No matter how hard I try, I literally cannot make myself do the stuff I’m supposed to. Then I get in trouble for it, I get anxious, and I try even harder, which makes me fail even worse. But when Cyndy explained what ADHD actually does in your brain, everything finally clicked. She helped me figure out what I need to actually lock in. So now when my parents are mad at me, it’s not because I didn’t get my stuff done, lol.

I discovered Cyndy Etler during one of the most challenging seasons of my youngest daughter’s teenage years. She had always struggled with severe anxiety, mostly triggered by academic stress, but the onset of her menstrual cycle turned a manageable issue into a debilitating battle with major depression and anxiety. Despite seeking help from multiple pediatric psychiatrists and therapists, nothing seemed to work.

At that point, my daughter refused traditional therapy because she found it unhelpful. That’s when Cyndy offered a different approach—and an unexpected friendship that changed everything. For over a year, Cyndy coached my daughter weekly, guiding her through emotional recovery after a school shooting and supporting her through the stressful college application process.

When her mental health took a dramatic decline, Cyndy recognized the need for more intensive psychiatric care and helped us find the right resources. This led to a PTSD diagnosis and finally an understanding of why previous therapies had failed.

It was an incredibly difficult season for our family, but I truly cannot imagine where my daughter would be without Cyndy’s wisdom, kindness, and unwavering support. We will be forever grateful.

Here’s the ROI on the teen life coach: I got a whole new kid for less than a business dinner. The therapist charged twice as much and my kid hated her. He went backwards. With Cyndy it’s all gas, no breaks.

Before I found Cyndy, I felt underresourced. There’s a huge gap in care for teenagers, so I struggled to find someone who would understand my daughter. Pediatricians are for moms with newborns. A regular doctor won’t see a minor. Therapists didn’t work; my daughter ran circles around them, because she didn’t feel connected. Cyndy started with CONNECTION. She engaged on a personal level. My daughter could tell there was no “right thing to say” in coaching, so she couldn’t play the game to get a pat on the head. Finally, she could just be herself, and feel accepted and celebrated for who she is. That was exactly what she needed.

You can send a teen to suffer in the woods for six weeks and it will cost you $100,000. Or you can send them to a hack, inexperienced “coach” who will mess the teen up even more for $150 an hour every week for a year. Or you can skip all that and go to straight to the best: Teen Life Coach Cyndy Etler. She might cost more, but she works fast miracles with teenagers. If you want to go broke, go with the other guys. If you want your teen happy and successful, go with Cyndy.

My daughter had 30 minutes with Cyndy in our trial session. I’m not sure what happened in there but afterwards we sat outside and I wasn’t saying much and she started talking and it was the most mature and heartfelt discussion we have had, like in a looooooooong time.

All of these people wanted to figure out what was wrong with my kid. Teens usually know what’s wrong with them.They don’t need to hear it from multiple experts, and the process of finding experts to identify their faults can even make things worse. What my daughter needed was help figuring out what’s right about her, and a toolkit for for using those talents and skills to approach life in a new way. That’s what Cyndy provided.

My therapist looks at me and says, “Yeah, that sounds really hard.” But Cyndy helps me fix stuff. She’s like, “Yeah, that’s hard. Let’s build some tools to handle it.”

Cyndy has such a powerful aura and voice. She’s such a genuine person that her level of understanding reaches to me from across the country. She has the ability to change lives and perspectives of people (not just the broken).

If I could put into conclusion she is an angel sent from above and her strongest quality is she’s a leader that cares. She puts all her effort into the work she does and it shows.

She’s strong enough to hold the world on her shoulders and learn how to manage it instead of it managing her.

She’s changed my life for the better!

After my son first spoke to Cyndy in our consultation, he said, “I love her! Can I meet with her again? How is she so good?” After his first full session, he said, “She’s a magician.”

I can’t thank Cyndy, The Teen Life Coach, enough for helping my boy.  She is the first person in a counseling/coaching role that he’s ever connected with and benefitted from, and it really means SO much to me. I am so relieved to have finally found someone who can guide him through the hard times and help him move forward in a positive way.  I am super proud of him and super grateful to Cyndy.

We appreciate Cyndy for her help with our daughter. We have seen an amazing change in her. We will definitely reach out when we need teen coaching again.

I reached out to Cyndy hoping that she could fill a gap I was unsuccessful in addressing. I noticed a difference in my daughter’s response to situations after just one session.  She only needed four sessions, but I won’t hesitate to set up more if the need presents itself!

