The Many Faces of Neurodiversity

About Dr. Gretchen Pound

Gretchen Pound, PhD

Founder

Healthier Life Coaching

I'm Dr. Gretchen Pound, and I empower my clients who are on the spectrum of neurodiversity to build a happier and healthier life. After working with symptomatic adults 18 and older for 23 years, I've realized that they have a lot to offer employers--and many become successful business owners and entrepreneurs. As a professional business owner with ADHD myself, I know how difficult it can be to stay focused and organized. With coaching, there are ways to develop self-esteem, confidence and improve your executive level skills.

​

I was born and raised in Buffalo, New York. As my career led me off to the West Coast, in my spare time I now thrive in San Diego with my young man and husband child. We enjoy yoga, hiking, rock climbing and other exciting outdoors activities.

​

I hope you will call on me to help you get your life on track with professional coaching, including career / work strategies and fun lifestyle hacks.
