Life Coaching for Teens

Not all teens need therapy. Many make great progress when they know they have someone in their corner, someone they can trust with their ideas as well as their insecurities, someone they can bounce ideas off, someone who can help them set goals and more improtantly achieve them! That's what Supportive Life Coaching is all about. We care and they know it!

How is teen coaching conducted?

Supportive Life Coaching offers individual and occasionally group coaching sessions via phone or online. Email and texts are used often between sessions. Many of our teens enjoy the online option, especially those who have a hard time communicating or expressing their feelings and thoughts verbally.
