Kyle Fabel, Certified ADHD Life Coach
My first career was as an actor. I made it to Broadway. Acting didn’t satisfy my creative hunger, though. I wanted to shape the entire story, not only one character’s place in the story. I began a second career, as a director. Directing (and acting) kept me constantly on the road, and subject to the whims of an industry that only employed me in two-to-three month increments. And I wanted to start a family. I decided to commit to staying home in New York City, and to becoming a theater instructor. Teaching, however, still left me at the mercy of academia, a world that is just as fickle as show business.
I wanted to be my own boss. And it occurred to me that I could do so, while at the same time helping others to do what I had done over-and-over: to close the gap between where their lives are, and where they want them to be. I became a coach.
I specialize in clients with ADHD. The challenges (including, but not limited to, executive functioning), needs, and symptoms associated with persons with ADHD, are often obstacles to their enormous creativity and powerful spontaneity. We overcome those obstacles, and we close that gap.
I have a private practice, and since becoming a certified life coach, I've been fortunate enough to be on staff doing ADHD coaching for the Hallowell Center in New York City - the office of the world's foremost ADHD specialist, Dr. Ned Hallowell.
I keep finding creative ways to change in the way my instincts and values tell me I must. With me as your online life coach, you will do the same.

"I’m a journalist who led a dual life with undiagnosed ADHD... Diagnosis, therapy, and medication have helped some, but I was still contemplating leaving journalism when I connected with Kyle, just as I was starting a new writing assignment. For the first time since becoming a parent, I finished a project of consequence on deadline and to length, without needing a single all-nighter."

"Working with Kyle has been a 110% positive experience. Our weekly coaching sessions are simultaneously challenging and comforting as Kyle encourages but does not coddle...even if I'm complaining, crying, being stubborn, and/or wanting to give up. A la give a man a fish/teach a man to fish, Kyle takes it to another level, so that one's fishing pole's construction and tackle box assemblage are authentically one's own."
