WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER…

“I’ve been working with Aaron for a few months now for ADHD coaching and I cannot tell you how impressed I am with the knowledge that he brings to sessions. As someone who works in a similar field, I deeply appreciate the way that Aaron has worked with me in sessions. He breaks things down into manageable steps, helps you to understand the underpinnings of having ADHD, and how to overcome/manage these difficulties we sometimes have. I would highly recommend him to anyone else for ADHD coaching.”

- Adult, client

“I was so happy to find Aaron to guide me on how to support my son better and deal with his learning challenges and ADHD. He was patient and very responsive. He went over and above when working with me to make sure that all of my questions were answered. He sent me articles, resources, and other kinds of information for me.”

- Mother, of a Grad Student

“Aaron has been an amazing coach. He’s very skilled in guiding a session and has many resources, tips and tricks that have set me on a path to better living with and managing my ADHD. I would 100% recommend him to anyone searching for an ADHD Coach.”

- Adult, client

“I felt I had a support system as I was trying to figure out the best next steps for my son. Aaron had the sensitivity, patience and understanding to listen and offer careful advice and feedback. I would highly recommend Aaron Smith for any family struggling and facing the challenges of ADHD. Thank you SO much for all of the wonderful guidance, help and support you gave to our family.”

- Mother, of a Grade School Student

“I’ve really enjoyed the past few months working with Potential Within Reach. I received many tools to set myself up for success, and gained more of an ability to hold myself accountable for the things I need to do. I definitely recommend checking thing out if you’re in a similar place where I was: barely getting work done, not getting great sleep, often showing up late to work and not really knowing how to prioritize tasks or ask for help.”

- Adult, client

“Aarons an amazing coach that helped me begin to manage my ADHD in a way that worked for me rather than being very general advice that I had always seen. Went quite further than purely academic and job success but helped me in many areas of my life sometimes unrelated to ADHD. Continuously helped motivate me and push me to improve without being overbearing, and got me in a position where I’m confident I can manage everything in my future or adapt to the situation”

- College student, client

“Aaron is a motivating coach, but more importantly a very, kind, and understanding person. He has really helped me through some tough life transitions. I look forward to our continued work together.”

- Adult, client

“One of the nice things that I think went on during my son’s coaching sessions was how receptive you were to my concerns…. There have certainly been ups and downs to date, but I would say I see a 75% improvement over last year. Overall, a success in my book.”

-Mother, of a College Student

“We are very thankful to Aaron in helping us learn more effective strategies for managing and coping with ADHD in our family, especially during covid. As parents, we felt very supported, as we worked to implement new ideas and goals for our son. Aaron has a very easygoing personality that my son felt very comfortable with. We saw improvements in our son’s ability to work through his challenges, and in our ability as parents to respond better. Aaron was also very helpful in finding remote/homeschool learning resources for us. This has been huge in helping our family, and we’ll plan to continue working together as needed in the future for support.”

- Parent, of a Client

“Aaron was instrumental in giving us strategies to improve school and social concerns to help our teen son. He was able to connect with our son and coach him toward improving interpersonal skills, schoolwork, chores and more. Aaron provided structure and suggestions to us (the parents) and gave us the tools to motivate our son, as well as enforce limits with more ease. Also, because Aaron shared his story of growing up with ADHD and experiencing some of the same challenges as our son, there was connection and buy-in from our son. Aaron was always professional and quick to respond to emails.”

-Mother, of a Teenage Student

“Aaron has been absolutely great! A real support in all sorts of areas personally professionally and otherwise! He really works to accommodate your schedule! I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.”

- Adult, client

“I was a bit of a mess when we started. I was debilitated by crippling anxiety when it came to my academic life, which unfortunately had infected my ability to take care of myself (ie. sleeping, eating right). I had virtually no control over my life or my ability to be successful while at university. Aaron helped me work through these emotions that paralyzed me in order to get to the real issues I was dealing with, being mild ADHD, lack of successful student skills, and organizational/executive functioning skills. By the end of our time together I learned the tools to improve these skills but ultimately I needed to employ them on my own and I realized having a coach was helpful and supportive but not enough to achieve full results. Since ending my time with Aaron I think the tools he gave me have been paramount to my own growth.”

- College Student, client

“Aaron has helped me with a numerous amount of issues that stemmed from my ADHD. This was my first attempt with coaching and had a pleasant experience from start to finish. I liked that we’d focus on making everything practical so that I could put into practice what I learned from each session. Through journaling, setting alarms or reminders, and other strategies I find myself not becoming as overwhelmed as I used to be which has led to a much better quality of life. Most importantly, my relationship with my wife has improved greatly and we are communicating much better and respecting each other and what we both have to say. I’d recommend Aaron to anybody who has similar ADHD problems.”

- Adult, client

“He is a good guy that cares about your academic success and will do everything in his power to give the best chance to excel and succeed”

- College Student, client

“My college-age son entered this coaching relationship quite ambivalent about it’s usefulness for him, but Aaron was really able to engage him in the process and is very relatable. He followed my son’s lead and offered him practical time management and organizational strategies that were a good fit for my son’s learning style. He has made great strides this past semester in employing these new learning skills, and his academic performance shows it. I have already recommended Aaron to other parents of college-age students.”

Aaron has helped me set up systems to track, prioritize and execute on all the tasks that I have on my list, providing a sense of clarity that has been missing in my life. I highly recommend working with him.

Aaron was great! Due to the times we did everything virtual but felt like we were sitting across the table from each other. Easy to relate to. Made me feel welcome each time and found the positives in the things we talked about each time. Wasn't afraid to get into topics outside of ADHD. Highly recommend for anyone looking for help organizing their life.

Working with Aaron has been the best investment I've made in myself, my personal life, and my career. I was going through a huge transition in my life and I don't know what I would've done without him in my corner advising me and cheering me on. He will help you visualize the life you want and work with you step by step to bring that all to life. If you're ready to do the work with him, expect to see real changes come about in your life. I've shifted from working a full time job I was unhappy in to working freelance and traveling the world in just 4 months time of us working together. I'm looking forward to our continued work together in 2020 and beyond.

I highly recommend Aaron Smith and Potential Within Reach. I have learned from Aaron and benefited from his experience as a clinician and coach. I consider him someone I would refer my family and friends to because I'm confident he will provide quality and insightful care. He is highly dedicated to his profession as well as his personal development.

Aaron worked with my son for almost 2 years. Aaron helped my son with executive function and organizational skills that he utilizes in the day to day management of his schoolwork. Aaron's demeanor and approach made it easy for he and my son to bond - my son never complained about the time they spent working on those skills. We wish Aaron luck in CO.

WORKING WITH ADHD, NOT AGAINST IT

Aaron Smith, LMSW

Hi, I’m Aaron Smith, PWR’s founder. My own struggles and accomplishments (including a Masters in Social Work from Columbia University) prompted my desire to help others with ADHD.

Today we face a critical shortage of support for those with ADHD and their caregivers. Children, teens, adults and their families are struggling, too often unsuccessfully, to find ways to cope. If you’re reading this, you are probably among them or know someone who is.

My approach is two-pronged, providing both emotional support and concrete, evidence-based success strategies. It is deeply rooted in the belief that ADHD is not a “deficit” or a “disorder” but a positive attribute with its own blend of challenges (reframed as learning opportunities) and wonderful upsides. I firmly believe that every person with ADHD has extraordinary potential, and my aim is to help them reach it.
