Words cannot express how much you have done for my son and our family. We are so grateful to have found you and to be the beneficiary of your expertise.

— parents of 6th grader

Thanks for making this such a smooth process to get started. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten through all the steps of researching and getting up the courage to contact a therapist only to never hear back from them. You obviously already have things set up to make it easy for ADHD brains like mine!

— adult client

Our son is energized and excited about being more organized. Last night, he told me, “I want to get ready for tomorrow” and pulled out his assignment notebook. 🙂  We just have to say THANK YOU! 

— parents of 10th grader

I just watched my son offer instruction to his younger brother on how to study for a test. “Read the chapter. Pay attention to the main words. Don’t forget the small questions on the side of the page. I’ll quiz you later to review together.” This was after he’d started his own science homework on the bus… for an assignment that isn’t due until Friday!!

— mom of 8th grader

Maggie is amazing! She is innovative, patient, and a wonderful resource. It’s like having a “human book” come to my house once a week to help me learn strategies and parenting tips. Nothing is rote or from a manual. Maggie IS the manual which is why she’s the “whisperer.”

— mom of 7th and 11th graders

After years of struggling with time management (and frustrating myself and my husband), I finally decided to seek out executive functioning help. I’m so happy I did. Each session has been packed with lessons and approaches that have made me more self aware. I’ve learned specific and very helpful tools on how to manage my workload and time. 

— adult client

Maggie is an expert in her field with a rich understanding of behavior. She is perceptive, calming and encouraging. She has a gift where she can speak with anyone: from elementary students to adults.

— mom of 4th and 6th graders

I would highly recommend Maggie. She’s a lifesaver if you feel you are getting overwhelmed and need support. Maggie has helped us, with NO judgment, while alleviating so much stress from my everyday life. 

— mom of 7th and 9th graders

NSEF has been working with our son for the last five or six weeks, and we couldn’t be happier with the energy and positive attitude our son’s coach brings to each session. He has a great way of connecting in a supportive way, while still holding our son accountable to his end of the bargain.

— dad of 10th grader

I couldn’t be happier with where I am right now.  While our time has come to an end, I know I will keep utilizing the tools my coach gave me. These strategies, and my coach’s confidence in my ability, have set me up for success. Thank you for making such a difference in my life!

— adult client

I found NSEF through a parent group recommendation. I called because our daughter has always been strong academically, but my husband and I were increasingly concerned that she’d never learned to effectively manage her time. After just one summer of EF coaching, our daughter now feels like she has a good handle on things. 

— mom of 12th grader

My son turned to us after dinner tonight to say, ‘”I´d like to get started on my science because I don’t want it to build up. In fact, it kinda already has.” Clearly, something has sunk in from today’s coaching session, and he’s trying to put the skills you’re offering him to use!

— mom of 9th grader

I was a 45 year old who couldn’t regulate myself, complete projects, take care of my home, or be an efficient wife and mother. The older I got, the harder it was for me to do basic tasks. I allowed myself not to do things that would take too long or involve multiple steps. What I believed was self compassion, caused terrible habits. My coach helped me decipher which tasks needed immediate help, which tasks could be put off, and which I could delegate. I now feel like I am a more efficient wife and mother – which was my goal!

— adult client

Our daughter has been doing GREAT, very focused on completing her work and even finishing some things early! She just completed her Othello essay using the plan you came up with together. I haven’t seen her like this for a few years!

— mom of 12th grader

Our daughter has been doing so well in the short time you’ve been working together that she’s even been stating the advantages of executive functioning coaching to her sister – which got me thinking that our other daughter could also use your company’s help. Our eldest has got some things going on, the latest of which may be missing the Fall class registration window, despite me asking her at least 4 times to check on the dates (aahhhh!) You’ve been such a help with [our younger daughter]. Do you have space to help our older daughter, too?

— mom of 12th grader and 3rd year college student

After only 10 sessions, I feel like my life has been transformed. I no longer procrastinate on starting tasks. I now complete the tasks I start. If I need a break to re-energize, I take it, and then get back to work.  

