Youth & Young Adults
At Eye In Me, we believe that teens should have someone to talk to who understands. Our Youth Peer Coaching program offers one-on-one virtual support for teens ages 13–18, held by a youth peer supporter, and supervised by a licensed psychotherapist. Our sessions help young people navigate emotional challenges, self doubt, and day-to-day stress with honesty, empathy, and care. We provide a space where teens can be themselves, speak freely, and feel supported by someone who understands. This program is here to help with building confidence, learning to manage stress, emotions, and time, dealing with friendship or familial tension, feeling more in control of your life, and figuring out your strengths and weaknesses and using them to grow.
Common Issues and Manifestations
Being a teen can mean facing an immense amount of stress whether it’s from school grades, figuring out your plans for the future, the pressure of meeting expectations, juggling relationships, and figuring out who you are as a person. It can be hard to manage it on your own. This stress can lead to feelings of anxiety, overthinking, or feeling burnt out and stuck.
Our Approach
Our coaching is not therapy but can be therapeutic. Through regular virtual check-ins, teens build a connection with a peer coach who offers nonjudgmental support and culturally aware insight. Sessions focus on empowering youth to recognize their feelings, make healthier choices, and feel seen and heard in a world that often overlooks them.

I support those who support others. Whether you’re a leader in your family or workplace, a business owner, or the one who keeps everything running smoothly, people rely on you to have the answers. There’s little room for uncertainty, so you figure it out—again and again. But even the strongest need space to set their burdens down. My goal is to provide that space, helping you care for yourself as well as you care for everyone else—sustainably, and with support.
