6-Session Starter Package | $1,800 | In-Home
Support for girls who are doing well—yet carrying more than they let on.
Today girls face increasing academic pressure, social comparison, and rising expectations. Many are high-functioning on the outside—yet internally overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure how to manage what they’re carrying.
Coaching provides something they don’t often get in school or daily life: explicit instruction and practice in emotional regulation, decision-making, and self-trust.
How It Works
Six Sessions. In your home. Supporting your daughter.
1:1 Sessions
Present-focused, skill-based coaching
Client directed, non-judgmental process
Instruction in skills rarely taught directly
Girls learn how to:
Recognize what’s driving their thoughts and actions
Identify patterns of thought and behavior
Build emotional intelligence and resilience skills
Make thoughtful, value-aligned, choices
My Coaching Approach
I’m Rachel McElroy. I work with girls and families who want to thrive.
For more than a decade, I worked with middle and high school students, their families, and educators as a special education teacher and behavior specialist. I’ve seen firsthand the increasing pressures adolescents face today and the impact those demands can have on confidence, relationships, and wellbeing. My work is informed by experience and the understanding that emotional intelligence gives girls skills they can carry into any situation and leave stronger for it.
Today’s girls are navigating levels of pressure and expectation that previous generations didn’t experience—academically, socially, and internally. Yet the skills needed to manage emotions, make thoughtful decisions, and develop a grounded sense of self have historically been expected to emerge naturally.
My coaching is non-judgmental, present-focused, and skill-based. I don’t diagnose or treat; instead, I teach emotional intelligence, resilience, and decision-making skills that can be applied immediately and strengthened over time.
I’m based in Charlottesville and meet most families in their homes, where young people often feel most comfortable and at ease.
