Coaching can help with

stress, motivation, self confidence, schoolwork, substance use, body issues, relationships, and many other adolescent issues.

The struggle is real

for teens. There’s school, social media & sports. There’s friends, fam & The Future. The pressure is unrelenting! Many turn to vaping, weed or cutting for relief.

My coaching works

because, along with listening and laughter, I use evidence-based strategies. I have a system that motivates teens from start to solution. Like magic!

The Teen Life Coach is here to help.

I’m Cyndy Etler, the life coach for teens. I use evidence-based strategies to help young people figure out

  • what they most want
  • what’s blocking them
  • how they can slay the blocks and create their dream life

Many adults want to help teens, but don’t know how. With my teen coaching, kids feel heard and understood…and excited about creating positive change.

About the Coach

My work as a youth life coach is my life’s purpose. As a struggling 13-year-old, I met grownups who gave me exactly what I needed: respect and options. I knew my mission was to become one of those adults.

I taught high school for 17 years, then trained to become a life coach for young adults to help with the stuff that lies beneath academic and social success: stress, self confidence, thought patterns, and goal achievement.

In my role as a teen coach, kids trust me because I get it. Whatever they’re dealing with, I’ve been there, felt that. Parents trust me because I’m educated, with a Master of Education degree and coaching certifications from International Coach Federation (ICF) and Youth Coaching Institute.

If you’re wondering, “Is there a teen life coach near me?” I have good news! I coach kids all over the world via videoconference. Teens get to stay in their comfort zone—their room, on their device—as they create the life they want.

If a life coach for kids sounds like what you seek, let’s connect! My 20-minute phone consultation will help you determine if your kid’s needs and my teen coaching are a fit.

Testimonials

Reagan, 17-year-old, Massachusetts

No matter how hard I try, I literally cannot make myself do the stuff I’m supposed to. Then I get in trouble for it, I get anxious, and I try even harder, which makes me fail even worse. But when Cyndy explained what ADHD actually does in your brain, everything finally clicked. She helped me figure out what I need to actually lock in.

Raquel, mom of a 17-year-old boy, North Carolina

It used to be that my won wouldn’t get out of bed, and we would fight with him: Get your chores done! Get your chores done! Cyndy helped him open his eyes, made him want to learn…his whole personality changed! It was Cyndy’s positivity that sparked it, his talking with someone who cares. He was a good kid, but he’s become a better kid.

Mei, mom of a 15-year-old, South Korea

It was a scary time for us when we found Cyndy. She feels connected to Cyndy, and empowered when she spends time with her. I’ve seen my daughter’s confidence increase and a greater awareness for herself and the beauty she has inside of her. We are so happy that our daughter recognizes that she needs this help.

Suzie, mom of a 19-year-old, Indiana

During my daughter’s first call with Cyndy, I was amazed at the light and energy I saw come into her eyes. Within ten minutes, she had connected and started to talk openly. She usually puts up a wall and gets very defensive and feels judged and criticized with suggestions or advice. As a worried mom, I can’t tell you the sense of relief I felt today after seeing how she responded and interacted in that call, and the potential that created.

Beth, mom of a 17-year-old, North Carolina

Despite seeking help from multiple pediatric psychiatrists and therapists, nothing seemed to work. When my daughter’s mental health took a dramatic decline, Cyndy recognized the need for more intensive psychiatric care and helped us find the right resources. I truly cannot imagine where my daughter would be without Cyndy’s wisdom, kindness, and unwavering support.

Anna, 16-year-old client, North Carolina

As a varsity runner and aspiring straight-A student with anxiety and control issues, high school was very hard for me, but I REFUSED to see a therapist, which would make me feel like a let-down, like I was giving up. Then I learned that teen coaching is not like therapy, because it focuses on the future. Coaching with Cyndy gave me a sense of empowerment and FREEDOM from so many things that once weighed me down.

Sandy, mom of an 18-year-old girl, California

Therapists didn’t work; my daughter ran circles around them, because she didn’t feel connected. My daughter could tell there was no ‘right thing to say’ in coaching, so she couldn’t play the game to get a pat on the head. Finally, she could just be herself, and feel accepted and celebrated for who she is.