— adult client

I was thrilled with the EF coaching offered by your company and I’d love to be a reference anytime! You guys are the real deal! 

— mom of 10th grader

Our daughter is off to a great start in school. You have given her wonderful tools and ideas to work with, and she has been sharing them with us so that we can support her better. 

— mom of 12th grader

I started off with a ton of self-doubt. I am a perfectionist and struggle with finding the perfect ways to say and do things. EF coaching got me to overcome my need to be perfect and got me to take action.

— college student

Our daughter really likes working with her coach. My husband and I are so impressed by how she’s keeping our daughter accountable while also encouraging her and giving her the tools to help her succeed.

— parents of 9th grader

The coaching process has been amazing, and our son feels like his increased success has everything to do with his EF coach. Our son’s coach has surpassed expectations – anticipating when he might need a little extra contact and making himself available to book extra sessions, as needed. He has attended not only to his academic needs, but also made sure our son was doing what he needed to health-wise and socially.   

— parents of 1st year college student

Coaching helped me push past my fears to change my mindset. I was able to go from feeling like I was going to throw up to walking into interviews smiling. I no longer felt ill-prepared or overwhelmed by the weight of it all. I started getting call-backs which gave me more confidence in the work we were doing. After a couple months of working with my coach, I was able to land my dream job as a project manager making $20k more than in my previous role. It was such an achievement for me, and I am so thankful that I invested in myself by working with NSEF. 

— adult client

My husband and I feel you are a true partner with us in supporting our daughter… Thank you! Wish we had known you for our older two kids! 🙂

— parents of 9th grader

I asked my son yesterday if he thinks EF coaching has been helpful. “Yes!”, and he clearly named two things : 1) the activity organizer, which he said has “definitely helped with time management” and 2) the quality time his coach spends with him. He appreciates her “not just diving into it,” but taking time together talking each session and really checking in on how he’s doing.

— mom of 8th grader

It took such a big stress off me to know NSEF was there for our family. I was confident that my son’s coach was giving him the support and tools he needed so I could disengage (with our coach’s guidance) and let my son take responsibility. 

– mom of 12th grader

The coach email summaries after each session were incredibly helpful and kept us informed so we could just stay in the background.

– parents of 11th grader

I appreciate all you have done to help my son. He is doing beautifully in school, and I know that your guidance in terms of organization, scheduling, budgeting time, and study skills have enabled him to succeed. He has greatly benefitted from your work together!

 — mom of 1st year college student

My son adores his coach. He’s gained so many tips and strategies. Thank you!

— Mom of 4th grader

NSEF was recommended to me by my therapist, who diagnosed me with ADHD. Whenever I had to use my executive function skills, I became overwhelmed and shut down. This prevented me from showing up for myself and others. Through coaching, I am more present in my life. I now don’t have all the racing thoughts in my head about what “needs to be done.”

— adult client

The difference in how the past few academic quarters have felt compared to the entirety of my previous school experience has been night and day. I feel like I have the tools and skills to keep progressing. I can’t thank you enough. You have been such a helpful resource.

— college student

What a relief it was to no longer be my son’s “homework police,” and instead return to being a mom knowing that he had the right support in place to do what he needed to do.

– mom of 10th grader

My time with NSEF was transformative. I had done therapy before and always found a disconnect with therapists who didn’t share my life experience. My coach at NSEF blew me away with her ability to find simple ways for me to improve my work life. After a month, I noticed a difference. I was able to put suggestions into practice and make strides. After another month, I realized I was no longer defeated and could look forward to the future with confidence that I’d reach my goals.

— adult client

Thank you for helping our daughter! I have seen HUGE changes! The “old” her seems to be back and happy to get her stuff done. I will not hesitate to sign up again for coaching again if it looks like we need additional support in the future.

— mom of 8th grader

We were thrilled with EF coaching with your company!! I tell all my friends about NSEF. I’d love to be a personal reference anytime for anyone who wants to know about coaching.

— mom of a 2nd year college student

I want to personally thank you for your understanding and flexibility in helping our family. Our daughter’s coach was excellent and able to connect with her right away. We’ve both really seen the benefits in the skills and tools you offer.

