Notice to Clients and Prospective Clients

Under the law, health care providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or who
are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including
psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any nonemergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith
Estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during treatment.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute
the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, or how to
dispute a bill, see your Estimate, or visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

Executive Functioning (EF) is a broad term that covers all the skills and strategies that allow you to choose and control your own behavior.  To put it another way:

Executive functioning is what allows you to take any idea, desire or decision in your head and actually do something to bring it into reality.

An Executive Functioning Coach is an expert whose job is three-fold.  

First, your EF Coach helps you gain an awareness of your current Executive Functioning.  They help you learn how you work and why you’ve been struggling with some things and succeeding with others.

Second, your EF Coach helps you gain an awareness of what is required to accomplish the things you want to accomplish and they help you develop the systems, structures, and supports you need in order to bridge the gap between what you are capable of naturally and what it is that you are trying to do.

Third, your EF Coach helps you develop your Executive Functioning.  Your ability to choose and control your own behavior will grow over time as you strengthen your cognitive Executive Functioning skills.  As you grow, you’ll need less and less time, energy, and support to accomplish the things you want to accomplish.
