What if my Teen is Reluctant or Doesn't Think They Want/Need "Therapy"?

It's completely understandable that some teens may not initially feel comfortable with the idea of engaging in a coaching/mentor relationship. Respecting their feelings and not pushing them into something they're not ready for is essential. However, it's important to recognize that coaching/mentoring is different from therapy and can be a valuable resource for helping your teenager become the best version of themselves.

One approach to encouraging your teen to explore coaching/mentoring is to involve them in the decision-making process. Consider scheduling a discovery call with Ashley, and allow your teen to ask questions and get to know her. This initial interaction can help your teen feel more at ease and understand that coaching is a supportive, empowering experience.

It might also be helpful to reframe coaching/mentoring as a personalized course or program designed to help your teen feel better and achieve their specific goals. Emphasize that the coaching/mentoring process is all about addressing what matters most to your teenager, not anyone else. This individualized approach is what makes teen coaching incredibly effective. Your teen can begin to see positive results right away, and this early progress can be a strong motivator for continued engagement, leading to even better outcomes.

Ultimately, the decision to explore the coaching/mentoring relationship should be made by your teen. It's vital to approach this conversation with empathy and understanding, offering support and resources without applying pressure. By empowering your teenager to make this choice, you're giving them the opportunity to take control of their personal growth and well-being, while knowing that they have a supportive and experienced coach like Ashley to guide them on their journey.
