the parental compass

Raising today’s teenager comes with many challenges. It’s natural to feel concerned and sometimes helpless to protect your daughter while also fostering her independence. I am here to support your family every step of the way, working with you to help your daughter create the life she wants to lead.

family conflict

 

Teen girls seek more independence and autonomy, which can clash with parents' efforts to set boundaries, leading to power struggles and misunderstandings.

​

communication issues

 

Learning to communicate effectively can be a genuine challenge as teens navigate intense emotions & tricky social dynamics. Struggles to express themselves clearly often lead to conflict and stress, affecting both their relationships & their self-confidence.

friendship drama

 

The pressure to fit in can leave teen girls feeling betrayed or excluded & the complicated world of social cliques may cause your daughter to feel isolated. 

decision anxiety 

 

Teen girls often struggle to set goals instead focusing on immediate concerns and procrastination. Fear of making mistakes can leave them indecisive, while pressure to excel creates anxiety & confusion about how to prioritize their future.

social media overload

 

Excessive use can fuel anxiety & limit meaningful real-life connections. Social media often can pressure her to meet unrealistic standards that can damage her self-esteem.

self awareness

 

Adolescence is a time of major change and your daughter may feel unsure about who she is & what her future holds. Juggling friendships, family life and outside pressures can make it harder for her to figure things out, especially as she tries to balance peer influence and the values you've taught her.

“We had the most amazing experience with Caroline. She is such a great coach and my daughter deeply values the time they spent working together on her life choices. Caroline helped her progress toward a path that was both enriching and rewarding; helping her sustain her life decisions for the future. My daughter feels more positive about herself and her choices. Caroline has been an invaluable resource to both me and my daughter and we continue to look forward to working with her."

“We had the pleasure of working with Caroline for our teenage daughter. Our daughter was struggling with self confidence and was suffering with anxiety in and out of school. She felt very comfortable with Caroline right from the very first session and was able to connect and talk very openly with her. My daughter felt Caroline truly listened and gave her some really good strategies to help her through her anxieties. I really enjoyed our check-ins with Caroline as she filled us in on the progress they were making and even helped us with how we could support our daughter at home. Caroline’s dedication to our daughter went above and beyond. I would highly recommend Caroline if you are looking for a compassionate and very skilled teen life coach and one who will be fully invested with getting your child to a good place."

Certified Teen Life Coach

Caroline Covert Headshot.jpeg

After years of working as a therapist, I realized my true passion lies in helping teen girls navigate the challenges of adolescence with confidence and resilience. While therapy is incredibly valuable, I find life coaching allows me to take a more proactive and solution-focused approach to helping young women thrive.

Drawing from my personal experience as a parent of two daughters who are Division I Ivy League college athletes, I have lived through the distinct pressures and opportunities that come with this transformative time. After receiving a Master’s of Social Work from Columbia University, I honed my therapeutic skills in the field before augmenting my training, becoming a Certified Teen Wisdom Inc.® Life Coach. This combination of family and career experiences equips me with a deep understanding of the emotional and psychological challenges facing our kids and the skills to help them address these issues head on. I’m dedicated to providing the tools, encouragement and community every girl needs to unleash her inner strength and become her best self!
