ADD // ADHD // Neurodivergent Resource List
Support your fellow founders: If you have additional resources for this list, please email them to hi@thefoundercoach.com for inclusion.
Executive Function Club: https://executivefunctionclub.carrd.co
Run by Evan, this is a neurodivergent-led community that creates practical tools and quiet body doubling spaces for moments when your brain shuts down or you need quiet focus or calm structure. They offer a free Executive Function First Aid Kit to help you clarify what matters, choose one next step, and place it into your week using simple visual pages instead of long to-do lists. And they host twice-weekly, quiet YouTube body doubling sessions so folks can drop into structured focus even on low-capacity days.

Portola Wellness: https://www.portolawellness.com
Dr. Choy and Yoonas are two Stanford-trained docs who used to run the Elite Focus Clinic, which specialized in diagnosing and treating high achieving folks with neurodivergence.
Bay Area Center for ADHD: https://www.bayareaadhd.com/coaching.html
Their specific focus is ADHD and since they're in the Bay, I imagine they talk with lots of high achievers, people in tech, and other founders. They have a range of types of clinicians (PsyDs, MFTs, LCSWs, etc.) which makes me think they'll be able to 'match' founders with the person best suited to their style and needs.

Caroline Totah: https://carolinetotah.com
She seems like a real expert! My sense is that she has lots of practical experience and can help resource founders with skills, thoughts, and tools they can use right now. I also like that it seems like she's creative and has a sense of humor - and that she's available in-between sessions which I think could provide helpful accountability.
