What training/ certification for executive function coaches?

[Anonymous]

My college student needs an executive function coach. Her school doesn’t have any resources in this area. She’s in Pittsburgh.

What trainings/ certifications have people found to be useful for these coaches? Are there reputable companies that she could look for?

I’m trying to support her in finding her own coach/ evaluating options. And she knows the personal connection is important. But in this case I feel like there should be some specific skills too.

Thanks for any suggestions!

There is no official certification of licensure though I'm sure there are scam artists selling classes and phony certifications. Some are former teachers and/or parents who helped their own kids or even licensed counselors. Unfortunately, reviews don't tell you much because anyone can post a review of themselves or a friend of family member. You either have to try them out or go by word of mouth from people you really trust.
