HG Coaches get it
HG Coaches are certified through a curriculum designed by Harvard-trained psychiatrist, and leading expert on mental health and technology use, Dr. Alok Kanojia. All HG Coaches have a proven track record of increasing self-worth and motivation while decreasing feelings of depression and anxiety.
Our HG Family Coaches undergo an additional curriculum which includes parent-child alliance building, boundary setting, managing expectations, and dealing with resistance to help identify your unique needs and troubleshoot plans tailored to your family.

Thanks to Dr. K, I now have a far better and more nuanced understanding of what role gaming plays in my child's life, which has allowed me to communicate about gaming with less judgment and more compassion.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is coaching?
Coaching is commonly defined as a process to help improve a person's performance. It is a self-directed process that helps a person change in the way they wish to change. Coaching builds awareness, empowers choice, and leads to change.
HG Coaching will help you better understand how your mind works and provide a path forward, so you can build the life you want and you achieve your goals. This program is not meant to diagnose mental illness, prescribe medication, or be used for urgent health crises. Coaching is not therapy nor a substitute for therapy, and coaches are not therapists.
How is coaching different from therapy?
While both coaching and therapy use evidence-based techniques and intentional dialogue, there are important differences. Coaching is focused on "building" through planning, introspection, and awareness, while therapy is more about "fixing" something through clinical diagnoses, medication, and/or treatment. Coaching helps prioritize, set goals, and understand the root of discontent or unhappiness. Therapy is intended to alleviate clinical issues such as anxiety, depression, or trauma.
