LifeTutors provides clinically-informed, in-person, comprehensive coaching services to support young adults and their families through life transitions and growth. We are enthusiastic about working alongside consultants, clinicians and adjunct providers towards a young adults’ identified goals and unfolding developmental process. Our coaches serve as a consistent touch point for our participants, while our Clinical Director offers a reliable communication hub for referents, therapists, and other supporting adults.
Through our clinically-informed, in-person coaching model, participants learn to identify their strengths, set achievable goals, discover interests & personal values and refine executive functioning skills that ultimately propel them toward successful and sustainable independence. Our coaches act as the arm of action beyond the therapist office or other related provider’s office as they practice skills, routines and habits with their coaches in real-time and in their own community. Accountability is paramount within the coaching dynamic as young adults work to integrate useful strategies which yield sustainable gains toward independence within the program and beyond.
Our outcomes show that relationally-based coaching can often be the catalyst allowing for a breakthrough when other systems have been met with initial and/or patterned resistance.

Coaching
Begins!
Most people work with a coach for 9-12 months, though it really depends on your goals and how much support you need day-to-day. Some folks focus on a specific transition and wrap up in a few months; others want ongoing support as new challenges come up.
Young adults and their coaches set goals that will bring them closer to independence within the first few weeks of service and begin working toward meeting them from day one. These goals and strategies toward meeting them are reported out weekly in updates.
We establish open and direct lines of communication between all providers and care team members, provide weekly updates to the full team and schedule team meetings regularly with young adults included in the conversation. We are committed to transparency in all communication in the interest of supporting each young adult in the most effective and sustainable.
Right here.
We began serving young adults and their families throughout the United States in 2023 and we really took our time arriving here! We’d been asked countless times whether we were willing to provide our coaching services in other geographic areas outside of the southeast- and our answer was always ‘not yet’. We did our homework, we listened to provider requests, we developed relationships throughout the U.S. and took every intentional step in this direction to meet the need. By utilizing our strengths-based, holistic coaching model and streamlining our internal training for all coaches, we are confident that we are able to deliver continuity of services across geographic regions throughout the U.S. and we are seeing successes across the U.S. in the same way we have a lot closer to where we began in the Southeast.
This is one of the most important decisions we make and we identify level of care in partnership with the young adults and their supporters. Our clinically informed intake is designed to explore the young adult’s history and current life snapshot, and identify what pace of services will match the young adults needs and goals. We ask questions that are designed to show us what type of coach a client will be best matched with for best outcomes in the client-coach relationship. We take all aspects and the young adult history, personality, personal preferences, perceived deficits and protective factors and many others into consideration when making this determination.
Our model includes:
All of our coaches hold bachelors or masters degrees and/or equivalent experience in professional and coaching services. Some of our coaches are licensed mental health clinicians while others hold credentialing in areas such as financial literacy, vocational specialities, teaching and/or college instruction, wilderness therapy, nutrition, health and human service sciences, professional wellness training, etc. All of our coaches are certified in our Whole Life Coaching (™) model and are provided with clinical supervision.
We do not provide therapy, rather we partner with community based and/or a client’s existing therapists as a part of the full young adult support team. We recognize the importance of trust and continuity that most often occurs within these relationships and that these therapeutic relationships will nearly always outlast our time limited work with our young adults. Often, our real-time coaching work can be viewed as a home and community based arm of action, or practice, outside of the therapist’s office.
We value clear, transparent communication and strive to provide a quality service with lasting impacts for years to come.
