Transition Action-Planning

Ms. Hahn is qualified to evaluate individual persons in needs, strengths, abilities, and interests and determine what supports and services might be necessary for them to accomplish their personal goals in education, employment, independent living, wellness, and relationships. As a result, she has completed many personalized comprehensive functional assessments with planning for necessary supports and services to build skills in cognitive, academic, behavioral, psychological, emotional, and social areas.

When providing holistic Transition Action-Planning, she considers available records (medical, psychological/psychiatric, and educational), input from professionals, her own professional observations during interviews, family input, and the individual’s wishes and concerns. After obtaining much information, she then develops with the client a personalized Transition Action Plan. The final plan consists of a detailed report outlining what supports and services should be considered to meet client’s needs and enable them to accomplish their goals.

Coaching for Skill-building

Learning, applying, and transferring skills for:

  • College or trade schools

  • Community living

  • Social and relationships

  • Employment

Skills-based coaching is customized to the individual, but some common needs are: test-taking, organization & study skills, interviewing techniques, problem-solving, communication at work, socializing in a group, how to build a romantic relationship, establishing routines and self-advocacy. Self-direction, self-advocacy, and generalized skills across settings is often specifically taught as well.

​

Coaching is different from counseling because it is focused on skill-building (and sometimes on confidence-building) for persons who are already experiencing success in their lives and just want to enhance their lives in specific areas. They simply want to progress further toward their full potential. Ms. Hahn provides guidance and encouragement as persons take risks to progress to new heights.

Coaching for skill-building is educational and action-oriented. Working with each individual, she teaches skills and how to apply those skills to accomplish goals in education, careers, and community living. She also works with each person to develop concrete, action-oriented steps to accomplish specific goals.

So that the individual can accomplish their goals, she teaches cognitive, behavioral, social, psychological, and emotional concepts and skills that the individual can learn, practice, and incorporate into everyday living as healthy habits. Self-monitoring for awareness (including metacognition and progress/regression), action-oriented goal-setting and attainment, and maintaining healthy habits empower a person ultimately to become more independent and fully energized to maintain confident well-being and success. Often clients progress to the point that coaching is no longer necessary.

Ms. Hahn is passionate about fully understanding each person and empowering them to progress. Hence, she listens deeply, inquires fully, and tailors the counseling process to best meet an individual’s needs, strengths, abilities, and interests.

Whole Person Identity

Each person is multifaceted, a whole person and not just a collection of parts. Ms. Hahn guides persons in exploring each aspect of their identity and how the aspects intersect to form their fully-integrated personal identity.

Individuals are not simple; individuals are not labels. Ms. Hahn recognizes that each person is multicultural and multifaceted.

 

You or your loved one is not simply a “ ______[apply label here]____.” Each person is a unique combination of their ancestral heritages, place(s) they were raised, persons they were raised with, racial and social backgrounds, lived experiences, values, lifestyle, choices, and groups they identify with. It is the intersection of these “parts” as well as who they choose to be and to become that create their multicultural identity.

Strength-based

You do not fit into a box: you are a unique individual with many strengths. When painful childhood experiences, maltreatment due to disabilities, dangerous environments, overwhelming oppression, abuse, or other significant adversities occur, persons may lose sight of their successes and their potential. 

Ms. Hahn’s goal is to provide services for persons to discover their multitude of strengths while guiding them toward obtaining empowerment and the supports and services they may need to overcome hurdles in their lives.

 

Once those strengths have been identified, deepened, and expanded, Ms. Hahn empowers persons to connect those strengths to create an action plan for progress towards their full potential.
