Everyone Struggles with Organization and Motivation
We empower teens and young adults to meet these challenges
Our coaching and tutoring practice helps young people develop executive functioning and communication skills to meet their goals. We provide focused support that considers the whole person, their immediate challenges, and their social and emotional context.
We work with teens and young adults who are dealing with:
Completing academic work and meeting deadlines
Overcoming avoidance and getting started on tasks
Managing a busy or overwhelming schedule
Communicating more effectively with family, teachers, and peers
Coping with stress and staying focused under pressure
How it works
First
We start with a free 20-minute consultation call. This is a chance to talk through your particular situation and make sure we are the right fit.
Next
We provide an in-depth assessment.
We have a structured conversation with your teenager/young adult, and separately, with you as a parent. We want to collect objective information about the challenges, but also understand the context: strengths, interests, and social relationships. The assessment leads to a clear plan, grounded in evidence-based interventions.
And then we get to work
We match your teen or young adult with an experienced coach who is a good fit for their needs and their strengths. Our coaches often provide direct tutoring support, but their true expertise is in organizational and motivational challenges. In some cases, we also work directly with parents on how to communicate, set boundaries, and step back in strategic ways.
We develop a flexible plan that works for you. In most cases, we suggest weekly virtual sessions with phone or text check-ins over a three month period. We can also offer in-person meetings in the Milwaukee area.
Who this is for
We work with teens and young adults on a variety of academic, organizational, and executive functioning challenges.
Some examples of the people who benefit from our approach:
A high school student who is capable but consistently handing in work late
A first-year college student struggling to adjust to the independence of college work
A student with ADHD who has trouble initiating schoolwork
A teen who is avoiding work because of anxiety, but for whom therapy is not the right fit.
A teen or young adult who needs accountability and structure, but not from their parents
When we are not the right fit
Our practice is not the right fit if a teen or young adult's primary challenges stem from an untreated mental health condition. In those cases, we're happy to try to help connect families with appropriate resources.
