How does coaching work?

  • Free 20-minute Initial Consultation – connect virtually or by phone to see if we are a good fit

  • Goal Identification - create a vision of your ideal future – what’s working now?  what feels off? Then set small goals that build immediate momentum, often within the first 30 days. Your goals will determine the plan, including the number of sessions (often 4-6, sometimes more) 

    • Typical areas of focus include:

      • Confidence and self-esteem

      • Motivation

      • Stress Management

      • Social challenges

      • Decision-making and future planning

  • Personalized Virtual Sessions with focused discussions led by the client. Identify and explore your natural strengths and values and learn to use them to tackle obstacles. Create action steps complete with accountability strategies. 

  • Unlimited text or email support for the duration of the coaching plan.

Coaching Vs. Therapy: which one should you choose?

Therapy focuses on the past, coaching focuses on the future

Therapy is important for mental health issues

Coaching is for young people who are stable but stuck, need support to take action

Coaching treats them like experts in their own lives!
