Hi! I’m Jaime Diaz-Adelman, a certified school psychologist and ADHD coach, mom, and someone who knows firsthand the struggles of living with executive functioning challenges. For years, I carried the weight of feeling like a failure until I began to truly understand my brain. Once I learned the “why” behind my challenges, things finally clicked - and with time, I discovered strategies that worked.

Who I am

I hold a Master of Science in School Psychology and have been working in the field for about 15 years. I’m also a parent with ADHD, raising a child with ADHD. This combination of professional expertise and lived experience gives me a unique perspective: I understand the shame, overwhelm, and frustration - not just from the textbooks, but from real life.

I started Focused Family Coaching because I saw a gap. Too often, students are diagnosed with ADHD, but families are left with little guidance. Parents are told “what” the problem is, but rarely given the tools to navigate the day-to-day reality of supporting their child. My mission is to change that.

My Mission & Philosophy

I believe that growth begins with honoring where you are. Progress looks different for everyone, and it’s never about perfection. Coaching with me is not therapy - It’s future-focused, educational, and goal-oriented. My role is to partner with you, teach strategies, and support you in building habits and systems that work for your unique brain and family.

My core values guide everything I do:

• Compassion & Connection - meeting people where they are, without judgement.

• Empowerment - teaching tools that clients can carry for life.

• Authenticity - being honest about my own journey so others feel less alone.

• Progress Over Perfection - celebrating growth in all it’s forms.

• Light and Hope - helping clients move past shame into confidence.

Who I Help

I work with parents, teens, college students, and families impacted by ADHD - as well as anyone struggling with executive functioning. Many of my clients come to me feeling defeated, disorganized, or judged. Together, we create simple, doable micro-habits that lead to real change.

The transformation is powerful: shame fades, confidence grows, and families begin to see a path forward that feels possible.

Beyond my professional role, I’m a mom who loves spending time with my family. I’ve lived with shame and self-doubt, so I know how heavy it can feel - and I want every client to know there is hope.

If you are ready to move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling empowered, I’d love to walk alongside you. Together, we’ll create systems that bring relief, restore hope, and help you and your family thrive.
