SEL Coaching Sessions
Half-hour, goal-oriented child sessions using evidence-based exercises, mindfulness, and play.
Service Description
SEL coaching sessions are personalized, skill-building sessions designed to help children strengthen their social and emotional skills through guided, hands-on practice. Sessions are grounded in the individualized plan created during the intake assessment, focusing on the goals we identified together and building skills in a way that feels supportive and engaging for your child. We begin by developing strong rapport and a sense of safety, so children feel comfortable trying new strategies and expressing themselves. Sessions often include play, games, movement, and creative activities such as crafts, which help children stay engaged while practicing skills like emotion regulation, flexible thinking, problem-solving, and coping with transitions. Coaching is responsive and flexible. We continuously observe how your child responds to different strategies and adjust our approach as needed. If a method isn’t working, we try a different one—because skill-building is most effective when it meets the child where they are. This ensures sessions remain productive, encouraging, and aligned with your child’s learning style. Over time, children build confidence, resilience, and autonomy as they practice skills in real moments, not just talk about them. Progress is guided by data and ongoing observation, so sessions evolve as your child’s skills grow. Each session is intentional, adaptive, and centered on helping your child develop tools they can use in everyday life.
