ABOUT
PRIVATE NEUROCOACHING

  • "As someone who came in with a highly skeptical attitude toward life and career coaching, I have had an extremely positive experience with Colleen at NeuroKind. Colleen's approach is unique in that she incorporates scientifically based principles around brain development into what is otherwise a very personalized coaching experience. I have found the structure of the coaching sessions to be incredibly effective and I always feel like I come away with concrete new tools and insights. This may sound cliche but since I started coaching six months ago, I have experienced a major transformation in my relationship to my job, my career, and my expectations for the future. Working with Colleen has been an absolute pleasure, and I particularly appreciate her candor, humor, and openness. My only regret is that I didn't find her sooner!"

    -KARISA B.W., Assistant Professor of Gender and Communications (Kent State), NeuroCoach (Another World Coaching)

  • "Colleen has an amazing talent for mining thought. Each time we talk, I come away knowing more about myself and my abilities than I had beforehand. As each session ends, I find myself wishing that there were more time to continue. I also appreciate that her approach is based in neuroscience. Colleen is a fantastic coach and comes with my heartfelt recommendation."

    -BARRY O., Senior Specialist - Project Management (Cincinnati Children’s Hospital)


    "Colleen is awesome - she's kind and smart and funny, and she does exactly what she says she's going to do and what you ask her to do. She's creative in finding solutions and really good at hearing what you're not saying out loud. She's also willing to work with various budgets - she really wants to see you succeed!"

    -LANA G., Operations Manager (Sünny)


  • "Coaching with Colleen felt immediately intuitive and instructive, transforming not only my attitude and approach, but also my ability to represent my experience and goals.The tools and resources she shared improved my regulation and decision-making - supporting my vision and voice, and allowing me to better respond to the nuanced responsibilities in my purview. I would recommend Colleen's coaching to anyone at a professional inflection point, who is eager to grow their confidence, improve strategic decision-making, and develop a comprehensive leadership toolkit."

    -JEN F., Chief of Staff, University Development (Georgetown University)

  • "Colleen is an extraordinary coach and human being. My only regret is that I didn't learn about her years ago. I came to the work with a list of challenges, both personal and professional, and Colleen helped me find focus and clarity. After just weeks of working together, I feel more confident and secure in approaching both my personal and professional relationships. Colleen's neuro-centric approach not only offers approaches to solving concrete problems, it provides a space to examine WHY we react and respond to things in our lives. Colleen's personable approach is key - she's warm, attentive, and I know she genuinely cares about her clients and the outcomes. Her passion in her work is palpable and inspiring. The NeuroKind perspective will challenge you to go as deeply into your self as you dare. Fortunately, Colleen provides a safe, creative, inspiring space in which to do the work. I look forward to working with her again in the future."

    -TIM K. Screenwriter, Film Director, Producer, and Teacher (UCLA, USC School of Cinematic Arts)

  • "I came to Colleen with severe impostor syndrome as I prepared for my first speaking engagement. Colleen helped me work through these nasty feelings and taught me how to make a challenging project into a fun adventure. She takes my work anxieties and shows me continually that I do have the power to solve problems and move forward into new opportunities. She has shown me that to do lists don't have to be tedious; they can be filled with creative projects that you can't wait to dive into. If you need someone to keep you on target, bounce ideas off of, or help you envision yourself in your best light, book an appointment with Colleen."

    -GWENDOLYN R., Communications and Marketing Manager (Planned Parenthood)

  • "After only a few months of working with Colleen, I’ve been able to get crystal clear on my values, create helpful strategies to achieve my goals and narrow down into a niche that lights my soul on fire! With Colleen’s guidance, I’ve been able to demolish the thoughts that have been holding me back from pursuing what was true and right for me, and I have never felt more alive and on fire for the future."

    -TIM K. Screenwriter, Film Director, Producer, and Teacher (UCLA, USC School of Cinematic Arts)

  • "I was recently coached by Colleen, and I’ve been recommending her left, right and center since our first session. She has a unique way of creating a safe and accepting space where I felt genuinely heard and understood. I came to her when I was feeling a bit lost and facing big life changes. I was looking for a coaching experience where I could touch base with my values and aspirations and together we created a decision framework for my personal and professional life that acts like a compass, directing me towards my desired future experience. It was exactly what I needed, and I look forward to working with her again!"

    - DANIELLE B., Project Lead (ustwo)

  • "Colleen was so wonderful to work with and helped me to see progress on a goal I have been working on for a long time but had little success on my own. She is authentic, energetic, organized, and inspiring. She also has the logic and evidence to support all of her claims. She is personable and easy to work with, I highly recommend her!"

