Creative people also have messy processes.”

Whether it’s ADHD, burnout, or just the quirks of a brilliant mind...

The messiness of a creative brain can hold us back ­— unless we learn to work with it!

I help my clients ditch imposter syndrome and stop playing small through customized 1:1 Life Coaching and ADHD Coaching.

Are you an established or aspiring creative professional who wants to flourish in work, school, and life?

You’re in the right place!

Life Coach Summer Varde looks to the right

Hi, I’m Summer Varde.

I’m a seasoned architect in Los Angeles with ADHD.

If you have a creative mind and are struggling to keep it together as a “professional” - believe me - I get it.

Therapy and other cutting-edge methods were critical in helping me understand how my unique brain works. Now I feel so much more relaxed juggling work, goals, creativity, deadlines, and my relationships.

The coaching I do with my clients is founded in evidence-based techniques from psychology, behavioral science, and neuroscience. Together we delve into the visual, emotional, and allegorical places of the mind in order to solve problems, achieve goals, and grow as human beings.

My clients are creative thinkers who find themselves struggling with the demands of managing their time, work, mindset, projects, people, and themselves.

You will be able to finally do what you know you ought to do. Self-compassion and confidence will be easier - transforming how you show up in every aspect of your life.

  • ALICE NEARY + MARKETING CONSULTANT

    “When I started coaching with Summer, I was dealing with overwhelm and imposter syndrome working for myself for the first time. I tried traditional therapy but found it did not touch enough on my daily struggles as an ADHD entrepreneur. I wanted to invest in myself and my business. Summer's coaching really helped me navigate the underlying emotions - I was getting in my own way! She helped me break through my work-related mental blocks and to find joy and celebrate the small wins along the way. If you are feeling stuck or feel like you have potential to grow in your career, services or elsewhere, Summer can help you uncover your potential. I recommend her absolutely!”

  • MORGAN PHILLIPS + PHOTOGRAPHER

    As a professional photographer, losing the desire to create was devastating, thankfully someone recommended Summer to me. Summer helped me find my creative groove again after I went through a hard time. Her knowledge about my neurodivergence and being a creative person was the perfect combination to get me going again. I truly couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone needing to get back in the swing of things!

  • MATT S.

    "I started working with Summer as a grad student, while working full time, starting a business, moving, and beginning a relationship. My ADHD symptoms (and anxiety) were at their highest and I needed help with my time management skills, sleep, and emotional regulation. She listened and shared helpful techniques that empowered me to gain control of everything on my plate. Coaching with Summer was worth it!”

  • HOLLY S.

    "I was new to coaching and I can happily report that my experience with Summer far exceeded what I thought was possible. Summer is sincere and non-judgemental. Each session identified meaningful opportunities for change and growth. If you’re on the fence about coaching or are looking for a new coach, I highly recommend working with Summer.”

  • JOLA CORA + ACTRESS + WRITER

    "Summer has an incredible gift. She allowed me to open myself, free my thoughts and bring such clarity to my life. She is so present, supportive and soothing; I strongly recommend her, she truly is a magician.”

  • THERESA F.

    “Summer is a truly gifted coach. Her calm demeanor and compassionate questions really helped me to see my issues with better clarity. I was able to develop and commit to workable solutions for several areas of my life, professional as well as personal wellness. I would definitely recommend coaching with Summer as a valuable investment in yourself, and I know from experience that personal change always affects the rest of our relationships. Summer can work with you to achieve your goals.”
