Is your rebellious teen refusing & resisting help?
Life isn’t just about surviving, it’s about learning how to thrive, and sometimes teens need to do it on their own.
My Heart Academy is
a Self-Empowerment Curriculum
for Teens and Young Adults
Self-paced curriculum with the option to add
4 month long peer community + group coaching during the winter months.
Therapy didn't help your teenager and you can't find the "right" medication.
Are you the parent of a teen or twenty something who is struggling and nothing seems to work? They either say no, avoid talking, or you're on the perpetual search for a provider?
You know your teen is burned out, full of anxiety, depression, anger, isolation. Or they are just… done. Maybe even self-harm is a concern.
As a parent you want to help and support your growing child as they spread their wings and leave the nest. You're in the right place if:
You want support for your teen that incorporates the mind, body and soul.
You want your twenty something to lean into possibilities and trust themselves in the process.
You see their pain and you want to remind them of their worth, if only they would listen to Mom!
Just IMAGINE what an EMPOWERED young person who BELIEVES in their WORTH could experience
"My son found My Heart Academy at the exact right time. He was unclear of his next steps after high school and the internal pressure was mounting. Working with Kelly gave my son a safe space to explore his wants and needs. He enjoyed the curriculum and sessions so much and looked forward to the opportunities to process and practice."
"Strengths based. Whole person. Root cause. Dream inspired.
I LOVE everything Kelly offers. And better yet, my teenager and twenty three year old LOVE everything Kelly offers."
"Kelly is the role model I want for my teenagers. And they soak up the information! We’ve struggled in the past with their buy-in, but not with Kelly Taxter Wellness. My teens felt comfortable and curious, instantly. Don’t wait to call Kelly. She’s the best."
What is My Heart Academy?
My Heart Academy is an empowerment curriculum for teens and young adults (13+).
It’s not therapy. It’s not another thing to fix your teen. It’s a space to finally understand themselves, with tools that actually make sense.
Inside, teens and young adults will find a strengths-based, self-paced course filled with coaching videos, mindset shifts, and reflection prompts designed to help your teen/twenty something:
Build self-awareness & worth
Get clear on their values & beliefs
Move through all feelings with full expression
Create a life that feels aligned, not forced
Teens can move through the coursework privately, on their own terms. Or, if extra support is desired, teens can add on four months of peer community during the winter months. Life coaching calls with others doing this work too. No pressure. Just an invitation to get unstuck.
The Transformation of My Heart Academy
This isn’t about "fixing" your teen. It’s about them finally feeling like themselves, leaning towards loving themselves and learning how to trust themselves.
By the end of My Heart Academy, your teen (ages 13 - young adult/early twenties) will:
Know how to listen to their inner voice sooner and with more conviction
Have tools for processing all feelings without getting as stuck
Feel less confused, less alone, and more rooted in who they are
Understand their own values and
how to live from them
Feel more connected to seasonal living and leaning on Mother Nature and Mama Moon for guidance
Trust themselves to make choices
that actually feel good
With My Heart Academy, your teen/twenty something will understand their wiring, their rhythms, their needs and how to honor them.
This is about creating inner stability,
no matter what’s happening outside of you.
That’s what real empowerment looks like.
Sneak Peek: Inside the
Life Curriculum Workbook
Inside, your teen will find:
Values Check-In — Clarify what matters (and what doesn’t).
Seasons of Life Reflection — Explore what season their in and what it’s asking of them.
Energy Audit — Notice where their time and energy go—and where they’d rather it flow.
Self-Talk Inventory — Start shifting the internal voice that’s been running the show.
Courage Planning — Take brave baby steps toward their goals (without burning out).
“My daughter moves through her days now with intention and a belief in herself that was nonexistent prior to working with you.”
- Parent of a Teen Participant
Each page is designed to meet your teen where they are - and guide them back to that little inner voice they are learning to hear and trust.
Nice to Meet You
Hi, I'm Kelly, the host and guide for this experience. I spent adolescence being a people-pleaser, like my mom. My twenties were full of chaos and coping, following addictive patterns I inherited from my dad.
And when I became a mom in my thirties, everything shifted. It brought all the parts of me to the surface - and asked me to choose differently.
What brought me to supporting teens and young adults in this holistic way?
