Coaching Adolescents

Teens today carry more stress than ever—academic pressure, social anxiety, device overload, and many more.  Add a crowd of adults telling them what they “should” be doing and it’s no wonder so many feel lost.

Coaching vs. Therapy: Which Does My Teen Need?

“Therapy helps with your past. Coaching helps with your future.”

Therapy is essential for trauma and mental health treatment.

Coaching is the right fit when a teen is stable but stuck and needs support in taking action, building executive function, improving habits, or restarting life after a setback.

Many teens who resist therapy thrive in coaching because they’re treated as the expert on their own life.

How Teen Coaching Works?

In one-on-one virtual or offline sessions, your teen and the coach:

Will create a vision of their ideal life to ignite hope, then set small, self-directed goals that build momentum fast. Along the way, they will explore the strengths, values, and natural abilities that make them who they are and use those to turn challenges into tools for success.

It’s strategic, research-based, and customed to your child’s real life.

Core Areas of Support

Academic Success & Executive Function

This is a focus area for teens with missing assignments, poor follow-through, or declining grades. We identify the root causes, clarify goals, and build a personalized system for planning, studying, motivation, and independent work.

Anxiety Reduction

Teens with social, academic, or performance anxiety benefit from support in this area. We examine thoughts, perceptions, and patterns, then use proven, practical tools to calm their nervous system and build confidence.

Social Connections

For the teen struggling with friendships, peer groups, or communication, social connection is our focus. We clarify what they want socially, identify patterns getting in the way, and design a plan for connection that fits who they are.