— dad of 9th grader

I now have an inner dialogue when I get sidetracked which helps me stay on track and stay on time.

— college student

Our son is much better at taking charge of his schedule, planning for assignments, and getting his work done on time. He’s looking forward to working with NSEF again next semester. His twin brother would also like to get started working with a coach from your team, if you have space.

— parents of 1st year college student

We appreciate all the care and energy you’ve put into working with our family. You’ve given our son skills he will continue to use for many years— and I’ve learned quite a few things, as well!

— Mom of 9th Grader

We’ve seen big differences in how our son is tracking reminders, using his calendar, and thinking about his work. He even proactively straightens up his room now. We still can’t believe it!

— parents of 9th grader

I wholeheartedly recommend NSEF for people looking for change with organizing, managing, and completing tasks. You will learn an amazing amount.

— adult client

We are all so happy that life is getting back to normal. Our coach has been a fantastic fit and offered tools on how to make things less stressful. It’s really helped hearing it from someone other than mom and dad. Thank you for all of your help!

— mom of 12th grader

NSEF has been amazing for my son. His teachers have raved about his improvement. He’s doing so well that it’s inspired me to reach out and ask if I can also start up with coaching. 

— mom of a 9th grader (and soon-to-be EF coaching client herself!)

I just wanted to let you know that our first coaching session was wonderful. Our daughter really seemed thrilled with how it went and was so impressed by the match. I think this is exactly the sort of coach she needs to work on her areas of challenge and build confidence in her ability to perform her best and be successful. Thank you so much!!

— mom of 12th grader

My coaching sessions were catered specifically to what I needed help with, not just what works for others. I could talk with my coach about MY specific tasks that I needed help with and she would work through targeted ways I could address the things that were often too hard for me to complete on my own.

— adult client

Our daughter just finished her first ten coaching sessions and loved them. She is energized and empowered! I’d now like to do the same for her brother so that he has a toolbox to hit the ground running in high school.

— mom of 8th grader

Maggie’s coaching is tailored exactly to the issues my child is dealing with and she listens with suggestions on things I’m not sure how to handle. I practice the advice she gives me, and I now see various situations through a different lens than I did before finding Maggie.

— mom of 9th grader

What a change this quarter! I now get updates as her teachers enter grades and our daughter is doing great. She has been making good use of her study halls and getting a good amount of work done at school. Thank you! We appreciate your help so very much!

— mom of 12th grader

Working with NSEF gave me the confidence and support to experiment with new methods, along with the tools to make my day-to-day life feel more manageable.” 

— 3rd year college student

Our daughter is very proud of how she’s doing right now. She’s more organized and disciplined. 

— mom of 12th grader

EF coaching has been the best investment I’ve made in many years. I highly recommend NSEF to anyone who wants to have a more fulfilled, efficient, and smooth life.

— adult client

We can not say enough about how valuable your team’s coaching has been to help our daughter learn strategies and gain skills. We so appreciate your expertise and the relationship our coach built with our daughter. Thank you!

— family with an 11th grader

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the care that’s gone into the matching process. I have had a great experience here so far. I’m so glad I chose NSEF!

— college student

Just wanted to send a quick note with our highest praise. Our daughter was really burnt out and possibly depressed at the end of the semester. EF coaching offered the perfect support. Our daughter has loved working with NSEF, and her coach did a great job of keeping us informed as parents when necessary without breaking any confidence. We are grateful for your help. Thanks for the great match.

— Parents of 1st year college student 

We are so grateful to have found you! Since our son’s anxiety is related to school performance, we knew what we needed wasn’t from a therapist or social worker – but we had no idea where to look until we found NSEF.

— mom of 8th grader

Maggie is hands down one of the most insightful, caring, and fair-minded counselors I have worked with. I walk away from our sessions inspired and more prepared to act on those energized emotions. Thank you for being so wise and so open-hearted with me. What a gift you are!

