Martha Hoffman is an ADHD expert with over two decades of experience in teaching and coaching, with a Master’s degree in Special Education from American University. As a successful entrepreneur, she leverages her own ADHD journey to help others thrive. Based in Washington, DC for the past 24 years, Martha runs her coaching business and her husband owns a neighborhood restaurant. Together, they are raising two girls and take pride in being active members of their community.
Martha's coaching style is grounded in real-life experience and empathy. Having worked with clients ranging in age from 3 to 70 years old, she understands how ADHD can affect people differently at every stage of life. Martha is direct, down-to-earth, and brings a bit of humor (and a few curse words) to her sessions. A self-described introvert who loves to socialize, she brings a balance of insight and warmth to her work. When she's not coaching, you'll likely find her cheering on the Philadelphia Phillies, spending time with her family, reading or connecting with her community in meaningful ways.
While quick results may be appealing to the ADHD brain, they don’t lead to lasting change. With me, you'll challenge your beliefs and previous habits to uncover the root causes of your struggles. By first accepting where you are and clearly defining where you want to be, we can then create a sustainable path for transformation that truly resonates with your needs.
My coaching approach is rooted in anti-perfectionism, as I believe that striving for unattainable ideals can hold you back from making real progress. I will challenge you to confront the habits and mindsets that may be keeping you stuck, encouraging you to say f*ck perfectinism and the not-enough-ness it's brought to your life so far.
If you have ADHD or you're supporting someone you love with ADHD, together, we'll focus on actionable steps and realistic goals, empowering you to see the results you desire while fostering a healthier relationship with ADHD, no matter what its impact has been up until now.
