Cultivating Success Through Holistic Change:
Dr. Doyle’s Approach to Executive Function Coaching

My Approach
My team-based and strength-based approach to coaching is grounded in research-based methodologies that foster emotional change, affective change, cognitive change, and behavior change. Through this holistic approach to intervention, I help our students, parents, and adults achieve long-lasting positive and productive patterns in their lives.



My Method
My methodologies include a blend of motivational interviewing, mind-mapping, and visualizing techniques, contributing to the enhancement of executive function skills, autobiographical planning, and working memory. Whether it's daily routines or long-term skills, I help students and families manage their lives more efficiently and proactively, leading to increased self-determination and self-efficacy.Following the child, my coaching approach is to CONNECT with my families to create safe and trusting relationships that allow each client to REFLECT with authenticity and without fear of judgment on the strengths, the challenges, the successes, the failures, and the goals for and with their children. With that information, I then help clients PLAN and identify a roadmap for achieving that goal, including anticipating what obstacles they might encounter along the way and what they can do in the face of those obstacles.Each session includes time for coaches to INSTRUCT clients in a new skill, strategy, or new way of looking at a situation and provides incentive for using that new skill as they work towards their goals. With new skills, strategies, encouragement, and the “just right” level of accountability, clients begin to ALIGN their actions with their goals. This path of CONNECTING, PLANNING, INSTRUCTING, and ALIGNING continues throughout the coaching process with the ultimate goal being to EMPOWER our clients to develop executive function skills as well as a level of self-awareness, self-advocacy, self-determination, self-confidence, and self-agency that results in them achieving their goals.

Direct Coaching: A Personalized Path to Progress.
With Direct Coaching, I work with the learner one-on-one, providing the most personalized and common form of support. These tailored sessions, conducted via Zoom, Google Meet, phone, or in person, are designed to fit your unique goals and desired pace of change. I'll begin with frequent sessions to build momentum, gradually adjusting as they achieve meaningful progress. This service also includes supportive text check-ins and motivational messages to keep them on track.

Specialized Tutoring For Unique Learners
I offer individualized, strengths-based tutoring for students with diverse learning needs, including those with specific learning disabilities like dyslexia and dyscalculia, as well as learners with dysgraphia, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), executive functioning challenges, and anxiety.
Every session is tailored to your child's unique learning profile. Whether they're struggling with decoding, reading comprehension, written expression, or math fluency, I use evidence-based strategies rooted in the science of learning, paired with creativity, connection, and care. My goal is to help students build the skills and confidence they need not just to succeed in school, but to understand how they learn best and carry those tools with them for life.

Educational Testing
As an Educational Therapist with specialized diagnostic training, I offer comprehensive academic evaluations to pinpoint your child's learning strengths and challenges (reading, writing, math, attention, executive functioning, language-based learning). My advanced training provides precise tools for testing and educational planning.While I don't provide formal psychological diagnoses, I use research-based assessments (e.g., WIAT-4, WJ-IV, GORT-5) to offer data-driven insights into your child's academic profile. These results are invaluable for sharing with schools, physicians, and other providers, supporting IEP/504 development, and guiding effective interventions.My evaluations are especially helpful for families seeking to understand struggles, support RTI, prepare for school evaluations, track progress, or advocate effectively with clear, actionable data.

Social Skills Support
for Students with ASD (K–12)
I help students on the autism spectrum build the confidence and tools they need to connect with others.

My goal is to help students apply these skills not just in our sessions, but in their everyday lives at school, at home, and in the community, empowering them to navigate friendships and daily interactions with greater ease and independence.

Direct Coaching: A Personalized Path to Progress.

Direct coaching is when the client and coach are working 1:1 together. This can be over Zoom, Google Meet, in person, or over the phone. The duration and frequency of these sessions are determined by the team’s goals and the desired pace of change. One to two direct sessions a week during the onset can be common and fades as the client achieves a meaningful level of progress. This model of coaching is the most common form of coaching and is required in the beginning for all of our clients. Simple text check-ins and/or motivational messages are also included in this service option. Over time, once the coach and client have an established working relationship and effective momentum in the skill development process, the two will decide how frequently to meet directly.

Client-Initiated Check-ins

Results and recommendations are intended to inform instruction and may be used to support requests for accommodations or school-based supports.
