Hi, I’m Anne Silverman.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, educational consultant and an executive function and parent coach with over 30 years of comprehensive experience gained in educational, clinical, and non-profit environments. A core aspect of my practice, and indeed a passion, is supporting clients in developing critical executive function skills. This includes enhancing their ability to initiate and complete tasks, strategically plan, optimize organization, effectively manage time, improve working memory, and strengthen emotional regulation. I’m also especially ardent about helping families understand and navigate the school system, so their children with learning differences get the support they need to thrive and reach their full educational potential.

As your coach, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore and improve upon your executive function challenges. Through deep listening, we'll develop personalized strategies that truly align with how your brain works. My goal is to empower you with new strengths, modifications and tools, unlocking your untapped potential through consistent support and actionable change.

As your educational consultant, I will help you create an education plan, usually as a 504 or Individual Education Program (IEP) that fits your child’s unique learning strengths and challenges. Together, we will advocate to make this plan a reality in their school setting.

What Led Me to this Work

My journey into educational consulting and executive function coaching spans over 30 years, deeply rooted in both professional practice and personal experience. As a parent, I guided two incredible, uniquely wired children through the complexities of ADHD, and as a partner, I've supported my husband diagnosed with ADHD. This personal immersion highlighted a critical gap: essential executive function skills are often overlooked in traditional education, presenting a major hurdle for many, including my own children and husband. Through advocating for and coaching my family to unlock their potential in academics, careers, and daily life, I witnessed the profound, life-changing impact of tailored support. This experience ignited my passion to help others achieve their own breakthroughs and realize their full potential.

My Professional Background

I received my BA from the University of Wisconsin at Madison and my MSW from The University of St. Thomas/College of St Catherine. I have over three decades of work as a children’s mental health case manager, school social worker, special education program coordinator, therapist and executive function coach.

If this resonates with you and you’d like to take the first step, I’d love to connect to discuss how I can support you.