    -JAMIE J., Pediatric Oncology Nurse (Stanford Children’s Hospital)

  • "Colleen has changed my life! No – seriously. Changed. My. F@cking. Life. And she lets me swear. She is a bad-ass, put-me-in-the-right-headspace AWESOME motivator. She is exceptionally well read and pragmatic, she has incredible depth and knowledge of her field and I am SO grateful that I stumbled across her website and clicked the “Say hello” button at the empty end of a bottle of wine about a year ago. Colleen has helped me navigate leaving my husband with a strength and grace that I never knew I was capable of (he may have a different story..) she has kicked my ass when I bad-mouthed myself and given me tools to love who I am and recognize what I am achieving when I’m not looking, she has strategized alongside me on the most FABULOUSLY energetic calls when I’ve been growing my businesses… she rocks. She fucking rocks. You literally cannot live without her."

    -JULES T., Serial Entrepreneur (Limey, The British Shop), Award-Winning Interior Designer (Evolve Design)

  • "Colleen is really special. I’ve been working with her for the past few months on a diverse range of creative, academic, and emotional goals, including helping me develop my Master’s Thesis at Columbia University. Colleen’s specific toolset and background are perfectly suited to provide practical support as well as creative inspiration in each of these areas. One of the most concrete benefits I’ve experienced from working with Colleen is a huge improvement in my productivity and mood during the work day. Colleen creates a safe space that is just for me, and I can tell that she is really listening and actively thinking about my goals because of her invariably insightful responses. It’s been wonderful having such a supportive partner in my life, and best of all, it is so fulfilling to actually accomplish goals that I’ve dreamt about for a long time. Colleen is magic – her coaching is the best thing to enter my life in a long time and she has my highest, most enthusiastic recommendation."

    LAUREN S., Adult Animation Post-Production Manager (Netflix)

  • "Colleen is an extraordinary coach and human being. My only regret is that I didn't learn about her years ago. I came to the work with a list of challenges, both personal and professional, and Colleen helped me find focus and clarity. After just weeks of working together, I feel more confident and secure in approaching both my personal and professional relationships. Colleen's neuro-centric approach not only offers approaches to solving concrete problems, it provides a space to examine WHY we react and respond to things in our lives. Colleen's personable approach is key - she's warm, attentive, and I know she genuinely cares about her clients and the outcomes. Her passion in her work is palpable and inspiring. The NeuroKind perspective will challenge you to go as deeply into your self as you dare. Fortunately, Colleen provides a safe, creative, inspiring space in which to do the work. I look forward to working with her again in the future."

    -TIM K. Screenwriter, Film Director, Producer, and Teacher (UCLA, USC School of Cinematic Arts)

  • "I was recently coached by Colleen, and I’ve been recommending her left, right and center since our first session. She has a unique way of creating a safe and accepting space where I felt genuinely heard and understood. I came to her when I was feeling a bit lost and facing big life changes. I was looking for a coaching experience where I could touch base with my values and aspirations and together we created a decision framework for my personal and professional life that acts like a compass, directing me towards my desired future experience. It was exactly what I needed, and I look forward to working with her again!"

  • "Colleen was so wonderful to work with and helped me to see progress on a goal I have been working on for a long time but had little success on my own. She is authentic, energetic, organized, and inspiring. She also has the logic and evidence to support all of her claims. She is personable and easy to work with, I highly recommend her!"

    -JAMIE J., Pediatric Oncology Nurse (Stanford Children’s Hospital)

  • "Colleen has changed my life! No – seriously. Changed. My. F@cking. Life. And she lets me swear. She is a bad-ass, put-me-in-the-right-headspace AWESOME motivator. She is exceptionally well read and pragmatic, she has incredible depth and knowledge of her field and I am SO grateful that I stumbled across her website and clicked the “Say hello” button at the empty end of a bottle of wine about a year ago. Colleen has helped me navigate leaving my husband with a strength and grace that I never knew I was capable of (he may have a different story..) she has kicked my ass when I bad-mouthed myself and given me tools to love who I am and recognize what I am achieving when I’m not looking, she has strategized alongside me on the most FABULOUSLY energetic calls when I’ve been growing my businesses… she rocks. She fucking rocks. You literally cannot live without her."

We are on a neuroscientific precipice - just beginning to understand the full scope of human neurodiversity.

At NeuroKind, we focus less on diagnoses - which tend to define folks by how their learning, processing, and/or communication styles inconvenience those around them - and more on helping you identify, understand, and leverage your brain’s individual strengths.

Neurodivergent or not, you are welcome, and can expect respect, dignity, patience, support, clear communication - and HOPE.
