Jon Zeitlin
M.Ed., MBA, PAAC-CACP
Founder and Lead Coach
I am an ADHD expert having co-founded, with Dr. Edward Hallowell, one of the largest ADHD centers in California. I am also a three-time CEO and senior corporate executive with my own executive function challenges that I have overcome. In addition, I am a PAAC-certified ADHD coach.
I graduated from Yale and received two Master’s degrees from Stanford. But I always struggled with organization, losing things, and attention to detail. And my career ran into a wall when I could no longer hide these issues from my work colleagues.

In my 30s, after a painful job demotion, I went to see a psychologist who told me that I had strong ADHD symptoms, I went on a self-imposed course of building “compensating mechanisms” for my weaknesses. I had to admit to myself that my brain was really rotten at some things and that I had to take special measures to overcome these challenges. I used alarms and notifications for all my deadlines, I rigorously updated my prioritized To Do List and built a reputation for being early for meetings. I also made sure that I took on roles that played to my strengths.
From that point on, my career took off: I rose to Senior Vice-President at Kaplan, one of the world’s largest education companies and then served as chief executive at two subsidiaries. On the side, I coached and tutored high school students. I also started a family and am very happily married with three wonderful teenage kids.
I teach my clients what I had to learn for myself: 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. I decided to start my own practice to make research-based, ADHD treatments delivered by highly qualified coaches and clinicians available more widely. We aim to make this a practice that serves clients across the U.S. and around the world.
My son got way behind in his school work with only six weeks left in the semester. The combination of Jon’s patient and insightful coaching and body doubling with Rachel motivated him to get all his work done. It was not easy but in the end his grades actually were very good. – SS
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 such a positive outcome. – CC

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).

Once the action plans are put in place, I will continue to serve as your accountability partner and help you learn more about yourself.

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 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’s 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 balance of accountability and compassion is what makes working with him so powerful.

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.
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.
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, let’s 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.
