Therapy to fight distractions and improve focus

In-person & online in Houston

Young people have so many distractions.

Your son is gifted, but procrastination and distractions are keeping him from reaching his full potential. He eventually gets things done but often stays up late, crams the material, and is unnecessarily stressed. He relies on outside pressure and isn’t developing the skills which will make him successful in college and life.

Maybe you’re noticing:

  • Way too much screen time

  • Constant distractions

  • Putting off work until the last moment

  • Reliance on external deadlines

  • Late nights or early mornings

Your child is capable of excellence. He just needs the right strategies.

My approach to working with distracted teens

With the right strategies, motivated teens can transform their habits. I start by explaining the brain science of focus and distractions. From there we tap into the teen’s deepest motivations to flip reluctance and dread into excitement.

We then introduce mindfulness which allows complete immersion in the present moment, focusing on only one thing at a time.

Along the way, we cover many tried and true practical skills, tailored to your child’s situation that will set your child apart as a student and as a person.

What we’ll work on

Therapy can help your teen:

  • Turn off distractions and turn on focus

  • Learn to schedule

  • Find purpose in their work

  • Create and work towards meaningful goals

  • Get excited about projects

Your child is capable of great things.

I’M HERE TO help him reach that.