Maybe it’s my trauma-informed counseling background, my years as a licensed therapist, my training in wellness coaching, personal training background, or skills in family systems. But after two decades of experience working with teens and families (from teen residential treatment, to inpatient rehab to home-based family counseling), I am bringing it all together to create the support I feel deep in my bones that is needed to create real change for this generation.
Not to repeat what’s broken.
But to create something new.
Something whole-person, strengths-based, and rooted
in self-trust.
My Heart Academy is the space I wish I had as a teen.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Nope. My Heart Academy is not therapy. It’s a self-guided empowerment curriculum that supports mental wellness, emotional regulation, self-trust, and identity building. It can complement therapy - but doesn’t replace it.
Teens and young adults, age 13+, who are ready for a fresh way to think about themselves, their emotions, and their future. Some are in crisis. Some are just feeling stuck. All are welcome.
Parents: you are not enrolling yourself - but you are playing a powerful role by introducing your teen to this support.
Kelly Taxter brings over 20 years of experience in youth and family mental health. She’s a trauma-informed master's level counselor, certified wellness coach, certified personal trainer, and former licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who chose to step outside the traditional system to create something more effective. She has spent her professional career working within a teen residential treatment program, inpatient addiction rehabilitation, home-based family counseling and private outpatient counseling. Her approach blends evidence-based strategies with intuitive, whole-person support—meeting teens and young adults where they are, and guiding them toward emotional resilience, self-love, and empowered decision-making. She’s worked with hundreds of families and is known for earning the trust and buy-in of even the most skeptical teens.
This isn’t a private coaching container. If you choose the Peer Community option, teens and young adults have the chance to attend a live monthly group call with Kelly, plus weekly group check-ins, but there’s no direct 1:1 support. Kelly does offer 1:1 coaching but it is a separate rate and not included in the Academy options.
You can’t force healing or growth. But you can plant the seed. That’s why we created a free masterclass specifically for youth—so they can feel into whether this is a fit. Watch it here.
My Heart Academy is designed for teens and young adults navigating a wide range of emotional challenges, including anxiety and depression, low self-worth, sadness, unhealthy or no relationships with peers, lack of boundaries, poor risk assessment, and even self-harm. This is a supportive space - not a clinical one.
While the curriculum can be a powerful complement to therapy or other forms of care, it is not a substitute for crisis intervention or emergency mental health support. If your teen is in immediate danger or needs urgent care, please prioritize reaching out to emergency services. If you’re unsure whether this program is the right fit, feel free to reach out before enrolling.
Due to the instant access to digital content, there are no refunds. Please explore our free resources first if you're uncertain - and email us with any lingering questions.
Hear From Real Students
We're transforming into a loving household
Kelly, we appreciate you so much. I was losing hope for my family, and I know my daughter was in her darkest moments when we found you and not a moment too soon! You have been exactly what we’ve needed. My daughter moves through her days now with intention and a belief in herself that was nonexistent prior to working with you. I see effort, she feels change. I believe we are transforming into a loving household again and it is thanks to your work!
I'm So Grateful My Mom Reached Out To Kelly
I think of Kelly as a second mom and I am SO grateful my mom reached out to Kelly when she did. I was 12 and a mess. I believed I was useless and the way I acted reinforced it. Working with Kelly was a completely different mindset, different from all the talk therapy I’d done for years, and felt....better right from the start. It was exciting to think the mainstream mental health methods weren’t the only option. I like thinking in terms of possibilities vs limitations. I have hope now.
Incredibly Thankful That We Crossed Paths
We value your contribution in the girl's lives so much! Please know that I could not be more appreciative of your support all of these years and I feel incredibly thankful that we crossed paths. You have been there through the darkest twists and turns and I really feel that without you, it may have taken longer to find the light at the end of the tunnel. I don’t know how to emphasize that enough. YOU ARE AMAZING KELLY!!! We love you so much.
I Just Celebrated My Fifth Year Being Coached By Her
I decided to work with Kelly because I tried talk therapy a number of times and never felt like it worked for me. A friend who saw Kelly recommended her when I was in high school and I just celebrated my fifth year being coached by her.
Kelly tells it like it is, calls me on my crap and I have so much respect for that. I am there to get honest and grow as a person. Her style works really well for me.
I’m proud of my efforts. Really proud.
