I’m Caitlin O’Brient Bauer, an advanced certified ADHD Coach trained by the ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA), founder of SF ADHD Coach, entrepreneur, speaker, mental health advocate, & member of the ICF. I offer ADHD, AuDHD, business, and executive coaching for adults in the San Francisco Bay Area (and beyond), with a focus on women in tech, entrepreneurs, new moms, and creatives. I particularly enjoy providing business mentorship for new coaches.
My approach is collaborative and deeply personalized—it begins and ends with your unique formula for success. I can help you understand how your brain works, uncover your strengths, clarify what matters most, and start taking aligned, sustainable action.
I was diagnosed with ADHD at 8 and late-diagnosed Autistic. It took finding genuine interest in my first love, the theatre, to start engaging my strengths and growing beyond the limitations of my “condition.” I went on to earn a BFA in Musical Theatre from the University of Miami (Go Canes!) and worked professionally as a performer before founding and running a digital marketing and web design agency for over a decade.
I began to feel the pull toward a career change before my daughter was born in late 2019. But it was the overlap of early motherhood and a global pandemic that finally forced me to slow down. That unexpected pause created space I might not have otherwise claimed—to reflect, recalibrate, and reimagine my path. It led me to ADHD coaching, where I’ve been able to integrate my lived experience as an AuDHD adult, my entrepreneurial background, and my love of human connection into work that feels both sustainable and meaningful.
As a coach and multiply neurodivergent (AuDHD: Autistic + ADHD) person, I deeply value having an honest, kind, and fiercely compassionate partner to navigate the ups and downs of the neurodivergent journey. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space for exploration and connection, so that you can begin to unmask and start living a more authentic life.
