What is Academic Coaching

Academic coaching is a solution-focused approach to counseling where we focus on your specific concerns. Your counselor acts as a coach to help you not only identify areas of growth but also learn new ways to achieve your goals while preserving your sanity.

What to expect in online coaching in Southlake, TX

When you receive academic coaching at The Well House, you will have a professional on your team who will work with you to achieve your academic goals. Your sessions will be goal-focused. You and your counselor will work together to identify the things that are working and to develop the skills that are not working.

Sometimes during the coaching process, bigger issues come up. Since your coach is a trained counselor, they will be able to step back from the solution-focused coaching and step into counseling to help you work through whatever comes up.

The truth is, sometimes we struggle not because something is inherently hard, but we struggle because we have to limit thoughts or beliefs about ourselves or the things we are trying to do. Counseling and coaching together can not only help you make academic progress but can help you find yourself through the process as well.

Parents, this one‘s for you

Academics are a major source of stress for kids and young adults these days. Our kids are under an extreme amount of pressure academically as well as socially and extracurricular. Even if they are not competitively involved in extracurriculars, there is a lot going on that competes for their attention; and this can be very draining and challenging at times. It’s even more stressful when kids have to manage their parents’ expectations on top of their own expectations when it comes to academics and life goals in general.

Even the most relaxed parents can find their kids struggling with these outside expectations. Because of this, sometimes it is helpful to include parents in the academic coaching treatment plan. We often refer to this as online parent coaching in Texas, and the goal is to equip you, the parent, with the knowledge and skills to appropriately support your child through these years.

The counselors at The Well House can help you navigate your own expectations and fears surrounding your child’s academic journey. We will help you learn to see through societal fears and norms so that you can accurately see your child’s unique gifts. This will in turn help you learn how to best encourage and parent your child through their academic career. The ultimate goal of academic coaching is to equip both child and parent with knowledge of the specific skills and motivational strategies that work best for their unique temperament.
