@LittleBlueYugo, it sounds like an ADD Coach really would be the most help to you.
Many ADD Coaches (including my own) are also registered Psychologists, using CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) as well as their ADHD-specific coaching expertise, to help patients.
If you were to find such a Coach, and to present the matter to your EAP as, “I really need a highly specialized Psychologist—and such highly specialized Psychologists are hard to find, so I did the searching myself, to spare the EAP the trouble of having to do so”, maybe then your EAP would cover the cost.
If you need documentation to support how much more effective ADHD-specific CBT is in treating ADHD in adults, than just treating it with medication or with non-ADHD-specific CBT, here’s some: http://db.tt/7glxkPcs.
When your EAP says the inevitable, “Why should we pay for this?”, you can give them some concrete data.
