Executive functioning refers to the mental skills we use every day to manage time, stay organized, plan ahead, study for and take tests, and navigate challenges in life. At PFPA, we offer individualized executive functioning coaching for preteens, teens, college students, and adults. Our coaching services help clients build sustainable strategies for managing everyday tasks while also fostering self-awareness, independence, and emotional regulation.
