1-1 COACHING 
for AuDHDers

Audhd Ecosystem Design & Restoration

Together, we’ll come back to who you really are, then redesign your world to fit that person instead of the one you’ve been told to be.

Let’s re-align your life to your neurotype.

Once we discover that we’re both Autistic and ADHD, so many things about the past three, four, five decades of our lives make sense.

It feels like we’ve unlocked the key to everything.

But having the key isn’t enough.

We continue stumbling through the world, unsure how to use this knowledge to actually make our lives better.

The problem? We're trying to use this new key to make the same old life work better.

When actually, this key opens the door to an entirely different way of living.

Your brain is different. So why would we expect THE SAME OLD lifestyle, routines, and environments to work for you?

That’s where I come in.

I help late-diagnosed Autistic ADHD women & nonbinary folks redesign their entire life ecosystem to match their neurotype rather than fighting against it.

Unlike general Neurodivergent coaches who focus on strategies and accommodations within existing structures, I help you completely reimagine your life foundations - living arrangements, relationship dynamics, work structures, energy allocation…

The problem isn't you—it's trying to force yourself into structures that weren't built for your brain. Let's create ones that actually fit.

This isn't just coaching - it's liberation from neurotypical expectations and the creation of genuinely sustainable lives for people who've spent decades trying to fit into systems that were never designed for them.

How we’ll work together

I've designed my coaching practice to work WITH our AuDHD brains, not against them.

Your Consistent Time Slot

You'll have your own consistent biweekly Tuesday appointment that becomes part of your routine. This creates a predictable rhythm and eliminates the executive function load of scheduling.

Session Style That Honors Your Brain

Sessions last 45 minutes with optional camera use and freedom to stim, fidget, or move. I won't judge your organization systems, time perception, or energy levels. I understand shutdown, burnout, and overwhelm—we'll work with these, not pretend they don't exist.

Simple, Predictable Structure

One monthly payment covers your two sessions with automatic billing. Your dedicated time slot creates stability and predictability while reducing decision fatigue.

ND-Friendly Support Between Sessions

Light between-session support is available via email/Voxer. Integration time is important, and sometimes things come up in real life or it’s easier to communicate asynchronously. We’ll find our balance between honoring both of our rhythms and brains so you can ease your nervous system knowing you’re not alone.

“Adria gets my introvert nature and understands sensitive humans.

Adria encouraged me to be my authentic self and created a safe space to push myself with her loving and compassionate guidance.

I see my sensitivity and empath nature as a superpower rather than a weakness.”

Working Together


I've created simple ways for us to connect that honor your decision-making style:

Start With a Free Connection Call
(Recommended)

A casual 20-minute chat to see if we click. We'll talk about what you're looking for, I'll answer questions, and we'll both get a feel for whether working together makes sense.

No prep needed. No awkward sales pitch. Just two AuDHDers seeing if we're a good fit.

*Your application begins our conversation. I'll be in touch to continue it soon.*

CHOOSE YOUR PATH:

3-Session Starter ($400)

Most folks start here. It gives us time to:

  • Get past the first-session mask we all wear

  • See how we work together across different energy days

  • Start making progress on something real in your life

*Your application begins our conversation. I'll be in touch to continue it soon.*

Ongoing Coaching ($300/month)

For those who already know they want ongoing support:

  • Two 45-minute sessions a month

  • Support between sessions via email/Voxer

  • Simple monthly billing that happens automatically

  • Time together to make ripple effects & see real shifts

*Your application begins our conversation. I'll be in touch to continue it soon.*

Note: While most clients start with the free call then 3-session starter, you're welcome to dive straight into either option if that feels right for your brain. I'm here to support your journey, not add unnecessary steps.

AuDHD Support Reimagined

Traditional coaching tries to help you fit better into a world not designed for us. My approach turns that upside down.

Instead of teaching productivity hacks for distracting environments, we create spaces that match your brain's needs.

Rather than rehearsing social scripts to seem "normal," we identify where you can be your unmasked self.

