Many students benefit from participating in additional support services building specific life skills or addressing emotional needs.
Coaching
Coaching provides education and skill-building to students. The specific focus of Coaching may include any or all of the following topics, depending on the skills the individual needs to learn.
- Learning profile education (understanding your own learning)
- Academic Coaching (help with organization, homework set-up, time management)
- Individual study skills (note-taking, test preparation, active reading skills)
- Self-advocacy skills (how to ask for help, how to explain your learning needs to others)
- Stress management (relaxation techniques, reducing school stress)
Counseling
Students who experience symptoms of depression or anxiety related to their academic performance can benefit from counseling. Individual counseling at LPLC differs from Coaching in that it is therapeutic and geared to the specific emotional needs of the individual. Counseling is provided by mental health professionals, including psychologists, counselors, and social workers. Counseling can focus on improving mood, building coping skills, and improving social relations. Counseling can also include some of the elements of Coaching as needed. Insurance might partially cover costs of individual counseling depending on the diagnosis and insurance policy. Check with your insurance company to determine benefits.
Family Counseling
LPLC staff can also work with families to help them understand a student’s learning profile, behavior, and emotional needs and how they impact the family.
Insurance might partially cover costs of individual counseling depending on the diagnosis and insurance policy.
