Mira Weinfeld
ADHD and Positive Psychology Coach
Meeting and working with Mira has been nothing short of a blessing, a huge positive game-changer in my life.
— C. Esquivel, Actress
If you've found yourself on Mira’s website or page, then—like me—you’re very lucky. I don’t say the following lightly:
Meeting and working with Mira has been nothing short of a blessing, a huge, positive game-changer in my life.
I was new to the coaching world but had read about its incredible benefits. I also researched first-hand accounts from other individuals receiving coaching, particularly in the ADHD community. As a result, I felt educated about what to expect regarding structure, keeping in mind that the coach’s style would add more personal flair.
BUT THEN I WORKED WITH MIRA AND REALIZED HER GENIUS. I was thoroughly impressed from the very beginning. In our work together, Mira has supported me to view myself through a strengths lens, helped me crystallize my identity and anchor my best self in a given moment, and guided me to reframe my perspective of the world I live in.
I sought out a coach because I constantly felt lost and was always searching for answers. I was overwhelmed with so much uncertainty in my life, uncertainty in myself, and a mass of “ADHD problems.” I didn’t know where to begin until Mira helped guide me. Even though she refuses to take credit—because the ultimate lesson within coaching is that you have all of the answers within yourself—Mira plays an essential role in helping you feel capable enough to find those answers and trust them. Her process is one you have to experience for yourself.
If I had to pick the two biggest takeaways of all of the life-changing lessons I’ve learned from my work with Mira is:
-
Be positive for yourself. You might feel like you can be positive for others, but being positive for yourself will help expand your thoughts to come up with endless creative solutions to your problems.
-
Understanding your character strengths and how they play a vital role in energizing you will help guide you to feeling fulfilled.
I do not recognize the person that I was a year ago. I constantly surprise myself with how much more positive and confident I am. Even in my most trying moments, I don’t feel helpless. I realize that I have all the tools to help guide me and keep me self-sufficient and free. That’s all thanks to Mira and her genius.

Mira's coaching style helps me develop new awareness and insights and empowers me to design steps that move me forward.
— J. Dunn, ADHD Coach
Mira is an excellent coach! I’m highly impressed with her ability to ask me questions that make me think about my challenges and how I might create solutions that uniquely work for me. Mira creates a non-judgmental, trusting, and safe environment, which allows me to open up and explore where I’m blocked. She does an excellent job of hearing my concerns, actively listening to and empathizing with me. When I consider options and solutions to my challenges, Mira is instrumental in offering me constructive feedback about what she hears. Specifically, she empowers me to challenge automatic negative thoughts that prevent me from moving past challenges. Mira’s coaching style helps me develop new awareness and insights and empowers me to design steps that move me forward. She is action-oriented and very in tune with my emotions. I feel positive after our discussions and look forward to upcoming sessions. If you are looking for a masterful coach, I’m extremely confident in Mira’s ability to assist you in meeting your goals.
Mira's coaching animated him with confidence and a sense of enabled self-empowerment.
— Parent of College Student at RISD
As a new year begins, I wanted to share the success YD has achieved, I think in no small part due to Mira’s support and coaching with him. The school year was critical to YD, as he gained self-assurance and independence and was asserting himself much more in controlling his own path. Mira’s coaching animated him with confidence and a sense of enabled self-empowerment.
I do not underestimate the importance of Mira as an essential part of YD’s inner circle of support at a critical time in his journey. I know how grateful I am, and I can see the difference that it has made for him to have the confidence to assert himself to grow and achieve his potential, such that he was prepared to step up and engage in an honors program opportunity. I will continue to advocate for your services and do not underestimate the value of allowing these young adults to seek and achieve their inner greatness. Thank you for believing in, sustaining, and supporting YD.
The use of research and evidence-backed strategies in Mira's coaching instills confidence and a sense of assurance that the techniques are not just hopeful speculation, but well-founded methods tailored to bring about real change.
— Tanya, Therapist
Before Coaching with Mira: I felt stuck in my sessions with a licensed therapist. Despite feeling validated, heard, and understood, I wasn’t making any progress in finding solutions to my challenges. Rather than letting my ADHD dictate my decisions, I wanted to take the reigns and be in the driver’s seat with myself.
Other Attempts to Address ADHD Challenges: I explored various avenues, including psychotherapy, online resources (i.e., YouTube and Reddit), and formal ADHD educational training through PESI. While I made some small gains, none of my attempts to address challenges offered a full perspective shift. My progress was inconsistent, at best, and unsustainable.
Transformation with Coaching: Working together brought a fundamental shift in my perspective. Focusing on the positive and on my character strengths, and celebrating weekly successes, transformed how I viewed myself. Prior to my coaching journey with Mira, I would begin every therapy conversation with a list of all the negative things that happened during my week. The experience was limited in scope, with a sole emphasis on unresolved issues. I'd treat it basically like an IT session for my brain. On the other hand, Mira’s strength-based approach, especially the weekly SPIRE check-ins, shifted my focus from dwelling on my struggles to acknowledging and celebrating what went well. This perspective shift from what’s wrong to what’s right has been monumental. I no longer see myself as someone who wrestles with ADHD symptoms; instead, I feel empowered to manage its impact effectively with a variety of strategies. I’ve realized that I am someone capable of succeeding in my endeavors and rewriting decades-old patterns.
Recommendation: I highly recommend these coaching services to anyone struggling with ADHD. It's not just about managing a diagnosis; it's about integrating it positively into our lives. I've already shared Mira’s contact with professionals for their clients needing ADHD, executive functioning, and positive psychology coaching. Her evidence-based strategies and applied practices instill confidence and offer realistic, effective coping mechanisms. We are not beholden to our ADHD diagnosis. It can be a wonderful part of who we are, and we can deal with the less wonderful parts as well.
Final Thoughts: The use of research and evidence-backed strategies in Mira’s coaching instills confidence and a sense of assurance that the techniques are not just hopeful speculation, but well-founded methods tailored to bring real change.