(And when you’re more resourced, the outside world seems less noisy, anyways.)

Instead of treating your Autistic and ADHD traits separately, I’ll get curious about how they dance together, shaping both you and your life.

The key difference: I don't try to fix you to fit the world; I help you redesign your world to fit you.

The AuDHD Ecosystem Design Journey:

While I'm not a magician (you'll still be AuDHD), you'd be surprised at the effect small shifts over time can make in your life.

The goal isn't to become someone else. It's to create environments where being exactly who you are feels sustainable and alive, not exhausting.

  • Hypersensitivities to smell, sound, sight or temperature — that we're often conditioned to ignore from years of pushing through — can create major overwhelm, exhaustion and meltdowns. We'll uncover your unique sensory needs and boundaries.

  • Making changes to your home setup and having conversations with those you live with to renegotiate things that affect those sensory sensitivities. Small adjustments can dramatically reduce your daily friction and energy drains.

  • We're talking slow, sustainable restructuring. Some things will likely need to shift to relieve pressure and allow yourself space to rest. We'll restructure your life to support recovery…and to get out of the burnout cycle for good.

  • This might mean feeling more at ease with loved ones than you thought was possible, ending friendships that aren't healthy (giving you a f-ton of energy back) or basing household expectations on capacity & strengths rather than “equality.”

  • Work is rarely designed for our brains. We'll look at how you can contribute in ways that energize rather than drain you. This might mean adjusting your current role or schedule, working less by adjusting your expenses or finding a new path entirely. We'll also explore where you find genuine purpose and meaning—which doesn't always have to be tied to how you make money.

  • Ultimately creating an environment where you can thrive, not just survive means embracing a sometimes unconventional lifestyle. 

    It means letting go of what you think you're supposed to want or need and replacing it with what actually makes sense for you.

Hi, I’m Adria Sophia

(she/her), Autistic ADHDer, AuDHD Coach & host of the Quiet Messenger and AuDHD (mostly) Unscripted Podcasts.


I’ve spent over a decade helping hundreds of people design their life, work & leadership to support their unique brains & needs.

I help AuDHDers discover what they actually need — not what they've been told they should need (or shouldn't need). Together, we create environments and lifestyles that truly support those needs.

This isn't about learning to cope better in a world that wasn't designed for you. It's about redesigning your world to match your brain.

The result? You can finally unmask, break free from endless burnout cycles, and experience what it feels like to live as your authentic neurodivergent self. Not as an exhausted person trying to pass as neurotypical.

How do you know if you’ve landed in the right place?

You’re looking for:

  • A coach who is also Autistic + ADHD and has walked the path before you.

  • Someone who truly gets it without needing to be educated or accidentally dismissing your experiences.

  • Someone who doesn’t underestimate you, who doesn’t reset to square one, but instead acknowledges your journey and builds from there.

  • A partner — someone to hold space while you figure out where you’re going.

  • A sounding board who listens as you process and a co-creator who helps build your path forward.

 Common Questions

  • I believe in thoughtfully beginning our work together right from the first interaction.

    1️⃣ Your Application - This short form helps me understand where you're at and what you're seeking. This isn't about "qualifying" you, but about making sure I can truly serve your needs.

    2️⃣Connection Conversation - If it feels like we might be a good fit, I'll invite you to a free 20-minute call with just enough structure that you can relax but enough fluidity that we can feel things out and see if we're aligned.

    3️⃣ Your Path Forward - Based on our conversation, you might choose the 3-Session Starter, ongoing support, or decide we're not the right match - all perfectly acceptible outcomes! There's zero pressure to continue.

    I value each person who reaches out and replying to you is important to me. Since I also have an AuDHD brain, if you haven't heard back within a week, feel free to send a gentle reminder. :)

  • I review applications according to my energy and capacity, giving each one my full attention rather than rushing through them. This thoughtful approach means I don't promise specific timeframes, though I typically respond within a week.

