The Science Behind Shimmer
The Shimmer ADHD Coaching Program was created by the leading experts in ADHD, coaching & behavioral health. Our Care Design Team has PhDs and masters degrees in psychology, neuroscience and public health. And quite importantly, they have ADHD themselves.
The Program stands on the shoulders of giants of helping professions and incorporates interventions from the latest research in coaching & positive psychology, behavioral sciences, and health psychology. With love, we’ve extracted insights from these disciplines to the adult ADHD experience.

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
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.
