Taryn Gates, B.A., Adolescent Coach

I am here to help your teens “become”. To help them become the person they were before the fear, depression, anxiety, disordered eating and self harm set in as a layer of protection against the pain.  

I have a Bachelors Degree from Columbia University and was chosen and completed the elite Athena Scholars Program at Columbia University for leads and visionaries who strive to make the world a better place.

I work with families where the parents feel like the child they once is now gone.  Adolescence has taken their child hostage with all of its painful and awkward growing pains - especially in the midst of Covid-19, virtual learning and social media. Teens are under tremendous pressure these days.

I'm  passionate about helping these teens as an Adolescent Coach.

Fun facts about me - in my free time I love art, tarot cards, astrology, horror films, acting classes and costume design. I've learned that through these pastimes I continue to unravel and find parts of myself that were always there, just waiting to be tapped into.  Acting classes have challenged me to the highest degree but I've been able to push through that discomfort and show up. This makes it possible for me to help your teen grow and show up for themselves, and others too. Taryn works virtually and in-person.
