Summer '26 Mentorship
Registration closes June 19
You know what regulates a mom's nervous system?
Knowing her daughter has someone she trusts when she's doom-scrolling in a dorm room, sweating the start of high school, or stuck in an 8th-grade friendship shake-up so that instead of breakdowns, there are breakthroughs.
College, high school, and 8th grade really start the summer before. It’s a portal, and when used intentionally, it's preventive health for the school year ahead.
The summer before...
Freshman Year of College
It's 11:30PM on a Thursday. Your college freshman calls you crying.
Everyone has friends, but her. There's no one to go out with. She doesn't love her roommate. She's worried about her homework and she wants to come home.
This is a call every freshman mom is familiar with!
Having an existing relationship with someone your daughter can turn to for roommate, body, relationship, or friend challenges is invaluable to well-being.
Starting High School...
There are a lot of "what ifs" with starting high school. What will the academic workload be like? Where will she sit at lunch? Does she know anyone in her classes?
Anticipation can feel a lot like anxiety. And if you have a daughter who leans toward people-pleasing and perfectionism, high school is an important time to navigate those patterns so they don't become the default.
8th-grade...
8th grade comes with a lot of change going on under the surface. Girls are no longer tweens, but not quite ready for high school either.
What I often find most interesting is the middle school friendship shake-ups. This is very normal during change, but can feel so big!
And of course...
You don't need to be going through a transition for summer mentorship. Maybe you want your daughter to release a tough school year, learn tools for anxiety while things are calmer, or get ahead of the patterns you've already started to notice.
Private mentorship for old soul girls who don't want to be told to "just relax" and are ready for real tools to handle anxiety, overthinking, and the pressure they're putting on themselves.
Imagine your daughter:
🤍 Less hard on herself. She doesn't beat herself up if she doesn't get an A
🤍 Able to let go without needing to have everything figured out
🤍 Not succumbing to peer pressure because she really knows herself.
🤍 Makes decisions confidently. She's not struggling with what to have for dinner or what to wear.
🤍 Having solid and kind friendships. Her friendships are reciprocal.
🤍 Knows how to bring herself back to calm when she's anxious
🤍 Dates leading with her self-worth.
🤍 Asks for help when she needs it
Use the summer to build the mentor relationship and watch your daughter skip into a new school happy and confident.
MENTOR & PROFESSIONAL BIG SISTER
Meet Maggie
Hi, I’m Maggie, your go-to mentor and 'big sister' to help you and your daughter manage the transition from adolescence to college with clear heads and open hearts.
With a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology and Education from Columbia University and my 10+ years as a wellness counselor, I’m ready to offer you and your daughter nurturing support and practical advice through mentorship.
I’m here to be a heart-holder, sounding board, and resource for each of you as you learn and grow through these years.
The "Mom, you don't get it!" years.
During the teens, girls pull away from their parents to figure out who they are, separate from their family (identity development). And it's ironic timing, because the years they need guidance the most are the same years they're least willing to listen to their mom. Ugh!
Outside support, like mentorship, becomes important.
I joke with moms that I'm like brownies with spinach in them.
Relatable, conversational, big-sister on the outside.
Master's in Clinical Psychology and Education on the inside.
What’s Included in Summer Mentorship:
🌷 A direct, judgment-free adult in her corner who isn't her parent.This is the difference between her talking about her week and her actually shifting how she moves through it.
🌷Real tools for anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. We name the pattern, then build the muscle to interrupt it (not the kind of generic advice she rolls her eyes at).
🌷 Work on handling uncertainty. The skill nobody else is teaching her (college decisions, friend stuff, her body, the constant "am I doing this right?" loop that runs underneath everything).
🌷 Mom check-ins so you actually know what's working. Without breaking her confidentiality, I connect with moms to help further support at home.
🌷 Space she actually wants to show up to. It's not a lecture or running through a worksheet. Sessions she leaves feeling lighter, clearer, more like herself.
🌷 Between-session text access for the in-the-moment stuff. The panicked Sunday night before move-in, the friend drama mid-week, the "Maggie wait what would you say to…" moments. None of it has to wait until our next session.
🌷Flexibility in sessions: Summer can be full of camp and travel, but mentorship works with the girl's schedule.
🌷 A real summer arc. We start now so September isn't a reset, it's a continuation.
Kind Words
"It’s hard to believe how excited my teenager is. She has never been receptive at all to talking to someone, so this is amazing. After your session she had the biggest smile on her face and she said she can’t wait to talk to you again.
Thank you so much."
- PL, parent
"When I first started mentorship, I felt like I was at rock bottom. I was struggling with friend dynamics which made school miserable.
Maggie makes mentorship fun and always has a positive attitude. She comes with different ways/tools to work together. It’s getting unconditional support."
- BM, student
"Working with Maggie has improved my confidence. I've matured emotionally, am more open, and am able to focus on myself.
I'm not as worried about what other people are doing and feel I have a stronger, independent foundation."
- MW, student

FAQ
My daughter is hesitant to try mentoring. Any tips?
I totally get this! Trying anything new can be hard, especially when opening up about yourself. With every new student, I start with an intro session to make sure we're the right fit. All you have to do is show up for one chat, and I will do the rest!
How do I know if mom mentorship is better or teen mentorship is right for my family?
This is the perfect question for a discovery call! We can chat over which option would fit you and your daughter's needs best.
My daughter is worried she won't know what to talk about
Don’t worry! You don’t have to come with anything specifically prepared. I’ll guide the session, especially if you’re nervous. It will feel like chatting with a friend.
How soon can we expect to see progress from the mentorship sessions?
Everyone is unique, but you'll likely notice little sparks of change after just a few sessions. We'll start implementing practical tools right away
Is there support between our scheduled sessions?
Absolutely! I'm here for you between our sessions, too. If something comes up or you just need a bit of advice, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to support and guide you both every step of the way.
What happens if we need to miss a session?
If you know you can't make it, just give me a heads-up, and we'll find another time that works better. I work with your schedule and ensure we keep the momentum going, even when life gets hectic.
