work through these comments.
