What is teen life coaching?

Teen life coaching is a one-on-one partnership where your teenager figures out who they are, what they want, and how to get there — with a youth life coach walking alongside them. It's not therapy. It's not tutoring. At Heart Harbor Coaching, I work with high school students and college students in Maine and online on the things that actually matter to them: confidence, direction, identity, relationships, school stress, and the transitions that don't come with instructions.

How is coaching different from therapy?

Therapy focuses on healing — it takes a client from struggling to functioning. Coaching focuses on growth and takes the client from functioning to thriving. A therapist works with mental health conditions, processes trauma, and provides clinical treatment. Coaching works with teens and young adults who are functional but stuck, overwhelmed, or trying to build something.

How long does coaching take to work?

Most clients start noticing real shifts within the first few sessions. The six-week Compass Block gives you a solid foundation. The twelve-week Voyage Block is for deeper work and longer-term momentum.

Is coaching appropriate if my teen already sees a therapist?

Yes — and it's honestly a great combination. Therapy supports mental health and healing. Coaching builds skills, motivation, and forward momentum. Coaching doesn't replace therapy — it runs alongside it.

What happens on the Discovery Call?

Fifteen minutes. No paperwork, no commitment, no awkward sales pitch. You talk, I listen. If you're a parent, tell me what you're seeing with your teen. If you're reaching out for yourself, tell me where you're stuck. I'll tell you honestly whether coaching seems like a good fit — and if it isn't, I'll say so and point you somewhere that might help more.

Are sessions confidential?

Yes. What happens in our sessions stays in our sessions. For teen clients, parents don't automatically have access to the details of what we talk about. I'll share general themes with parents when it's helpful and when your teen is comfortable with that. If I'm ever concerned about safety, I will always act on it.

What happens in a coaching session?

A calm, structured fifty-minute conversation where you — or your teen — is in the driver's seat. We might work on a specific goal, talk through something that's been getting in the way, or build a concrete plan for what comes next. You choose the focus. You leave with something real.

What is coaching for emerging adults?

Coaching for emerging adults is a one-on-one partnership built around where you actually are: maybe you have a degree and no idea what to do with it, maybe you know what you want but can't seem to make it happen, maybe you just feel stuck in a way you can't quite name. I work with young adults on direction, confidence, career decisions, relationships, and the gap between where you are and where you thought you'd be by now.

One-on-One Coaching

We begin with an intake session to clarify where you are, what feels difficult, and where you want to go. From there, each 50-minute session is shaped around the direction you set.

You set the direction. I hold the space.
Ideal for:
Teens dealing with school stress, motivation struggles, confidence issues, friendship challenges, or a semester that feels harder than it should.

We begin with an intake session to clarify where you are, what feels difficult, and where you want to go. From there, each 50-minute session is shaped around the direction you set.
Between sessions, you’ll have access to message support if something comes up. At the end of each session, you’ll decide on your own next step — something practical, personal, and connected to what we discussed.

Group Coaching

Six weeks. Six sessions. A small group — four people maximum — moving through similar terrain at the same time.
We begin with an intake session to clarify where you are, what feels difficult, and where you want to go. From there, each 75-minute session is shaped around the shared direction of the group.
Between sessions, you’ll have access to message support if something comes up. At the end of each session, you’ll decide on your own next step — something practical, personal, and connected to what we discussed.
There’s something that happens in a small group that doesn’t happen one-on-one. You realize you’re not the only one. That matters.
You set the direction. I hold the space.
Ideal for:
Teens and emerging adults struggling with school stress, motivation, confidence, social anxiety, friendships, loneliness, emotional overwhelm, or uncertainty about what comes next — and who would benefit from connection, support, and guided conversation with peers experiencing similar challenges.
Groups form around shared themes. Current group availability and themes are listed below.
Investment: $400 per person. Includes six 75-minute sessions over six weeks.
Starts with a free 15-minute free call.