    If you're in an urgent situation requiring immediate next-day support, I might not be the right fit right now - and that's okay! Your wellbeing matters most, and sometimes that means finding someone who can meet you exactly where you are, when you need it.

    If you haven't heard back after a week, please do send a gentle nudge - sometimes the digital gremlins eat important messages!

  • Clients describe my energy as grounding with an open, judgment-free ear. I blend compassionate support with practical clarity—helping normalize things you feel shame around while breaking down complicated situations into simple steps. I'm not a hardass buttkicker, but I will ask questions that help you see things differently.

  • Most clients work with me for at least 3-6 months, with many continuing longer as we address different areas of their ecosystem.

    Here's the thing — we're not trying to be fast and furious here. As Autistic ADHDers, we need processing time. Integration time is important.

    So yes, we're going to change things. And it’s helpful to have the space to do that properly.

    This intentional slowness is actually supportive for our neurotype. It gives your nervous system the chance to adjust without constant pressure to "hurry up and transform already."

    The biweekly session format means you can work with me for exactly the length of time that serves you - whether that's a 3-month focused period or ongoing support. No arbitrary end dates or pressure to "graduate" before you're ready.

    Many clients tell me this permission to go at their actual pace feels like the first deep breath they've taken in years.

  • When will our coaching calls take place?

    Currently, all coaching sessions happen on Tuesdays between 10am-3pm Pacific time.

    Instead of flexible scheduling (which can create decision fatigue for our neurodivergent brains), I use a dedicated time slot system. This means you'll have your very own regular appointment time (such as "Every other Tuesday at 1 pm") that remains consistent throughout our work together, unless we decide to shift it.

    This predictable rhythm creates several benefits:

    • Eliminates the executive function load of booking each session

    • Builds coaching naturally into your routine

    • Gives your brain one less thing to track and manage

    • Allows me to fully prepare for YOUR specific needs before we meet

    Many clients tell me they actually prefer this structured approach once they try it!

  • Your investment for ongoing coaching is $300/month, which includes two 45-minute sessions spaced every other Tuesday.

    Payment is automatically billed each month to make it easy on both our executive functioning.

    In some months (typically 4 per year), the calendar gives us three session dates. In months with three Tuesdays (approximately 4 times per year), you may:

    • Use the bonus week as extra integration time between our regular sessions, or

    • Schedule a third session for an additional $150.

    This flexible structure honors both our needs for consistency while adapting to the natural rhythm of the calendar.

  • Traditional ADHD coaching typically focuses on productivity strategies, time management, and organization "hacks" to help you function better within existing systems. Meanwhile, conventional Autism coaching often emphasizes social skills, sensory accommodations, and coping mechanisms for navigating neurotypical environments.

    My approach is fundamentally different because:

    - Instead of teaching you productivity tricks to manage distractions in an open office, we explore creating environments that actually match your sensory and focus needs

    - Rather than drilling social scripts to appear more neurotypical, we identify the relationships where you can be your unmasked self and minimize draining social obligations

    - Instead of implementing rigid scheduling systems, we create flexible structures that honor your natural energy patterns and executive functioning style

    - Rather than treating your Autistic and ADHD traits as separate challenges, we recognize how they interact uniquely in your brain and life

    - Instead of helping you "manage" your sensory sensitivities, we redesign your physical spaces to reduce or eliminate those triggers altogether

    The key difference: I don't try to fix you to fit the world; I help you redesign your world to fit you. This is especially important for AuDHDers, as the intersection of Autism and ADHD creates unique experiences that single-focus coaching often misses.

    When you're both Autistic AND have ADHD, you need an approach that understands how these neurotypes interact—like how your ADHD might drive you into situations that overwhelm your Autistic sensitivities, or how your Autistic need for routine conflicts with ADHD's need for novelty. My ecosystem design approach addresses these intersections directly.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  • As a coach, I focus on present challenges and future possibilities rather than processing past trauma. Many clients work with both a therapist and a coach simultaneously. If I believe you would benefit from therapy, I'll suggest that as a complement to our work together.

