Teen Counseling

Teen coaching/counseling provides a safe, trusting environment in which the teenager can express his/her thoughts and feelings and learn new skills to communicate better, manage emotions and create new strategies to help them adjust to situations.  Keeping a teenager engaged and talking is a primary goal of development.  Coaching/counseling sessions can help teenagers who are depressed, anxious, struggling in school, using marijuana or alcohol, fighting with friends or parents, and other stressors make healthy choices.  The coach and teen work together to identify what the teen wants to achieve and then develop a plan to help them get there.

In teen coaching/counseling, we do not dwell on the reasons, because we want to avoid this negative outcome.  Instead, we focus on the future, because no matter what has happened in the past, any person can make it better and learn to achieve, grow and be happy.  Teen coaching/counseling deals with the things that are important to the teens, not to anybody else.  This makes teen coaching/counseling incredibly effective, because you and your teen can see positive results right away and this encourages teens to continue, so they get better and better results.  At the same time, their confidence grows, until they feel you can handle just about anything, and then they are happy.

Parents cannot attend the teen coaching/counseling sessions as they are designed to empower the teen and allow him/her to develop skills to increase their emotional intelligence and improve their health, wellbeing and success.  This process is only possible without the presence of the parent during the session.  However, we believe that parents involvement and participation, through the teen’s homework and activities is essential to the teen’s success therefore we incorporated assignments for the teens to complete that will allow you to be involved and aware of every aspect of the program.  Our privacy policy does not allow us to disclose any information you share with us to anyone, including your teen and vice versa.  We will not be able to disclose any information your teen shares with us, though we will encourage an open conversation between you to allow you to share your thoughts and feelings with each other in a healthy and supportive way.

Teen coaching/counseling gives the teen the knowledge of what they need to do, the tools that help them do it and the support and guidance they need along the way until they gain control over their mind, body and soul.  The coach/counselor will stay with them as long as they want and help them implement those new skills.  All the components required to jumpstart their legacy.