Before I started coaching I was always dreading tomorrow. Now it’s like, “Tomorrow is going to be just as good a day as today.”

Cyndy is very kind and generous. I really appreciate everything she’s done to help my son. I’ve been very impressed! She has definitely found her calling.

I’ve seen a lot of therapists. None of them understood me or my situation. Teen life coach Cyndy immediately got me. When she told me how coaching worked–that she’d be listening to what I said, then holding it back up to me, and my own words would make everything clear–I didn’t believe her. By the second session I was like, “I was wrong. You were right. That is how it works.”

I’m so happy we found Cyndy, and that my daughter was open to teen coaching. She is a lot more self-aware and able to find healthy ways to cope. That’s so important for her development now and as an adult. These are life skills she’ll be able to draw on when faced with challenges and new situations. We are so grateful!

MY SON ADORES CYNDY! 100%!!

Since she started teen coaching with Cyndy, my daughter has been approaching her school work differently.  She’s made a big push to learn the concepts thoroughly for math tests. Doing the problems, all the variations and working through the hard ones, motivated completely on her own, is a world of difference from skating over the concepts, thinking you know it and then bombing a test. To push through and change that way of thinking is significant. My daughter connects with Cyndy, and it is helping her so much.

It was a scary time for us when we found Cyndy. My daughter has since shared how powerful her teen coaching sessions are, and that she absolutely LOVES sharing her thoughts, ideas and experiences with Cyndy. I have seen and heard Cyndy’s impact first hand. I’ve seen my daughter’s confidence increase and a greater awareness for herself and the beauty she has inside of her. She feels connected to Cyndy, and empowered when she spends time with her. We are so happy that our daughter recognizes that she needs this help.

Cyndy is so calm and accepting. I want to shrink myself back down to a teenager so I can work with her.

I don’t know what Cyndy does, but it works! I have one happy boy again.

We appreciate what Cyndy has done for our daughter. We are starting to see a more focused, confident teenager.

“What helped me so much was having someone listen. Cyndy LISTENED. And she didn’t say much. But when she did talk, it was to ask really impactful questions.”

I was on my PlayStation all the time. It was getting really bad, even though I really wanted it to change. Then my mom found Cyndy, and now we’re here, and my life is way better. So I strongly believe everything that happens in the world is meant to happen.

The first time you meet Cyndy, you feel welcome. You can say anything and everything to her, because she really listens. She understands like nobody else does.

If it wasn’t for Cyndy I would probably be in a lot of trouble or suspended from school right now. Words can’t express what she has helped me through!

Cyndy is awesome. I was close to dropping out, but she got me to stay in school. I used to be a real ****head; now I have a full-time job, and I’m a respectable member of society. Cyndy changed my life!

I could never keep my concentration at school. But then I began working with Cyndy, and she helped me look at school from a new perspective. She helped me to get confident in my school work. She helped me to pass my impossible classes. She got me graduated!

My daughter was ready to drop out of school. Then she started working with Cyndy. She would get so excited on the days they met, because she could talk to Cyndy about anything. I saw a big change in her: she became confident with all of her work. She says, “Nobody will ever top Cyndy. When my son grows up, I want him to work with her!”

Before my son began seeing Cyndy, he didn’t want to go to school. He has ADD, and he couldn’t keep his focus. With Cyndy, he got a whole new focus. She helped him open his eyes, made him want to learn…his whole personality changed! It used to be that he wouldn’t get out of bed, and we would fight with him: Get your chores done! Get your chores done! But now…I’ve seen him grow up. He was a good kid, but he’s become a better kid. It was Cyndy’s positivity that sparked it, his talking with someone who cares. Our whole family thanks her.

Cyndy has taught me so much about life. I know that no matter how I act, with Cyndy, I’m okay. She has taught me that no matter what happens in life, there will always be people who care more than you think. Someday I want to be standing in her place, helping teenagers and saying how Cyndy got me there.

Cyndy is the only adult who ever cared about me or worried about what is going on. Sometimes there is a lot going on and it’s just too much to handle as a teenager. Since I started talking to Cyndy I go to school every day and try hard to pass my classes.

I used to seriously hate reading books. Hated, hated, hated. I used to always slump in the chair when the teacher said, “Read your independent reading book.” It may have seemed like I was reading but I wasn’t. Then I started working with Cyndy on reading, and now I love to read all the time. I just can’t stop reading, can’t get enough of reading. Sometimes I read in class and don’t pay attention and I get in trouble, but I won’t let that happen again.

