Honest answers to fair questions

One-on-one support for planning, starting tasks, managing time, staying organized, and following through. We build real systems, test them, and adjust until they hold.

No. Coaching is educational mentoring and skill-building. It can complement clinical care, but it does not replace therapy, medical care, or mental-health support.

Tutoring teaches content. Coaching builds the operating system around it: planning the week, starting the work, communicating early, and recovering when things slip.

No diagnosis is required. Coaching starts with how life is actually going, not with labels.

Children, teens, college students, young adults, adults, parents, and families.

Start with parent coaching, or try one low-pressure conversation between Gregory and your teen. No lecture. No forced enthusiasm. Just one honest meeting.

Yes. Many adult clients want support with work, routines, independence, communication, and social connection.

Most coaching sessions are held remotely through Google Meet. Remote sessions make it easier to maintain consistency, work with clients across a wider geographic area, and practice real-life skills from the client's own environment. Limited in-person coaching may be available in Marin, Sonoma County, and nearby areas.

Flexible daytime scheduling is encouraged whenever possible. A limited number of evening appointments are available for working parents and clients who cannot meet during the day.

Remote daytime coaching can be especially helpful for young adults, college students, homeschool students, clients with flexible work or school schedules, and parents who want to meet privately during the day.

Most clients meet weekly. Some work for a semester; others need longer support. Coaching tapers as independence grows.

Yes. Parent and family coaching can happen alongside individual coaching or on its own. Gregory helps families reduce conflict, build shared systems, and support independence without carrying every task.

Pricing is discussed during the free consultation and depends on the format and frequency of coaching. Rates are not listed online.

Families get clear communication about direction and progress. Privacy boundaries are agreed on up front, especially with teens.

A relaxed 20–30 minute phone or Google Meet call about what is going on, what you have tried, and where to start. Daytime and limited evening consultation times are available.
