Meet Ivan Hardcastle

Occupational Therapist & ADHD Parent Coach

Hi, I’m Ivan Hardcastle. I help parents of teens with ADHD who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and stuck in constant conflict. Through my coaching program, I teach parents how to stay calm, regulate their emotions, and create the peaceful family life they’ve been longing for.

If you’re tired of yelling, arguing, and feeling like nothing works, you’re not alone—and you’re not a bad parent. You just need a better way to understand your child’s brain and your own nervous system. That’s where I come in.

CONNECT WITH ME

For more than twenty years, I’ve helped children and families thrive.

After graduating from Idaho State University in 2007, I began my career as an occupational therapist, helping kids who struggled with ADHD, autism, emotional regulation, sensory processing differences, dyslexia, and more.

Over and over, I saw the same truth:

when parents learned how to stay calm and connected, their children made the biggest progress

—both at home and at school.

That realization inspired me to expand my work. In 2024, I launched my ADHD and parent coaching program, designed for parents who want lasting change—not quick fixes.

My approach blends emotional regulation, mindfulness, and sensory strategies so parents can respond instead of react.

When you regulate your own emotions, your child learns to do the same.

Families rediscover connection, peace, and hope.

Today, I coach parents around the world through my group and individual programs.

I help moms of teens with ADHD become regulated emotionally so that their kids follow suit so that they can have the peaceful family life they always desired. 

At home, my wife and I have raised five amazing children—each with their own unique neurodivergent strengths and challenges.

I understand first hand how exhausting and beautiful parenting can be.

That’s why my coaching isn’t just theory—it’s lived experience backed by decades of clinical insight.

I invite you to connect with me here.

When I’m not working with families, I enjoy decorative woodworking, acting and directing in musical theater, biking, and exploring the natural wonders of the world.

If you’re ready to stop walking on eggshells and start feeling confident, connected, and calm again, I’d love to support you.

Ivan is the best parent coach. It's helpful as a single mom to have someone to bounce ideas off of that I feel confident won't steer me in the wrong direction. My children are benefiting so much from this and it gives me a lot of peace and confidence. -HT
