Introducing my new program:

Thriving Teen Girls

As an experienced teacher and a mom to two teenage daughters, I am acutely aware of the many challenges tween and teen girls face as they try to navigate adolescence.

So I have developed a unique 8-week program to help tween and teen girls feel empowered to deal with those challenges. In Thriving Teen Girls they will:

reflect on the social norms and influences they are exposed to.
identify their personal core values and the values of those around them.
learn how to make decisions and set goals that are in line with their values.
become more aware of their strengths, consciously build on them, and develop their confidence and sense of self-worth.
learn to have compassion for themselves and others.
have the opportunity to experience a variety of mindfulness strategies and grounding exercises that can help them manage difficult thoughts and feelings.

Thriving Teen Girls is a program intended to support our pre-teen and teenage daughters in a proactive rather than reactive way, and help them develop the tools they need to navigate the teen years and beyond.

Parent/caregiver coaching support is also available. I work with both neurotypical and neurodiverse children. Book a free consultation to learn more.

What they're Saying

"I got my teenage daughter enrolled in Neesha’s 'Thriving Teen Girls' course in September with the hopes of helping her with her anxiety, especially as she was starting into a new school and leaving many of her close elementary school friends behind. The course helped her to better navigate and understand her thoughts and emotions, helped her build her self confidence, and taught her how to set goals while staying true to our values. She now seems less overwhelmed with the pressures at the school front, vocalizes her feelings more confidently and is better able to deal with her stress. My daughter expressed how she enjoyed Neesha’s focused teaching methods which made it easy to understand the different concepts. Definitely recommend this course for any teenager."

“I’ve learned ways to achieve my goals and analyze what goals I want to achieve.”

"This fall, I registered my daughter in Neesha B's 'Thriving Teen Girls' course. The course provided my daughter with some tools to face the challenges teens face when negotiating the transition to high school. Since the course, she is more aware of her values and of how she wants to be treated. The discussions in class allowed her to reflect on how she will deal with different situations she might encounter in the future. I would highly recommend this program for teenage girls."

“I’ve learned a lot about what values are and what MY values are. I’ve learned to name my feelings and to slow down and breathe.”

"I enrolled my teenage daughter in Neesha B.'s 'Thriving Teen Girls' course this fall. The course tools and discussions really helped her build confidence and a better understanding of her thoughts and feelings around navigating the transition from her small elementary school to the large high school. I have already seen my daughter putting some of the learnt tools into action. I would highly recommend this program for all tweens / teen girls. Thank you Neesha - we look forward to your next program."

"My daughter was also enrolled in the 'Thriving teen girls' course and here is what she has to say: 'Very useful, it helped me develop a growth mindset for my life and goals in general. It was nice to hear the other participants’ ideas and experience, realizing that some of mine were the same. I felt listened to and definitely helped me grow my self confidence.' Thanks Neesha!"

Peer pressure and social media influences

There are so many outside influences in their lives, that it can be especially challenging for girls to know what they truly value, who they are or want to be, and how to set goals for themselves in the face of these influences.

The effects of internalizing social norms and expectations

Girls in particular are vulnerable to social norms that when internalized can train them to be people pleasers and perfectionists, which in turn can easily set them up to be anxious.

Teenage girls worry about being indecisive and being judged, and these worries are heightened by the pervasive influence of social media.

In general, girls are taught to follow the rules and not question authority, which means that they may follow others without much thought.

Making decisions

It’s not uncommon to hear teenage girls labelling themselves as “indecisive” and saying they do not know how to make decisions, big or small.

The inability to make thoughtful decisions means that girls may also struggle with setting goals for themselves and instead do what others do.

Goal setting

Students are expected to be able to set goals in school, but setting goals in a school setting is not always the most meaningful or thoughtful.

Self-compassion

Teenage girls learn to be very hard on themselves. High-achieving girls, for example, can be perfectionists to a point that if they think they are not doing things “right” or how they “should,” they can end up judging themselves harshly.
