About PTS Coaching
PTS Coaching, LLC, founded by Cindy Goldrich, specializes in providing education, training, and support for parents, educators, and clinicians navigating the challenges of ADHD and executive function issues. We are committed to ensuring that every child who thinks and learns differently is understood, valued for who they are, and empowered to succeed along their unique path.
Our services offer families practical strategies to manage ADHD effectively. We also provide specialized training programs for those who aspire to become ADHD Parent Coaches or ADHD Teacher Trainers, equipping them with the expertise and skills to make a lasting impact in the lives of those affected by ADHD. Our holistic approach fosters resilience and success in both children and the adults who support them.
We believe that every parent of a “complex” child deserves the guidance and support to become a calm, empathetic, and informed advocate for their child. Likewise, we strive to ensure that every educator and clinician has the tools, strategies, and understanding needed to help these children thrive rather than feel like they don’t fit in the traditional classroom environment.
Our team of ADHD coaches is here to guide you and your family through these challenges. Together, we can empower those who learn, think, and perform outside conventional norms to find strength and confidence in their own Path to Success!

As a former educator for over 15 years, she understands the challenges students of all ages face including planning, working the plan, organizing, managing time, and overcoming overwhelm. As a wife of someone with ADHD and a parent of five, she has experienced the roller-coaster ride of family life with ADHD. Now as a coach, she partners with students and adults to find what works for them to do their best. Her calm presence enables clients to relax and trust her to guide them as they work to learn about themselves, build new habits, and put plans into action.

Helen Kornblum, MA
Helen is a trained life coach who specializes in working with teens and young adults who have attention deficit disorders. She helps them create coping strategies by using their strengths, which enables them to thrive in a linear world. Building teens by recognizing their accomplishments and potential is easier than repairing demoralized adults. Because coaching is about change, Helen encourages teens to pick the changes they want to make, treating every effort as an experiment that deserves a thoughtful review. Feedback from clients about what worked or what didn’t work eliminates harsh judgments. Feedback also makes the coaching relationship a safe refuge for teens who seek extra support while developing their independence.
