Thereā€™s nothing wrong with your brain. ADHD just means it works differentlyā€”and understanding that difference holds incredible power. With the right coach, you learn how your mind works, build the tools to thrive, and finally see yourself through a lens of strength, not struggle.
ā€”Anne Silverman
Hi, Iā€™m Anne Silverman.
I am a licensed clinical social worker 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 my greatest 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.
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, skills and tools, unlocking your untapped potential through consistent support and actionable change.
What Led Me to this Work
My journey into 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 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 childrenā€™s mental health case manager, school social worker, special education program coordinator, therapist and executive function coach.
If this resonates with you and youā€™d like to take the first step, Iā€™d love to connect to discuss how I can support you.
