Ashley Thomas

Certified Youth Well-Being Coach

Based in McDonough, Ga

As a certified youth coach, Ashley partners with your teen, supporting their passions. Peace builds in your family as your teen develops a growth mindset. You will see your child’s  motivation & sense of achievement increase as they begin to excel.

Your teen years are the most pivotal in your mental and emotional development, as well as the scariest and most confusing. Goal setting for teens can be daunting: teens have big ideas and dreams but lack the experience of breaking down and organizing a goal into steps. When they fail, it can lead to a mindset of, “see, I can’t do it anyway.”  Ashley works with teens to teach them the skills they need to create goals and work toward them successfully.

Her strategies help teens stand up for themselves against peer pressure & bullying as they begin to see their true value.

Ashley’s passion lies in helping your teen succeed!  She loves seeing the look on a young persons face when they realize they have the power within themselves to make their dreams come true.

Give her a call today and get started helping your teen find success!  Ashley offers evening and weekend hours.
