Executive Function coaching teaches tools needed to improve Executive Function skills. Together, we will work to strengthen skills that already exist in your brain, and learn new tools to manage three main areas: how we act, how we feel and how we think.

LifeFx does not work directly with insurance. However, we can provide you with an itemized receipt, including the necessary codes, which you can submit to your provider for potential reimbursement. Many of our families have had success with this approach. Families have also used HSA/FSA funds or CADI/Medical Waiver funds. Coverage and reimbursement will depend on your specific insurance policy.

If insurance or reimbursement isn’t an option, we offer flexible payment plans. We’re happy to work with you to create a plan that fits your budget.

Yes! We offer coaching sessions both in-person, at our center in Richfield, and virtually.

LifeFx offeres coaching Monday-Thursday 9 AM – 7 PM CST and every other Saturday 9 AM – 2 PM CST. Sessions are 50 minutes each.

Each coach enters the program with their own knowledge base and experience. Many of our coaches are currently enrolled in university or graduate-level programs in psychology, education, social work, or related fields. Several are pursuing long-term careers in mental health or education. We intentionally hire individuals who already have a strong foundation and a deep interest in neurodevelopment, learning, and behavior.

Once hired, every coach completes a structured 90-day onboarding process. During this time, they:

• Work closely with senior-level Executive Function Coaches
• Receive direct training from Dr. Hansen in the psychology and neuroscience behind our coaching model
• Observe sessions and gradually transition into leading sessions with support
• Review curriculum, tools, and case conceptualization in depth

This onboarding period is highly supported and mentorship-driven.

Support does not end after the initial 90 days. Our coaches receive:

• Weekly supervision meetings with the Director of LifeFx to review students and session plans
• Ongoing access to consultation from Dr. Hansen and senior coaches
• Quarterly formal training sessions led by Dr. Hansen to ensure continued education and skill development
• Monthly team meetings focused on curriculum review, professional development, and refining our approach

Our model is intentionally collaborative. Coaches are never working in isolation. Each student benefits from both their individual coach and the layered supervision and expertise behind that coach.

We are deeply committed to providing thoughtful, psychology-informed executive function coaching with strong clinical oversight and continued professional growth.

Executive Function Coaching teaches students how to learn, not what to learn. We teach students how to better understand their unique brain, and how to navigate a world that does not always feel like it is designed for them. The tools students learn in Executive Function Coaching are tools they will use for the rest of their lives!
