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.

Increase Confidence, Focus, & Emotional Regulation with Life Optimization
& Neurodiversity
Frazzled? Unfocused? Emotionally dysregulated? Although we want to be stable and caring partners, parents, employees, bosses, and friends, it's easy to get stuck in unproductive patterns and erratic behaviors that seem beyond our control. And despite our inborn capacities and environmental influences, we expect ourselves to naturally have excellent focus, time management skills,
and emotional intelligence. Yet, in truth, human issues–including neurodiversity and environmental influences–can make it tough (or seemingly impossible) to handle life's myriad tasks and stressors with ease. In fact, most of us can benefit from support and guidance to learn the skills and strategies that will help us get out of our own way and maximize our capacities.
Join Dr. Carla and neurodiversity expert Dr. Gretchen Pound for an uplifting journey into the art of using self-awareness to create a happier and healthier life. Topics discussed include focus, impulsivity, emotional regulation, anger management, self-awareness, mindfulness, stress tolerance, time management, self-confidence, emotional regulation, neurodiversity, ADHD, ASD (autism spectrum disorders), yoga, somatic awareness, breathing exercises, and mindfulness.
Note: Listener discretion is advised as sensitive topics are discussed.
