Here are answers to some of the most common questions about our teen coaching services:
How do I know if my teen needs coaching? Signs that your teen might benefit from coaching include struggling with motivation, difficulty managing stress or anxiety, challenges with social relationships, academic underperformance despite ability, lack of direction or goals, or simply wanting to maximize their potential.
What's the difference between coaching and therapy? Coaching is forward-focused and goal-oriented, helping teens develop skills and strategies for success. Therapy typically addresses mental health concerns and past traumas. Our coaches work with healthy teens who want to improve their performance and well-being.
How long does coaching typically last? The length of coaching varies depending on individual goals and needs. Some teens see significant progress in 6-8 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support over several months. We work with each family to determine the best approach.
Are sessions confidential? Yes, we maintain confidentiality with our teen clients while keeping parents appropriately informed about progress and any safety concerns. We discuss our confidentiality policy with both teens and parents at the beginning of our work together.
Do you offer online sessions? Yes, we offer both in-person and virtual coaching sessions to accommodate different preferences and schedules. Many teens actually prefer online sessions as they feel more comfortable in their own environment.
What if my teen is resistant to coaching? It's normal for teens to be hesitant about coaching initially. Our coaches are skilled at building rapport and trust with reluctant teens. We often start with a brief consultation to help teens understand how coaching can benefit them.
How much does coaching cost? Our rates vary depending on the coach and type of service. Individual sessions typically range from $95-120 per hour. We also offer package deals and payment plans to make our services accessible to more families.
Do you work with teens who have ADHD, anxiety, or other conditions? Yes, our coaches are experienced working with teens who have various learning differences and mental health conditions. We coordinate with other professionals as needed and adapt our approaches to meet individual needs.
