Welcome to Bolster Coaching
Support for teens and young adults and those that care about them.
Executive Function and Life Coaching to help young people get unstuck, build confidence, and move toward the life they want.
You want what's best for your teen or young adult. They want to feel better, do better, or figure things out.
At Bolster Coaching, we support both.
If your teen or young adult is feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what’s next, and you're feeling stressed, shut out, or out of ideas, coaching can help.
We work with young people who are:
-
Struggling to stay organized, motivated, or confident
-
Avoiding responsibilities or stuck in a cycle of stress and shutdown
-
Feeling pressure to “figure out their future” but don’t know where to start
-
Navigating ADHD, anxiety, or transitions like high school, college, or gap years
-
Seeking something different from friendships and other relationships
-
Wanting change but unsure how to get there
For Teens and Young Adults
Coaching is a space just for you to figure things out, without judgement or pressure. Coaching helps you:
-
Manage time, tasks, and motivation
-
Communicate with teachers, professors, & parents
-
Make decisions aligned with your goals
-
Build routines that actually work for your brain
-
Explore your values and what’s next
-
Take steps toward the future you want
For Parents
Coaching from a trusted adult, who isn't you, can bring relief and results:
-
Fewer fights and less nagging
-
Improved follow-through and communication
-
A break from always keeping your kid on track
-
Confidence that your child is being supported
-
Insight into what your child is thinking and needing
-
More connection, less conflict
Managing school, navigating college life, improving relationships, or figuring out what's next, coaching provides the BOLSTER needed for young people to thrive.
