Who is private coaching for?
Private coaching meets you wherever you are. You don't need a diagnosis to benefit, and you don't need any agency process to begin. Find yourself below.
Parents of Teens
Coaching helps your teen build their own systems for organization, follow-through, and independence, the kind that stick because they own them. As that takes hold, the evening homework routine needs less from you, and home gets calmer.
College Students & Young Adults
School’s ending and the road ahead feels foggy. We help you find direction, build habits that hold under pressure, and take confident next steps toward work, study, and independent living.
Working Adults & Career Changers
Burned out, ready for a change, or working twice as hard to keep up? Coaching helps you find a path that fits how you actually work, backed by neurodivergent-affirming support throughout.
At a Crossroads
Between jobs, heading back to work after time away, or at a point where the old plan just doesn’t fit anymore. Coaching helps you find your footing, get clear on a direction, and build the structure to act on it, at a pace that works for you.
What can private coaching help with?
Most people come to us with one thing they want to change, and it usually touches a couple of others. You don't have to sort yourself into a category, and plenty of people work across more than one of these at once. Here's the range coaching tends to cover, and we start wherever you want to start.
Organization, time, and follow-through
Executive function and life-skills coaching
When planning, time, and follow-through don’t come easily, everyday tasks take more out of you than they should. None of this is about trying harder. It’s about building tools and routines that fit you, so following through gets easier.
Coaching here often focuses on:
- Time management, planning, and getting started on tasks you keep putting off
- Organization systems for your space, your schedule, and the things you lose track of
- Breaking big goals into small, doable steps so they actually get done
- Building routines and habits that hold up when life gets busy
- Managing focus, distraction, and the emotions that derail your best plans
Finding direction and thriving at work
Career and workplace coaching
Whether you’re choosing a direction, in the middle of a job search, or trying to find your footing in a role you already have, coaching helps you get clear on what you want and build a realistic plan to get there. The approach is neurodivergent-affirming throughout, built around your strengths and how you work best.
This might include:
- Getting clear on your strengths, your interests, and what a good fit looks like for you
- Job-search strategy, networking, and applications that don’t burn you out
- Interview preparation and confidence, including mock interviews
- A résumé and other materials that tell your story well
- Settling into a new role: workload, communicating with your manager, and decisions about disclosure
Connecting and self-advocacy
Social and communication coaching
Relationships and communication shape almost everything, at work, at school, and at home. When social settings leave you drained, or when the unwritten rules feel like they were written for someone else, coaching gives you practical, respectful tools to connect on your own terms and ask for what you need.
This often looks like:
- Approaching conversations and social settings in ways that work for you, and deciding when and how much you want to adapt to a given setting
- Workplace communication: meetings, email, feedback, and the conversations that feel hard
- Self-advocacy, asking for what you need and setting boundaries clearly and kindly
- Building and keeping the relationships that matter to you
- Managing the energy that social settings take, at work, at school, and in daily life
How does private coaching work?
Private coaching starts with a conversation, not a contract. Here is the path most people follow with us.
Free fit consult
A relaxed 20–30 minute call to learn what you want to change, answer questions, and help you check whether a funded program might cover what you need first. No cost, no commitment.
Your personalized plan
Choose where to start, set a cadence, define what success looks like, and get matched with the right coach.
Coaching, with support between sessions
Steady one-on-one sessions plus included email and text support between meetings, the part that makes new habits stick.
Review and renew
At natural checkpoints we review progress and decide together: wrap up, renew, or shift to a lighter rhythm. You stay in control.
This is coaching, not therapy and not another class. We don't diagnose or treat, and we're glad to refer you to a licensed provider if you need documentation or clinical support. Before we begin, you'll receive a simple written coaching agreement covering scope, fees, and confidentiality.
How private coaching is funded
Private coaching at Lincoln Square Coaching is self and family funded, paid directly by you. It’s separate from the free, government-funded services we provide through ACCES-VR in New York, and it isn’t billed to insurance. Here’s the part worth knowing: some of what we offer privately may be available to you at no cost if you qualify. Employment-related job coaching, or communication and social-skills coaching for work or school, can often be funded through ACCES-VR, and if a funded program might cover what you need, we’ll help you find that route first. Eligibility is determined by the agency, not by us.
