Because no one hands you a manual for launching a young adult! College, trade school, gap years, first apartments, real-world responsibilities ... preparing teens for life after high school can be exciting and overwhelming. That's why we created Launching Well, a virtual workshop series to help parents, guardians, educators, and counselors navigate this transition with clarity, confidence, and care.
You’ll gain practical tools for fostering independence, staying connected, setting healthy boundaries, and knowing when to step in (or when to step back!) Choose a morning or evening option. Both are led by Lifeologie Counseling Rockwall therapist and seasoned career and educational counselor Chelsea Atwell, LPC.
Our first session, Support For Leaving The Nest, focuses on the emotional, practical, and developmental challenges young adults face as they move into adulthood. Participants will gain evidence-informed tools and strategies to support teens in building independence, resilience, problem-solving skills, and self-advocacy.
This group is ideal for:
Parents and caregivers preparing to launch their own teen
Teachers, counselors, and school professionals supporting multiple students
Anyone wondering “Am I helping… or accidentally holding them back?”
Each session offers practical guidance, including how to:
Foster independence while staying emotionally connected
Navigate anxiety (yours and theirs) during major life transitions
Improve communication without power struggles
Set healthy boundaries—and stick to them
Recognize when support is helpful versus when it may unintentionally limit growth
Launching Well supportive groups create space for shared discussion and collaboration among caregivers and professionals, allowing participants to learn from one another's experiences, gain reassurance, and feel less alone in this season of uncertainty.
