Rory Valentine Diller
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
Being a young person in a world run by adults can often feel really hard! I have worked with children and youth for over 10 years around issues related to self-esteem, social anxiety, bullying, child abuse, domestic violence, sexual abuse, LGBTQ identities, alcohol and substance use, suicidal thoughts, and self-injuring behaviors. I use a full spectrum of creative mediums, work with therapy horses, and themes from pop culture, movies, music, TV, and comics in sessions to help younger folks feel comfortable and engaged in treatment.

Unlocking the Power of GRIT in Children: Fostering Resilience, Independence, and Growth
GRIT, that remarkable ability to persevere in the pursuit of long-term goals even when faced with adversity, is a quality we all desire for our children. It's the cornerstone of resilience, a vital trait that paves the way for independence and success. And at Well Coached Life, we believe in cultivating GRIT in children from the earliest possible age.
GRIT Kids—Who Are They?
GRIT Kids represent a diverse spectrum of young individuals, ranging from the bold to the timid, the curious to the cautious, the serious to the playful. They encompass children between the ages of 2 and 12, each on their unique journey of self-discovery and growth.
The GRIT Kids Mission:
At Well Coached Life, we've established GRIT Kids with a singular purpose: to provide parents and caregivers with the tools and guidance they need to nurture self-awareness in their children at every developmental stage. We understand that simple behavioral management isn't enough to cultivate the internal locus of control required for character development and self-discipline.
Why GRIT Matters:
GRIT is more than just a buzzword; it's a vital life skill. It's about teaching children to persevere, adapt, and transform in the face of challenges. It's about fostering curiosity about their own thoughts and feelings, enabling them to develop insight, evolve, and embrace their unique potential.

Our dedicated team of GRIT Kids Coaches is specially trained to assist you in the intentional upbringing of your child. We provide the guidance and support needed to help your child form a strong self-identity, learn to live with purpose, and grow into their fullest, most capable self.

Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My majority of my clinical experience and practice is working with adolescents, young adults and college students. I love working with adolescents as they have a unique and creative perspective on life and what they are struggling about. Adolescents often do not feel heard or seen and my work includes understanding of what they are trying to express to those within their life. Much of my clinical work allows for adolescents to gain some understanding of their situation and how to communicate with their parents and those within their circle of support.
