What is the process of teen coaching?
In weekly 50-minute virtual coaching sessions, I guide teenagers in evaluating different aspects of their lives. We identify areas of contentment and areas for improvement.
Together, we envision their ideal future to foster hope—imagining how it would look and feel. Subsequently, we establish small, self-directed goals to move closer to that vision.
Throughout the process, we explore the qualities that shape the individual—their strengths, values, and personality type—and transform their challenges and weaknesses into tools for creating the life they aspire to.

Therapy is suitable for addressing trauma and diagnosable mental health issues, while teen coaching is effective for proactively enhancing a satisfactory yet suboptimal life.
Benefits of Teen Coaching:
1. Proactive Approach: Teen coaching empowers adolescents to take proactive steps towards personal growth and goal achievement.
2. Focus on Future: Coaching helps teens envision their ideal future, set goals, and develop strategies to reach their full potential.
3. Strengths-Based: Teen coaching emphasizes identifying and leveraging strengths to overcome challenges and build confidence.
4. Self-Directed Growth: Through coaching, teenagers learn to take ownership of their growth journey and make positive changes independently.
Benefits of Therapy:
1. Addressing Trauma: Therapy provides a safe space for adolescents to address trauma, mental health concerns, and emotional struggles.
2. Diagnosis and Treatment: Therapists offer clinical expertise to diagnose and treat mental health conditions effectively.
3. Emotional Support: Therapy offers emotional support, coping strategies, and tools to manage stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues.
4. Healing and Recovery: Therapeutic interventions focus on healing past wounds, promoting self-awareness, and fostering emotional well-being.
Both teen coaching and therapy play essential roles in supporting teenagers' mental health and personal development. Understanding the benefits of each approach can help parents and adolescents make informed decisions to address their unique needs effectively.
