Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts. (Winston Churchill)
Chani Scharf's style
💙 Warm 👂 Listener 💡 Solution-oriented 🥇 Empowering 🤝 CollaborativeWhy Chani Scharf chose to be in the helping profession
With nearly three decades in the helping field, my career began as a Speech-Language Pathologist and evolved into what I find most meaningful today: coaching.
As a certified Life Coach with advanced training in ADHD coaching, I support individuals navigating ADHD and Executive Function challenges — helping them develop strategies that strengthen daily functioning, focus, productivity, and follow-through.
I also work with women navigating midlife transitions, brain fog, productivity challenges, and emotional well-being.
My mission is to help clients develop practical tools and real-life skills so they can feel less overwhelmed, manage daily life more effectively, and feel more emotionally balanced, grounded, and capable.
Chani Scharf's approach
My approach is warm, compassionate, practical, and strength-based. We’ll work with how your brain is wired — not against it — and develop strategies that truly support you in daily life. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood and supported.
Are you…
• feeling “stuck” and wishing you could move forward in important areas of life?
• overwhelmed by thoughts, emotions, or never-ending to-do’s?
• struggling to prioritize, stay organized, or keep up with daily responsibilities?
• finding it hard to start tasks, stay focused, or follow through — even when you really want to?
• forgetting details, losing track of time, or feeling scattered and frustrated with yourself?
• having trouble making decisions or feeling like others “manage life” more easily than you do?
What you can expect from sessions with Chani Scharf
In our collaborative, non-judgmental, and productive sessions, we’ll identify what’s getting in your way, clarify what matters most, and break goals into manageable steps. Together, we’ll problem-solve, build on your strengths, and implement practical techniques to help you move forward, feel more empowered, and live a more balanced life.
Chani Scharf's experience working with the Jewish community
Throughout my professional career, I’ve had the privilege of working with the frum community, building connections and gaining valuable insights. My goal is to help individuals feel supported, understood, and able to make meaningful progress one step at a time.

What people have to say about working with me:
-
One of the most notable things that my work with Chani Scharf helped me with, was to institute positive changes into my day to day life and stick to them until they formed into habits. She also opened my eyes to how important it is to recognize and celebrate growth at every stage in the process. I've come so far in my understanding of adhd in general and in how my mind works in particular and I'm so grateful.

Working with Chani has been such a helpful experience! I learned and am continuing to learn how to organize my busy life so that I am more productive as a mother of young children. I now have techniques that are tailored to my ADHD brain and personal preferences so that tasks in my daily life feel more manageable. With Chani’s positive and encouraging guidance, I feel respected and am learning to understand myself as well. I am guided in a non-pressuring way that fits my lifestyle and preferences while increasing my productivity and organization. I really feel I’m on the path to becoming a more productive, organized version of myself :)

Working with Mrs. Scharf was such a game-changer for me. She truly opened my eyes, and I still use the skills and tools I gained from our sessions. I’ve become much more organized and, as a result, calmer and more confident, all thanks to her guidance and support.