Cyndy Etler is an amazing woman. At one point in my life, I didn’t know what I was capable of. Cyndy gave me a passion and confidence to take chances and improve myself at every opportunity. She played a huge role in making me the man I am today: a graduate of the United States Naval Academy, a United States Marine and the CEO of my own company. Many of the skills that have made me successful in life started with Cyndy Etler.

The first time you meet Cyndy it feels like you came home. When I first came to the United States and came to a high school I didn’t know anybody, and I didn’t know English. Cyndy gave me hope, and she gave me my  biggest dream come true, graduating from high school. She is the best person you can meet, as a human and life coach. Someday I would like to help teenagers the way she does.

Cyndy makes her client feel comfortable in the coaching environment, but at the same time, she brings intensity and energy to the work. She has an uncanny ability to help her client discover their personal agenda, and become deeply centered in it. I came to coaching with a desire to quit smoking, and an awareness that my habit did not mesh with my personal values. After five short sessions with Cyndy, I found myself throwing my packs of cigarettes away. I thank Cyndy for how she helped me help myself.

My daughter has been in therapy since she was five. By senior year she was in therapy overload…but she still needed guidance through her struggles. Then we met Cyndy Etler. Here was someone who had struggled like my daughter in high school, then spent years teaching and relating to teens. Here was someone who actually, factually…understood.

My daughter was able to open up and accept guidance from Cyndy, because she felt she was talking to a friend—an objective friend with new perspectives. Teen coaching with Cyndy was far more beneficial than the therapists, most offering the same feedback from the same textbooks. Teen coaching with Cyndy was real help for real life.

My son was feeling trapped and down when I first googled teen life coach. Through his work with Cyndy, he’s decided to go to a tech school for auto mechanics and graphic design. He is so excited (as is his mama!). Cyndy’s teen coaching gave him the tools he needed to get out of feeling trapped, and take a purposeful step into his future.

My husband and I have seen a huge difference in our son, and can only attribute it to the work that Cyndy did with him. When we visit family, they too have noticed a difference in him, especially his two grandmas, who know about his struggles. We all thank teen life coach Cyndy for the work that she does!

Therapists give me like one solution that I don’t like. With Cyndy, I come up with a whole bunch of solutions myself.

My daughter loves working with Cyndy. After just a few sessions, she thanked me for signing her up for teen coaching, saying it was “the most amazing experience of her life.”

High school was very hard for me. I was a varsity runner and aspiring straight-A student, dealing with anxiety and control issues. But I REFUSED to see a therapist, which would make me feel like a let-down, like I was giving up. Then I found Cyndy, The Teen Life Coach. She was a God-send. Teen coaching is not like therapy, because it focuses on the future. It prepares you and gives you tools for dealing with your struggles and anxieties. I now have control of my mental headspace instead of dwelling in the past. I have a sense of empowerment and FREEDOM from so many things that once weighed me down.

With teen coaching, I’ve made 16,000 miles of improvement with how people see me. I thought a lot of people hated me. People like me a LOT MORE than I thought.

After only two teen life coach sessions with Cyndy, my daughter and I had one of the most thoughtful, productive conversations in her life. After each subsequent session, when I pick my daughter up and we discuss what they’re working on, I think, “Wow.” In our consultation, Cyndy described herself as The Pied Piper of Teenagers. That was 100% correct. She is incredibly insightful, and connects with teens on the intellectual and emotional level that they crave. I am so grateful that my daughter and she have connected. It is money well spent!

Cyndy Etler is the person I most admire, because she has this disorder where she thinks everyone has something good in them. I, too, suffer from this ailment. She gives me hope that I’ll be okay when I grow up.

Have you ever met a person who changes the vibe in the room, just by walking in? Who makes things seem better, just by showing up? Cyndy is that person. When I started working with Cyndy I was in a low-paying job. I worked hard, but was treated with no respect. I was applying for jobs, but wasn’t getting interviews. Cyndy’s insightful questions helped me shift my search to jobs I would enjoy for the long term. With her guidance, I gained awareness of my qualifications and talents, and learned how to present them with confidence. Within six weeks of beginning my work with Cyndy I was offered my dream job…with a 150% pay raise!

Cyndy has been such a wonderful teen life coach for my 14yo son. She has made herself available to his needs….even when it is not on our normal scheduled time. That is Very Hard to find! As a mom of a teenager…. I find it very hard to understand and relate to the times. Navigating all of the new peer pressures (which a child can never get away from now) and harder work load at school, has just been difficult for his father and me. Cyndy has become a trusted supporter of my son during these difficult years. I am very thankful that we found her!
