About Me
Karen Spiridellis
As a graduate of the Empowering Students Through Coaching program at JST Coaching & Training, I've undergone rigorous and research-based training in life coaching and ADHD/neurodiversity coaching. This comprehensive 90-hour International Coach Federation (ICF) Level 1 accredited program, which includes mandatory mentoring and a coaching skills assessment leading to an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential, has equipped me with a strong foundation in professional coaching skills. Focused on ICF core competencies, the training delves into neurodiversity coaching, addressing the specific needs of clients with ASD, ADHD, executive function challenges, and co-existing conditions. As a graduate of the JST Coaching Model, the world's only research-based student coach training, I am well-prepared to make a meaningful impact on clients' lives. The program's emphasis on neurodiversity fosters inclusivity and creates a supportive environment, allowing me to recognize and celebrate each client's unique strengths and talents.
Previous Experience
In addition to being a certified life coach, my professional journey includes completing coursework towards a Master's in Social Work, with fieldwork assignments in mental health. I've served as a Rehabilitation Counselor, providing guidance for clients with mental health diagnoses making the move from transitional housing to independent living. I've also been actively engaged in community service as a member of Ridgefield ABC (RABC) Board of Directors, a non-profit organization providing talented and highly motivated young women of color educational, social and cultural enrichment opportunities otherwise not available to them, as well as founding the first community chapter in Larchmont/Mamaroneck of Lion's Heart Service Organization, a national youth volunteer organization.

My goal is to empower you on your transformative journey, helping you unlock your true potential and achieve your academic, professional, and personal goals. Let's embark on this journey together!
