The process…

3. Close with clarity

We end by acknowledging what you did and naming the next small step. Progress is defined by movement, not perfection.

For a set amount of time, you work while someone else stays present. Gentle structure that helps your nervous system settle so focus can happen.

2. Work with support

The Focus Hour™

The Focus Hour™ is a therapist facilitated work session designed to help you start and stay with tasks that feel difficult to complete on your own. It offers structured support, gentle accountability, and nervous system informed focus without pressure or shame.

Many people find that just a few sessions help them build momentum and learn how to work more independently. Others return as needed for specific tasks that tend to trigger avoidance or overwhelm. There is no expectation of ongoing sessions. You choose how to use the support.

Each session includes brief task clarification, a protected hour of quiet or conversational support, and a short closing to acknowledge progress and next steps.

Price: $95 per session
Package options available for ongoing support.

What Sources Are Saying…


“Body doubling is more than a quirky productivity trick. It’s a reminder that even when we’re working apart, we’re still human. We crave connection, we focus better with structure, and we thrive when we feel seen.”

-Forbes

“Body doubling gives your brain structure without pressure, helping you ease into action naturally”.

-American Psychological Association. 

“Body doubling ‘makes showing up and staying on task easier’ and allows individuals to ‘let the human desire to save face do the heavy lifting’.”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Focus Hour™ is a structured, supportive work session designed to help you start and stay with a task. It combines gentle accountability, presence, and a set time frame so your brain does not have to do all the work alone.

  • The Focus Hour™ is not a traditional therapy session. While it is facilitated by a licensed therapist, it is task focused. In some cases, insurance may be an option depending on how services are structured and individual eligibility. We encourage you to contact us directly so we can determine whether insurance can be used.

  • Almost anything you have been avoiding or struggling to start. Common tasks include emails, paperwork, creative work, household tasks, planning, or simply getting unstuck. You choose the task. Focus Hour sessions are typically one 50 minutes long and can be used in whatever way best supports you during that time. You may focus on a single task or move between a few related tasks as needed. The time is yours to use in a way that feels supportive.

  • No. Many people work quietly for most or all of the session. Conversation is optional and can be included if it feels helpful or supportive for you. The session is flexible and adapts to what best supports your focus that day.

  • That is completely okay. Success is not measured by completion. The goal is progress, awareness, and reducing avoidance. We end by noticing what did happen and identifying a realistic next step.

  • The Focus Hour ™ is especially helpful for adults with ADHD, anxiety, burnout, or decision fatigue, but a clinical diagnosis is not required. It is for people who know what they need to do but struggle to start or stay with it on their own and want supportive structure.
