I love teens and work with them regularly, God has gifted me with such a heart to understand how much they just want to be heard. Being a Teen in todays world isn't an easy road; I understand this.  So many things to complicate and flood their minds leaving restlessness and uneasy feelings as well as negative self- talk.  This can lead to struggles in personality and behavior as well as self worth. Teens respect the advice of their parents but sometimes find it best to have someone of their own to talk to. If help isn't found many times it can lead to frustration or even worse. Through Counseling and Specialized Teen Life Coaching, we work to build self esteem through love and understanding. Helping both the teen and their parent communicate with each other in a more endearing fashion.

Your Teen may not know what he plans to be when he graduates from High School or perhaps he does and doesn't know what the demands are to get there.  High School counselors are excellent resources but with usually over 50-100 students to work with, you aren't always feeling like a priority. Understanding and knowing exactly what Universities and potential Scholarships are looking for becomes very important information.

I walk with your child from beginning in 9th grade until their first semester of college (even showing them how to use their portals and select professors and classes their first semester of college). Starting early is essential as many of our Junior Colleges in San Diego allow our students to take classes and receive dual credit for both High School and College.  Taking one History class is enough for anyone! Learning these things can save both money and time in the long run. Some of those I have worked with have been able to graduate from College in 3 years instead of the standard 5 years saving themselves and their parents thousands of dollars.
