Guiding You and Your Child Towards Success

Are you a parent seeking practical strategies and clear guidance to help your child thrive? Do you feel overwhelmed by the complexities of navigating various systems – from securing a scholarship to understanding special needs services? Our coaching services at Real Honest Therapy are designed to equip you with the practical skills and actionable plans needed to empower your child's journey.

What is Coaching?

Coaching is a forward-looking, goal-oriented partnership focused on unlocking potential and achieving specific outcomes. Unlike therapy, which often delves into past experiences, coaching is all about the present and future. We work with individuals who are generally functional but are looking to enhance their performance, develop new skills, and reach their full potential.

How We Work:

  • Goal-Oriented: We'll help you define clear, measurable goals for your child and create a roadmap to achieve them.

  • Action-Oriented: Our focus is on taking concrete steps. We'll hold you accountable for progress, ensuring consistent movement forward.

  • Empowerment & Strategy: We empower you to find your own solutions, while providing you with proven strategies and practical tools for self-improvement and effective advocacy.

Our Coaching Focus: Practical Skills for Real-World Success

Our coaching is tailored to address the unique challenges and opportunities faced by families. We specialize in developing the practical skills essential for your child's academic, social, and independent success.

Key Areas of Focus:

  • Executive Functioning Skills: Develop critical skills like organization, planning, time management, prioritizing tasks, and managing significant transitions (e.g., elementary to middle school, high school to college or work).

  • Social Skills Training: Learn practical strategies for navigating social interactions, understanding social cues, initiating conversations, and building meaningful friendships.

  • Academic Support & Advocacy: Get help with study skills, test preparation, managing academic workload, and effectively advocating for accommodations in educational settings, whether it's a 504 plan or an IEP.

  • Independent Living Skills: As teenagers prepare for adulthood, we focus on crucial skills such as budgeting, cooking, managing appointments, public transportation, and other daily living tasks.

  • Vocational/Career Exploration: For older teens, we assist with identifying interests, exploring career paths, preparing for job interviews, and developing essential workplace social skills.

  • Self-Advocacy: Empower your child to understand their own needs and effectively communicate them to others – at school, at home, or in future work environments.

Navigating Complex Systems: Expert Guidance for Parents

Various systems can be complex to navigate. We provide expert guidance to help parents confidently understand these systems and secure the best for their children.

  • Educational System Navigation (Public & Private): Understand how to access resources, advocate for services, and make informed decisions within the school landscape, including IEPs and specialized support services for special needs.

  • Sports & Extracurricular Opportunities: Get insights on finding the right athletic programs, music lessons, or other activities, including understanding the tryout processes and commitment levels.

  • Scholarship & College Preparation: Learn strategies for identifying scholarship opportunities, preparing strong applications, and understanding the college admissions process in a competitive environment.

  • Special Needs Systems: Demystify the processes and requirements for accessing vital support, understanding your rights in IEP meetings, and ensuring your child receives appropriate accommodations and services.

  • Community Resources & Support Networks: Discover valuable local resources, support groups, and networks that can further enhance your child's development and your family's well-being.
