Helping kids — and the adults who support them — grow real-world social skills and confidence.
Could your child benefit from support with…
- making and keeping friends
- joining in and staying in play
- reading and responding to social cues
- managing “too much silly”
- solving peer conflicts
- building confidence
- learning to stick up for themselves
This is the place where they’ll gain those skills. It’s non-clinical social skills support — because friendship shouldn’t feel clinical or complicated.
Welcome!
I offer private social skills coaching for kids at my antique farmhouse in Boxborough, MA — complete with indoor and outdoor spaces designed for real play and social learning.
During the school year, I offer award-winning social groups for children in Grades K–6. Older students can join the Junior Coach-in-Training (JCIT) Program for Grades 7-12, where they step into leadership roles while mentoring younger kids. Each summer, I also offer friendship-focused programs for children and teens.
Our setting is welcoming, playful, and deliberately unstructured — creating a real-time social coaching environment where kids can practice the skills that matter most for friendship and confidence.

What Sets Our Social Coaching Apart
At the Peter Pan Center, we coach kids in social skills through real play and in-the-moment guidance — never clinical treatment. Many children simply need non-clinical coaching, mentoring, and practice — not therapy — to grow the skills they find challenging. Think of it as social tutoring for kids: the same kind of targeted help you’d give a child who struggles with math or reading.
Our programs replicate the trickiest parts of the school day — recess, lunch, and other unstructured times — where kids often need the most support. We provide a fun, supportive social coaching “safety net” where kids can try, learn, and build real friendships and confidence.
Every child is an individual. There’s no one-size-fits-all curriculum here — just warm, responsive coaching that meets each child where they are.
Families often come to us with children who are neurotypical, socially anxious, have ADHD, are autistic (Level 1), or are AuDHD (with both ADHD and autism). These children benefit from social understanding being taught clearly, not assumed.