— adult client

Our daughter has voiced how much what she’s learned from her sessions has helped her this semester, and I’ve seen her confidence grow tremendously! Do you think you could work with our older college-age daughter, too? I’m grateful for all that you do.

— Mom of 11th grader

We love the strategies you’ve taught our son on how to handle problems he gets “stuck” on as this is where he often breaks down, messes up, and really gets frustrated. This process is just what we were looking for!”

— mom of 8th grader

Our son’s grades this semester went from Fs to A, A-, and two B+. I want to thank you for all of your help, especially how you kept moving him along and always encouraged him. We watched him build the skills to get going and work through the occasional bump in the road. He is so, justifiably, proud. Thank you!

— mom of a 2nd year college student

We are so appreciative of everything you have done to help our daughter become more independent. We can see she is ready to operate on her own after these sessions. Thank you so much! NSEF has been awesome!!

— mom of 9th grader

Coaching with NSEF was absolutely fantastic. Our coach helped my son to develop effective strategies for building better time management, avoiding procrastination, and overcoming perfectionism.

— Mom of Recent College Graduate

Thank you for your patience with my son. I know it is not always easy. He’s learned a lot from you, and I appreciate your time with him! You are AMAZING!

— mom of 10th grader

My coach provided a good listening ear and made me feel validated while also encouraging me.”

 — 3rd year college student

NSEF helped me gain confidence and set structure to make big tasks feel more manageable.” 

— Adult client

Although our son was only in elementary school when he started coaching, we saw significant growth in his EF skills working with NSEF.  

— mom of a 4th grader

From our first session, my coach simplified important life skills and helped me with organization, time management, and task initiation. Her tools and guidance have helped me follow through on tasks that matter most to me. 

— Adult client

As he gets older, we’re trying to encourage our teen to trust his own instincts and make decisions that feel right for him. Your guidance has meant more than you know.  Thank you again for all the time, care, and expertise you’ve given our family. 

— parents of an 11th grader

Whether I’m making decisions about my business or thinking about life goals, my EF coach helped me stay grounded and clear on what I want and how to get there. Their expertise, empathy, practical strategies, and encouragement have empowered me to embrace my strengths and build sustainable systems that support my professional and personal success.

 — Adult client

 We really value the regular check-ins, along with the pointed guidance and support. This is what’s helped make it possible to give our teen room to practice independence.

— parents of a 9th grader

For the first time, I really feel seen, understood and capable of achieving my goals. I credit EF coaching with this boost in confidence and highly recommend to anyone looking to manage neurodiversity.

— Adult client

Our coach was instrumental in helping our teen get into their top choice school. We always knew our child was smart, but the overwhelm was drowning them. When we came to coaching, our teen couldn’t self-regulate enough to focus. Now, they’re living independently in an out-of-state college and thriving!

— Mom of a 1st year college student 

We feel so fortunate to have been matched with NSEF. From the very beginning, our son’s coach was warm, caring, and patient. Her dedication to our son’s well-being only grew over time. We are so incredibly grateful!

— mom of a 6th grader

My coach was flexible in her approach, and crafted ways for me to feel more targeted, organized, and successful. She’s helped me learn long-term skills that I still use to this day! I can’t recommend her enough!”

— Adult client

Our son’s coach was a trusted member of our team — capable, passionate, and dedicated — helping us navigate complex issues with the school, guiding us on how to ask for and obtain an IEP for him, and so much more! 

— mom of an 8th grader

It’s been a pleasure working with NSEF. I appreciated my coach’s approach— great listener with fantastic advice. I feel like our two months of working together have made a difference in my daily routines, and I now feel energized going into each morning. 

— Adult client

I cannot express to you how incredibly well our son has entered back into sophomore year! The changes I have seen in his organization, drive, and engagement have been remarkable. I can’t thank you enough for all of the tools and guidance you have given him!

— mom of a 2nd year college student 

Going into sessions, I felt very stuck. My coach was able to deconstruct my academic stressors into emotional, practical, and habitual milestones for improvement. Many of these skills, particularly with assessing stakes and mitigating stress, have stuck with me two years later. 

