Jon Zeitlin, M.Ed., MBA, PAAC-CACP
Founder and Lead Coach
I am an ADHD expert, having worked in the field for almost a decade and trained under leaders in the field including Dr. Edward Hallowell and Dr. Alan Graham. I am a PAAC-Certified ADHD coach and work primarily with teens, college students, and professionals. I speak frequently at conferences and webinars on topics related to ADHD and Executive Function. I am also a three-time CEO and senior corporate executive with my own ADHD challenges that I have (mostly) overcome.
I graduated from Yale and received two Master’s degrees from Stanford. But I always struggled with organization, losing things, and attention to detail.
In my 30s, after a psychologist told me that I had strong ADHD symptoms, there were no ADHD coaches, so I had to go on a self-imposed course of building “compensating mechanisms” for my weaknesses. I also made sure that I took on roles that played to my strengths. This work took me at least 5 years until my deficits were not getting in the way of my goals.
From that point, things improved: my career took off and I got happily married and now am the proud father of three teens.
In 2019, I founded and built a very successful ADHD practice in California in conjunction with Dr. Edward Hallowell, one of the leaders in the field. Running this practice immersed me in ADHD and the Executive Function challenges that our clients faced. In 2023, I started my own ADHD practice.
I teach my clients to play to their strengths and build structure and compensating mechanisms to overcome their executive function challenges. I love passing on my learning and seeing my clients make rapid progress.
Current Client: Lately, I’ve really started to step into owning and disclosing my ADHD. You were the catalyst, and the encourager for that. It’s been incredibly freeing to admit that I have it, and my needs for constructively managing it.
Previous Client: I wish my son had started earlier. He and Jon connected instantly. And during their time together, my son really benefited from the support. He struggles with procrastination and organization but the guidance he received made a big difference, especially in helping him work through his college applications which had a great outcome.

Together, we cultivate confidence and competence, steering away from the burdens of perfectionism and moving towards a more nurturing, understanding, and self-accepting mindset. Our journey delves into your inner experience.
Certified as an Associate Coach by the International Coach Federation and an ADHD Coach by MentorCoach, I merge positive psychology with an ADHD-focused approach. Leveraging my educational background with a Bachelor of Kinesiology from the University of Lethbridge and a Master’s degree in Dance from York University, I offer a comprehensive perspective.
In our coaching partnership, we explore your identity, understand executive functions, raise awareness of strengths, and recognize the impacts of ADHD. Collaboratively, we identify patterns, set achievable goals, develop step-by-step plans, enhance skills, and leverage strengths for your success.
ADHD is a condition that resonates with many, either through personal experience or relationships. Whether you are personally affected or seeking a better understanding of neurodiversity, lets embark on this transformative journey together.
Maria has been instrumental in helping our family understand ADHD and feel positive about this diagnosis. She provided many resources and ideas on how to support my son, from nutrition to books and papers. My spouse and I appreciated her positive attitude toward ADHD and the support she offered to us as we learned new ways to support our son. During my son’s sessions with Maria, he felt safe, understood, and seen for who he is.
Offering specialized ADHD coaching services for families, youth, and adults, my unique perspective stems from personal experience. Living with two gifted individuals who also have ADHD provides me with an intimate understanding of the daily highs and lows. I navigate the complexities with a nuanced approach, comprehending both the triumphs and challenges, empathizing with the frustrations and overwhelm from both the ADHDer and non-ADHDer perspectives.
My coaching philosophy revolves around aiding you in comprehending the distinctive qualities of your brain, identifying strengths, and embracing your authentic self.
Matt Sampey, M.A., ADDCA
PAAC Certified ADHD Coach
I specialize in helping college students and adult executives manage their ADHD. Having struggled but succeeded through both an undergraduate and graduate degree at LSU and then as an executive in the private sector for 20 years, I was finally diagnosed in 2011. Since then I have learned all I can about ADHD and coaching and have dedicated my life to help people be the best possible versions of themselves by playing to their strengths and learning how to build systems and workarounds to deal with their challenges.
I work with my clients to clarify their goals for the work, discover what is preventing them from living up to their full potential and make action plans to improve their lives. Once the action plans are put in place, i continue to serve as your accountability partner and help you learn more about yourself.
I work with college students, graduate students, CEOs, hospital administrators, IT managers, attorneys, and doctors. My clients are highly intelligent but are struggling in certain phases of their life. I earned my Advanced Coaching Credential through ADD Coach Academy and a Professional Credential through Professional Association of ADHD Coaches (PAAC).
I am a father to 3 daughters (2 have ADHD). I love music, outdoor exercise, reading, and gardening. I love to laugh during coaching sessions and make this a positive experience for all my clients.
I’ve been working with Matt for six months and the experience has been transformative. He brings incredible empathy - he knows what it is like to be in our shoes and continues to do the work alongside us. What sets Matt apart is that he doesn’t sugarcoat the process. From the start, he makes it clear this is hard work and holds his clients to the same high expectations he sets for himself.
Through our work, I’ve become more effective professionally and learned to extend grace to myself - to accept who I am and celebrate the unique gifts I bring. That blanace of accountability and compassion is what makes working with him so powerful.
