Private Coaching for Teens

Personalized one-on-one support for teens who need extra guidance in confidence, communication, and navigating everyday challenges.

 

Every teen deserves to feel heard, valued, and equipped with tools to thrive. Private coaching offers a safe space to grow at their own pace with individualized support.

Why Private Coaching?

Teens thrive in group workshops, benefiting from the shared experiences and collaboration with their peers. Others may benefit from more personalized, one-on-one support instead, or additional support following a group workshop experience. 

 

Coaching provides:

  • A safe space to open up without judgment

  • Tailored tools and strategies for their unique challenges

  • Focused attention on areas like confidence, communication, and social skills

  • A consistent mentor who helps them practice and apply new skills in real life

Testimonials

What parents are saying

Michelle Lindgren

Parent

Debbie took my daughter under her wings and gave her the tools and encouragement to succeed. Under Debbie's guidance and support my daughter grew as an individual (as well as a performer). Weekly sessions with Debbie gave her specific tools and insights to help realize her own passions and strengths. Debbie's enthusiasm is contagious, and it would be hard not to grow under her guidance.

Debbie Martinez has warmly guided thousands of children from quiet introverts to Stand-on-the-Stage Performers. Her ability to make a child feel like they can do ANYTHING is remarkable. There are literally hundreds of children (now adults) that have worn the confidence that Debbie has given them on their sleeves through college and job interviews, and they credit Debbie Martinez with their very station in their life...mine included.

Debbie creates a very safe space and her sensitivity is a strength...she stays on purpose, held the focus and shifted when necessary while working with my daughter. Debbie reflected back to me in a very effective manner, so I knew exactly what goals were being set and accomplished. It's amazing what can happen when working in this context for a young person who needs guidance. Debbie's intuition, experience, and warm heart all served as an anchor during sessions with my daughter, which then empowered her to set goals and make good decisions in life.

Susanne Condon

Parent/Owner of Coast to Coast College Counseling 

Teens are under unbearable pressure today, and there is very little support. I have had the privilege and honor of knowing Debbie Martinez for the past twenty-five years and have seen first-hand the positive and life-changing impact she has had on children and teens. All three of my children grew up in Debbie’s programs, and the life skills and self-confidence they gained have directly affected their character development and successful careers.
