From Awkward to Awesome
Conversations with Chloe is a customizable coaching program designed to improve your social & conversational skills. Conversations are tough. Those moments of awkward silences, misread signals, or the sinking feeling of being misunderstood can leave you reeling.
For the introverted, the neurodivergent, or anyone who felt their social skills rust during Covid, social situations can be brutal. It’s as if everyone else got a secret handbook on human connection that somehow missed your mailbox. Let’s start you on the path of developing meaningful conversations with over 36 hours of personalized lessons!
Completely Customizable
- To your schedule. We can split the time up into several 30 minute sessions or pack them into multiple hours per day.
- To your learning style. Need time to study and process between appointments? Done. Want to run full force ahead? I’ve gotchu.
- To your budget. Options range from 36.5 full hours of one-on-one time with Chloe to as few as 10.5 hours together.
Special Treatment
- You’re far too cool to have to wait for an appointment. You’ll never have to wait more than 48hrs for our sessions.
- You’re in charge. We can meet for 2hrs a day,5 days a week OR only spend 30 minutes a month in session. Whatever floats your chaotic lil boat.
- Personally designed for your learning style. Lectures, roleplay, accountability rules, chill brainstorming, movies, books, etc… I can be as flexible or militant as you’d like.
Actionable and Evidence-Based
- Ya girl respects her elders and only uses evidence-based models and techniques from human behavior and psychology research.
- With a mental health background and graduate degree in clinical social work, I use up-to-date data wherever possible in the design of my services.
- Everything I offer is actionable. I don’t foster dependence or trick you into needing me to succeed. My goal is to teach you how to be successful without me. It’s a risky business model, but I sleep like a baby knowing I’m not going to wake up with horns.
