Coaching is a personal service that supports young people and adults seeking clarity, confidence, and direction, especially during times of transition or stress. My coaching work combines educational insight, personal development experience, and social work training to provide compassionate and actionable support, tailored to your unique needs.

Note: Coaching is not a substitute for therapy. It does not include clinical diagnosis or treatment.

Emotional Regulation and Confidence-Building

Identity Exploration and Self-Advocacy

Coming in 2027

Therapeutic Strategies

As a dual-degree candidate in Clinical Social Work and women’s and gender studies, I will begin offering therapeutic services in June 2027.

Note: Supervised practice under a licensed clinician ensures that you receive high-quality care. This means that while I will be the primary point of contact, I will receive regular supervision and guidance from a more experienced professional, which enhances the quality of the service you receive.

Testimonials

Kind Words From Clients

Kind Words From Clients

We have used several tutors for our son . We have been so pleased with the positive outcomes that Stephanie has accomplished with our son who suffers with ADHD and Dyslexia. His reading, writing and confidence levels all improved. He was happy, too. She has a lot of patience, knowledge and experience. I truly highly recommend her expertise.

Our family has worked with Stephanie since 2014. She began as a homework helper, but she quickly became so much more. Stephanie has been integral to our son and daughter's success. My son will attend Georgetown this upcoming fall (Stephanie helped with his applications and essays) and my daughter will begin the application process soon. Stephanie is an excellent tutor. She's a find!

With Stephanie’s help, I felt so much better studying for the SAT and ACT. The second time I took the tests, I knew how to pace myself and show my best work.

[Stephanie] helped me transition from college into my first job. I still meet with her remotely to help me with my performance and develop better strategies as I learn more about being a new employee.

About Stephanie

Hi, I’m Stephanie Hoos, an experienced educator and emerging clinical social worker with over a decade of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families through literacy interventions, social-emotional support, and inclusive, family-based care.


I’m currently pursuing dual Master’s degrees in Clinical Social Work and Women’s & Gender Studies at Southern Connecticut State University, where I’m deepening my practice at the intersection of education, advocacy, and mental health.


My approach is rooted in the belief that people thrive when they are seen, heard, and supported within nurturing environments. I bring warmth, structure, and deep listening to all my work—whether I’m guiding a middle schooler through reading and writing difficulties, helping a teen with executive function, supporting a professional seeking next steps or a new career opportunity, or partnering with a parent during family transitions.

My professional background includes teaching at The Windward School, King School, and ACES Academic Programs, where I collaborated with educators, families, and mental health professionals to meet both academic and emotional needs. I’ve also served in DEI leadership roles, consistently centering equity and inclusion in my practice.


Currently, I work as the Front Office Manager at Cold Spring School in New Haven, staying grounded in community-based care while completing my graduate training. My first internship is at the Women & Family Life Center, where I hope to support women as they navigate major life transitions.


Whether you’re looking for academic coaching, subject-based tutoring, or family-centered guidance, I’m here to support you with kindness, curiosity, and compassion.
