Testimonials
From a 13-year-old
Student
Coaching has helped me so much! I am so grateful for Life Anchored Coaching. Since I have had coaching, I have improved in school and in other areas, such as having a healthier plan for eating, not procrastinating and having better coping strategies. I've also learned that life is SO much easier when you have a plan!
From a Parent Coaching Client
For many years, our family has been challenged to find the right help for our son who struggles with ADHD. The relationships in our home were very strained. As parents, we tried several counselors, read numerous books, and listened to countless podcasts. Jessel's Life Anchored Coaching is what we really needed; her parent coaching is the perfect combination of her personal experience and ADHD specific training. Her sessions, suggested reading material, and tools brought understanding and validation that made a a difference for us.
From a Parent of a
Teen Student
My son's coach was approachable; her demeanor and diligence with following up with my son on weekly goals, along with her guidance and encouragement, motivated my son to work towards completing the established goals, and helped us to improve our family communication skills. I am very thankful for her help.
From an Adult Client with ADHD
Before beginning sessions with Jessel, I believed that my personal and career goals were out of reach because of the limitations caused by my ADHD. Now, however, I am approaching my 40s with confidence, with purpose, with organization, and with more opportunities opening than I ever believed would be possible. Working with Jessel, the past eight months has been absolutely life-changing for me, and, subsequently, for my spouse and children. I am grafeful.
Consistently heard from parents during pre-screening calls:
I never knew ADHD/ Executive Function Coaching was a thing! I didn't even know this existed. I wish I knew about ADHD Coaching earlier. We tried everything for our child, but nothing has really worked. I'm so excited to know that my child can actually learn practical strategies.

From a Parent of a
College Student
My son’s first semester in college did not go well at all. Over winter break, we found Life Anchored Coaching. For the first time, my son had a Coach who encouraged him, helping him to organize and schedule his workload. He also learned effective study skills. He is doing so much better now and I am so appreciative!
From a Parent of a
Study Skills Workshop
Student
The session on note-taking had a dramatic impact on my 8th grader. The information was presented so engagingly; just the day after that session, I was encouraged to see my daughter employing the strategies she learned - without me prompting her!
From a Parent, After a
Pre-screening Call
Jessel,
Thank you so much for your time chatting yesterday morning on a pre-screening call. I have done a lot of “interviewing” on this topic on my daughter's behalf, and you take the cake. Empathy, personal experience, “clinical experience” - I could go on and on. I also have strong opinions about how different companies run the vetting process for pairing a student with a coach/tutor. The generosity with which you approach this honors the real challenge of helping children with EF/learning/brain chemistry challenges. Thank you.
From a Parent of
an 8-year-old
Since coaching, my daughter has felt joyful and empowered. When she is tempted to fight or complain, she remembers to 'use the wise part of her brain.' When she is anxious, she thinks, 'I will change my bad thoughts into good thoughts.' She has told us that meeting with her coach has really helped her. I am very thankful for her coach, for leading and teaching our daughter.
From a Highschooler taking the Study Skills Workshop
I have been taking the study skills workshop and I am already seeing a change in the way I am learning. I am taking better notes and I have been using the study tips I have been learning throughout the workshop. Thank you Life Anchored Coaching!
From a Parent re: The Complete ADHD Parent Guide & Toolkit
The Complete ADHD Parent Guide and Toolkit couldn’t have come at a better time because life has been hard juggling everything and I really needed this, not just for my boys but for me… I’m extremely impressed with this course. I can’t say enough good things about it. It’s so well done, professional and organized. I love all the content! It’s such a valuable resource!
From a Homeschooling Mom re: The Starter Kit
After watching the ADHD Success Starter Kit course, I was amazed by how much practical and helpful information it offers. As a homeschooling mom, I learned strategies that will truly help my children - especially with homework, like creating a homework priority list, an after-school schedule, and using a weekly task planner to compare how long they think assignments will take versus how long they actually take. These tools are helping them better visualize and manage their time so much better
From a Family Coaching Client
Jessel is professional, warm and is able to engage with family members of all ages and stages. She worked with my family on executive functioning skills and ADHD education. She teaches, she coaches, she mentors and she supports. She has made a tremendous impact on my family!
From Dr. Nisco

As a psychologist who administers ADHD evaluations, I often refer families to Jessel Newton and her team for follow-up care. They provide a personalized approach, practical strategies for daily challenges, and help each child build self-awareness and confidence in managing ADHD. Clients have reported that Jessel's coaching has made a real difference for both the child and the entire family.
