Coaching for Girls
A teen life coach creates a safe space for girls to share their triumphs, explore their struggles, seek answers and develop tools to create a life of confidence, success and happiness.
Why did Barb become a certified teen life coach?
She loves working with girls! They are so much fun! Her goals in her teen life coaching practice are to help girls really like who they are, to believe that they have something important to offer and to know that they are special, worthy and deserving of joy! Barb helps girls feel capable and equipped to face life’s challenges and to make it through the tough times with their self-esteem intact.
Barb coaches girls/young women ages 13 to 25. At this time, insurance does not reimburse for life coaching. Barb accepts checks for payment.
Barb, her clients and their families work together on a case-by-case basis to determine how often coaching sessions are scheduled. For the foundational package of six sessions (including the intake session), Barb meets with clients weekly. At that point, the frequency of subsequent sessions is determined.
Some things Barb coaches girls about:
- School stress and academic pressure
- Decision making
- Friendship challenges (growing apart, betrayal, conflicts, competition, etc.)
- Body image & self-acceptance
- Dating (choices, break-ups, sex, etc.)
- Family relationship challenges
- Confusion about the future and/or life goals
- Pressure from themselves and others
- Friends in trouble
- Self-destructive behavior and negative feelings about self
How to begin Teen Life Coaching:
- Conduct an inquiry call – a complimentary, 20 minute phone call to get a snapshot of what is going on with your daughter to determine whether coaching is the best solution for her.
- Conduct an intake session – a 90 minute session for parents to delve deeper into your daughter’s current challenges and history, to discuss how coaching works and to identify your goals for your daughter’s coaching. The cost for an intake session is $150 and can be applied toward a coaching package upon enrollment.
- Choose a life coaching package – Barb offers six and twelve week coaching packages and prefers to work with girls a minimum of three to six months to achieve the desired results.
