About Vive

Compassionate Coaching for Families Navigating ADHD

Led by Andrea Allen—an experienced coach, educator, and dedicated family advocate with a master’s in psychology and specialized training in ADHD and Life Coaching—Vive Coaching provides a safe, supportive space for families navigating the complexities of ADHD. Andrea brings warmth, empathy, and deep insight into every conversation.

Rooted in both lived experience and evidence-based practices, Andrea’s coaching is designed to be practical, hopeful, and deeply validating. She understands how confusing this journey can be, especially when you're flooded with information yet still unsure of what to do next. Rather than diagnose or treat, Andrea offers strengths-based guidance, a nonjudgmental ear, and practical strategies for individuals and parents.

Her coaching highlights the brain differences that shape ADHD-related behaviors and emotional experiences. She provides support that builds confidence and reframes challenges in a way that feels accessible and hopeful. Andrea helps families move forward with clarity, resilience, and confidence. Whether you’re feeling lost, frustrated, or simply in need of reassurance and direction, she will walk beside you—so you feel supported, informed, and never alone.

Vive Philosophy: Practical, Aligned, Evidence-Based

At Vive, we approach ADHD coaching through a lens of partnership, clarity, and meaningful change. Our philosophy centers on the idea that progress is most sustainable when strategies are not only backed by research, but also resonate with your family’s values, routines, and emotional landscape.

Instead of one-size-fits-all solutions, we guide families in choosing approaches that reflect their specific goals and environments. This includes leveraging behavioral strategies that are practical, relationship-focused, and empowering—tools that can make everyday life more manageable and more connected.

Our work is especially influenced by research that highlights the importance of environment in shaping behavior. Supporting children with ADHD involves more than just managing symptoms—it means creating conditions that foster resilience, connection, and success.

Andrea’s approach draws deeply from the work of Professor Edmund Sonuga-Barke, whose research underscores the role of context in ADHD. To explore these ideas further, we invite you to watch this insightful video where he explains why tailored behavioral support matters:
