Everyone Struggles with Organization and Motivation

We empower young adults to meet these challenges

Between home and school, you need a village. 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 12-week period. We then assess progress and reconsider the plan.

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 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, or if the main concerns are behavioral rather than skill-based. In those cases, we're happy to try to help connect families with appropriate resources.
