Personalized Coaching for Teen & preteen students

Wellness Coaching and Life Coaching can help our teens and preteens become more confident, develop healthier habits, learn to manage their emotions, their stress, and their anxiety, cope with changing friendships, handle challenges resiliently, and more! Coaching gives your child a safe, open space to talk about their experiences and the struggles they feel, as well as to develop goals, create an action plan for changes, and learn tools that they can use throughout everyday life.

Academic Coaching can help your teen or preteen especially if he/she is struggling in school. Academic Coaching focuses on the current state of their school performance, things that they would like to change, and ways in which they can reach their full potential as a student. We will set clear and attainable goals, work towards improvements in small steps, and create organizational systems that your teen can use to help them become a more successful student. 

Yes! Academic Coaching is not just for students who are struggling academically. Some of our most high-performing students feel overwhelmed with stress, anxiety about their grades, and perfectionism. Academic Coaching can help your son or daughter approach school with a calmer outlook, use strategies to reframe their thoughts and self-talk, and stay organized and on top of their game without sacrificing self-care and well-being. 

Coaching sessions are $150 per session. All sessions are held via zoom, and are 50 minutes in length, usually once a week (sometimes clients prefer twice a week, which is an option as well). I usually recommend an 8-10 week commitment to weekly sessions, and sessions can be purchased individually or as part of package. We can discuss packages during our consultation call. 

During our 20 minute consultation call, I will answer all of your questions about coaching, and how it can help your teen/preteen. I will ask you to give me an overview of your child's current situation, and the areas in which you feel they need help. I will also be able to give you a general idea of how I can help with coaching. There is NO obligation with this phone call - it is just for your information and so that you can feel fully informed before making a decision about whether coaching is right for your child!

Coaching is not a medical or healthcare service, so I am not able to take insurance for these services. 

Coaching and therapy are not the same thing, and no, I am not a psychologist, psychiatrist, or therapist. As a coach, I do not treat psychological disorders, or discuss medication or treatment plans. 

My qualifications as a school counselor, certified professional coach, and yoga and meditation teacher allow me to work with students on life skills that help them become better versions of themselves and perform at their best academically, socially, and emotionally. 

If your child is struggling with a psychological disorder such as clinical depression, a diagnosed anxiety disorder, eating disorder, substance abuse, recovery from physical or sexual abuse, PTSD, or any other diagnosed psychological disorder, therapy with a psychologist or psychiatrist would be the more appropriate route. 

If you have any questions about this, or would like to discuss your individual circumstances in more detail to determine the most appropriate route for you and your child, please feel free to schedule a consultation call and I am happy to discuss it with you in full detail!