Choosing to pay is always a choice, and it never gets you faster or better access than the funded route. Private coaching is simply here for people who don’t qualify, want support beyond what those programs cover, or prefer to work with us directly. Same care, same team, a different door in.
What does private coaching cost?
We keep money talk simple and honest. Your free consult always comes first, so the first number you see is $0. From there, the per-session cost goes down the more you commit, and the support between sessions is built into every option.
Free Fit Consult
$0
20–30 minutes
Get to know us, ask anything, and find out if a funded route fits first. The entry point for everyone.
Single Session
$150
50–60 minutes
One focused session. Best for a one-time tune-up or re-engaging later.
Multi-session packages
For ongoing work, we offer multi-session packages that bring the per-session cost below the single-session rate and include the same email and text support between sessions. The right fit depends on your goals and how often you want to meet, so we set it together during your free consult. A limited number of reduced-rate spots are available.
Private coaching is self and family funded and isn’t billed to insurance. In some cases, when coaching is tied to a medical diagnosis and coordinated with a licensed provider, an HSA or FSA may apply, though we can’t guarantee reimbursement.
Refund & cancellation: All sessions are prepaid and non-refundable, but you never lose their value. Any session you don’t use is held as a credit toward future coaching (valid 12 months). Reschedule or cancel with at least 24 hours’ notice at no charge and with no session lost. Inside that window, a late cancellation or no-show counts as used, though your first each year is on us and genuine emergencies are always handled with understanding. Multi-session packages come with a use-by window we’ll confirm when you purchase, and if you pause or run out of time, your remaining sessions stay as credit (extensions gladly arranged). To reschedule or use a credit, email coaching@lincolnsqcoaching.com.

Frequently Asked Questions
Could I get this for free through ACCES-VR instead of paying?
Maybe, and if so, we’ll point you there first. Private coaching is self and family funded, and it’s not billed to or affiliated with ACCES-VR or any government program. But some of what we offer privately, like employment-related job coaching or communication and social-skills coaching for work or school, may be available at no cost if you qualify. Your free consult includes help figuring out whether a funded program could cover what you need. Choosing to pay is always a choice, and it never gets you faster or better access than the funded route. And if you start private and become eligible later, the funded path stays open. We’ll help you make the switch.
Do you take insurance?
No. Private coaching isn’t a medical service and isn’t billed to insurance. In some cases, when coaching is tied to a medical diagnosis and coordinated with a licensed provider, an HSA or FSA may apply, though we can’t guarantee reimbursement and you’d want to confirm with your plan administrator.
Is coaching virtual or in person?
Both. We coach virtually anywhere, and we offer in-person sessions in New York City at our Manhattan office. Many people mix the two, and your consult includes a recommendation on format.
Who is coaching for? Do I need a diagnosis?
Coaching is for anyone who wants more structure, momentum, and follow-through in their life or career: teens, college students, working adults and career changers, and adults navigating a transition. You don’t need a diagnosis to benefit. Coaching is strengths-based and built around what matters most to you, with affirming support for how neurodivergent minds work.
Is coaching the same as therapy?
No, and it’s not meant to replace it. Coaching is non-clinical and forward-looking. We build practical systems, routines, planning, and accountability for what’s ahead. We don’t diagnose, treat, or provide medical, mental-health, or legal advice, and we refer accommodation documentation to licensed providers. Coaching can work alongside therapy, but it’s a different kind of support.
What does it cost, and what’s your refund policy?
Your free consult always comes first, so the first number you see is $0. A single session is $150. For ongoing work, multi-session packages bring the per-session cost below that rate, and we set the right one together during your consult, based on your goals and how often you want to meet. You’ll always know exactly what’s included and what it costs before you commit, and your consult includes a personalized recommendation. No hidden fees, and no obligation to continue.