  • For Planned Schedule Changes:

    • Please give at least 24 hours notice — a week is even better.

    • For cancellations with more than 24 hours notice, we'll typically shift to asynchronous support via email or voice messages that week.

    • If you need to cancel with less than 24 hours notice, the session will count as used, as I've reserved that specific time for you.

    When You're Having a Hard Day:

    As AuDHDers, we both know energy and capacity can fluctuate - some days are harder than others. If you're struggling on the day of our session, you have these options:

    Option 1: Come to our session as you are.

    • Camera off is completely fine.

    • Join from your comfort space (under blankets, dark room, etc.).

    • No need to mask or perform - just be present however you can be.

    Option 2: Switch to asynchronous support.

    • Message me "Today is hard - switch to messages please" (at least 30 min before, if possible).

    • I'll send supportive messages during our scheduled time instead.

    • No call needed - we'll communicate through text/voice messages.

    Option 3: Take the space you need.

    • Message me "Need space today - no session please" (at least 30 min before, if possible).

    • We'll reconnect when you're ready.

    • No pressure to explain or justify.

    No explanation needed beyond these simple messages - I'll follow your lead with understanding. This approach gives you flexible support while avoiding complicated rescheduling.

    If I Need to Reschedule:

    • For planned changes: I'll try to give you a couple weeks notice and offer either more concentrated asynchronous support or an alternative time.

    • For unexpected situations: I'll communicate as early as possible and likely offer deeper asynchronous support for that week.

    • For pattern disruptions (like changing your regular timeslot): I'll discuss options with you well in advance so we can find a solution that works for both of us.

  • Continuing, Pausing or Ending Our Work Together

    Our coaching partnership is designed to be flexible to your needs:

    For the 3-Session Starter

    • The 3-Session Starter is designed as an introduction to our work together, not as a complete coaching journey.

    • Most clients naturally continue beyond these initial sessions as we've just begun to establish momentum.

    • As we approach our third session, I'll send a simple email asking if you'd like to continue with ongoing biweekly coaching. 

    • You can respond with your decision via email - no need for a separate conversation. 

    • If you choose to continue, I'll confirm the transition to monthly billing and share any additional resources for our deeper work together. 

    • If you decide we're not the right fit (absolutely no judgement, pressure or obligation to continue), we'll use our final session to create closure and celebrate any initial progress.

    For Ongoing Coaching

    Completing or Pausing Our Work Together

    Our coaching relationship deserves an intentional conclusion or transition, whether temporary or permanent.

    If you're feeling complete with our work:

    • Please let me know at least one month before you'd like to conclude.

    • This allows us to plan for 1-2 final sessions focused on celebrating your growth, integrating what you've learned, and creating a sustainable path forward.

    • This thoughtful completion honors both our nervous systems & our work together and allows us to complete with appreciation rather than an abrupt ending.

    If you need to pause our work:

    • Please let me know at least one month in advance, when possible.

    • We'll use our last session before the pause to create intentional closure and a transition plan.

    • We'll agree on a check-in date (up to 3 months out).

    • During a pause, your regular time slot will be released, and billing will be suspended.

    • To resume, we'll schedule new sessions based on my availability at that time.

    If we haven't reconnected by our agreed check-in date, I'll reach out once to see if you'd like to resume. If I don't hear back, I'll consider our coaching relationship complete.

    For unexpected emergencies requiring an immediate pause, please let me know as soon as possible, and we'll adjust accordingly.

    If We’re Not the Right Fit

    I understand that coaching relationships aren't always the right fit. If you feel that's the case: 

    • Simply let me know - no judgment, no questions asked. 

    • If you have remaining pre-paid sessions, you can either complete these sessions as scheduled, or choose to end immediately.

  • Self-identification is valid! Many AuDHDers, especially women and non-binary folks, face significant barriers to formal diagnosis. If you strongly identify with Autistic and ADHD traits, you're welcome here.
