Testimonials

When I first met Matt, I lacked the motivation to even get out of bed. He reflected back to me my best qualities, helping me to develop self compassion and positive habits. Now I have the confidence I need to be successful academically, socially, and happy about my life in general.

I would not be the person I am today without Matt’s amazing support! - Alex

Our son has been struggling with self doubt, authority issues, and how to handle the overwhelming emotions of growing up in a world that is controlled by social media. Matt has gone above and beyond in teaching him how to allow himself to feel his feelings and navigate through them. Matt is also helping him learn and understand self discipline, routine, and sportsmanship through basketball. The work in such a short amount of time is absolutely amazing! - Liz

Teens will learn...

Self Compassion

Self compassion is the most important practice teens will ever learn in their lifetime. It will help them get through internal and external challenges alike.

Teens are surrounded by a constant barrage of messages that tell them "You're not good enough." We'll discuss how powerful these messages are, where they come from, and why self-compassion - and not comparing yourself to others - is an essential survival tool in today's world.

Responsibility

Instead of "freedom," we'll explore and practice "responsibility," which will show teens there's a tremendous amount of freedom that comes from responsibility. Joy and freedom don't arise magically, but are learned through healthy habits, daily disciplines and - yes - even hard work.

Life Skills

This mentoring program, founded on the principles of Safety, Connection and Dignity, guides teens in practicing creating healthy habits, making wise friendships and managing social media. It provides essential wisdom about the mind and body, teaching teens to respond skillfully to their inner world. By addressing the myth of "self-made success," it underscores the importance of seeking help from teachers, coaches, or mentors for happiness and success.

Action

Often, the self improvement process is focused on insights or "a-ha" moments. Instead, Teenager 101 emphasizes new habits to replace the older ones that no longer serve us.

What We'll Do

The mentoring program begins by exploring the anxieties teens have about their lives and the challenges they face. The focus then shifts to the various solutions available to move our mindset from “victim” to “victor.” Instead of focusing on the constant winds of change that often blow teens about, they'll discover something new and exciting – that they can begin authoring their own lives. With this knowledge, they’ll explore a variety of tools available to help them. Our focus will be equal parts insight and action. .

Teens thrive when they embrace habits that strengthen their resolve and create a stronger foundation.