— Adult client

Our son started the school year with six AP classes and the kind of ambition that can so easily tip into overwhelm. The tools and strategies you gave him helped him find real footing, and we’re deeply grateful for the calm and clarity you fostered during an extremely demanding and busy period. 

— parents of an 11th grader

What’s been especially encouraging is watching how much our son has grown in confidence. He’s organizing himself well, staying on top of his work load (no more all nighters to complete papers!), and understanding the subject matter — as evidenced by his improved grades. Thank you for your help!  

— mom of a 10th grader

Like most teenagers, our son’s drive for independence and autonomy is very strong. You offered him structure, steadiness, and a system he could implement to manage his course load. 

— mom of a 12th grader

Thanks to coaching I have gained a greater understanding of how to operate and thrive with ADHD.

— Adult client

As well as improved grades, our son has made true progress on time management and homework completion. He’s now managing his schoolwork and sports schedule better than we could have imagined! 

— mom of a 12th grader

Working with NSEF has truly made a difference in my life. I’ve struggled to manage my ADHD for years. NSEF helped rewrite that narrative within weeks. 

— Adult client

We cannot recommend NSEF enough! Our son’s schedule is overwhelming, but EF coaching helped him to organize To Do lists, break down complex tasks, and give actionable tools that actually stick. Working with NSEF has been very helpful for our son’s productivity with advice on how to improve his short term memory and practical tips on how to avoid burnout. 

— Mom of a 12th grader

I haven’t been sure how to put into words how thankful I am that I got to work with NSEF. While I miss you and our weekly sessions a lot, you’ll be happy to hear that I still keep weekly meetings with myself and I use the tools I learned to refine how I structure and regulate my life.

— college student

I’ve genuinely valued not only the coaching sessions, but also my coach’s style — it’s incredibly supportive and has helped me move forward in meaningful ways. — adult client

— parents of an 11th grader

The skills you taught me have not only transformed my career, but also how I take care of myself as a young adult. I am always raving to everyone who asks, “How are you so on top of everything?” that it’s thanks to executive functioning coaching! This really is life-changing work!
— adult client

I wanted to reach out with an update a year after our work together: I got promoted to working as Director of Operations at the theater, and I have gotten some producing credits in, as well. I started submitting my writing to competitions in the last 8 months or so, and I finished my most recent marathon this spring with a new PR! All goals that I built a foundation for while working with you. Thank you a million times over.
— college student

This year has brought significant professional challenges, and I’m truly grateful for your support as I navigated all of it. Your creativity and encouragement have helped me develop not only new EF tools, but also gain confidence in myself and my abilities.
— adult client

This experience has truly been life-changing. I’ll reach back out if I need to recalibrate as life continues to evolve, but as I head into the back-to-school season, I’m feeling more confident and well-prepared than ever. Thank you!
— college student

There are so many brilliant creatives, particularly in entertainment, who could benefit from coaching. It is freeing as a creative to finally have enough structure in place to allow for flow in everything else! I truly am beyond grateful to the entire team at NSEF for your support.
— Adult client

Our coach’s guidance has been such a gift. NSEF has a keen understanding of the root causes of various challenges and coaching was so caring and supportive. I cannot recommend it highly enough!”
— Mom of Recent College Graduate

I’ve truly enjoyed my executive coaching sessions. They’ve helped me so much mentally, in building my confidence, and also in feeling like I’m finally on the right track. I’m grateful for the support and guidance you’ve provided. — adult client

In the last 3 months, we’ve noticed a HUGE change in our son’s attitude towards school and his comprehension of his challenges. He is able to reflect when things don’t go exactly as planned, though things are going as planned much more often! 🙂
— Mom of 9th Grader

I came to coaching after I was told that I would not be promoted to a management role because I lacked EF skills. I spent a long time Googling and taking classes my company provided on executive functions. Yet, I still had no idea how to get the skills I was lacking. This led me to NSEF. After one month of coaching, I was able to do things I had put off for years. For instance, I had been avoiding making a decision on life insurance and with the help of my coach, I was able to get in the mindset I needed to make a calculated decision for my future.
