Youth Life Coaching and Strategizing
Helping youth and young people find their spark again and helping you breathe a little easier
Is your teen pulling away—quiet, anxious, overwhelmed, or glued to a screen? Maybe they’ve lost motivation, seem afraid to try, or are constantly battling perfectionism and self-doubt. You miss their joy. You feel worried, maybe even helpless.
You’re not alone...
As a youth-centered life strategist and coach, Dr. Haynes specialize in helping youth and young people navigate this transitional period of life and (re)connect with their strengths, their joy, and the people who care most about them.
Whether your youth is struggling with anxiety, motivation, friendships, soft skill development, or just trying to find their place as they navigate through life, I’m here to support you both.
I offer strategic support rooted in expertise, compassion, and results:
🛋️ A Space That Feels Safe and Authentic, Not Just Clinical
This isn’t therapy—but it is transformative. I offer a space where youth and young people can feel respected, not analyzed, and where parents/caregivers feel understood, not judged. I meet your family where you are—with warmth, sensitivity, and an unwavering belief in your capacity for change.
🧠 In-Depth Understanding of Youth and Young People
I don’t just work with youth and young people—I understand them. Drawing from evidence-based approaches in research, I decode what’s really driving actions. I support youth and young people on their journey to find clarity, confidence, and a path forward that feels authentic—not forced.
📁 Advanced Strategies for Youth That Actually Work
I specialize in helping youth and young people move from reactive behaviors to more responsive ones. With insight into family dynamics, coaching models, and youth experiences, I support youth and young people in improving their ability to know what to say, when to step back, and how to break cycles that no longer serve them or their family.
🧩 Tailored Plans, Not Templates
Every coaching journey is customized. I build individualized strategies based on each youth and young person’s personality, learning style, lived reality, and unique challenges, aligning them with their values and long-term goals.
🫂 Dual-Focus Coaching: Because You Matter Too
Too often, parents and caregivers are left to figure it out alone. Not here. My approach balances support for youth and young people with support for you. Because the most sustainable progress happens when everyone in the family feels seen, supported, and equipped.
So, here’s what’s possible:
Honest, open communication between you and your youth
A shift from withdrawal to motivation and action
Confidence that quiets anxiety and silences self-doubt
A clearer path forward—and a brighter outlook for both of you
This work is personal. It’s intentional. And it’s not one-size-fits-all.
Everyone is different. Every family is different. That’s why I don’t offer generic strategies. I offer personalized coaching and strategic guidance tailored to each unique situation.
You care deeply. That’s why you’re here. Now let’s take the next step, together.
Reach out today and let’s begin a journey toward healing, connection, and hope.
Because your youth deserves to shine. And you deserve to see it happen.
