Sara Spitzer

ADHD and Executive Functioning Coach

I was diagnosed with ADHD in my late 20s after hitting neurodivergent burnout (although I didn’t realize that’s what it was at the time). This diagnosis completely changed the way I saw myself and the world around me. I finally had a explanation for why functioning was so difficult for me sometimes and why it felt like I ran out of steam faster than others. I started learning as much as I could about neurodivergence and now I am excited and honored to help others learn to navigate their brains as well.

My degree is in molecular biology; I’ve worked with DNA sequencing technologies in San Diego and now Seattle. This background allows me to understand and sort through scientific literature to bring my clients the most up-to-date scientific information about ADHD.

I like to balance out my science-y career with art. My favorite hobbies are singing, theatre, choir, swing dancing, and counted cross stitch.

The logo for MentorCoach reads "MentorCoach Pro Humanitate 1997." The text beside it says "MentorCoach, Training accomplished professionals to become extraordinary coaches."

I am currently pursuing multiple coaching certifications. I have taken foundational coaching courses from a well-respected, accredited coaching program (MentorCoach) and I am currently enrolled in advanced coaching courses. Once complete, I will be a certified professional coach through MentorCoach, the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and the Professional Association of ADHD Coaches (PAAC).
