How a Skateboard Therapist Helps Teens Manage Stress & Anxiety

We know the end of the school year is intense for you and your student. That’s why we brought back Clayton Norman, a trusted mental health therapist (who works with both adolescents and pro skateboarders), for an exclusive conversation on anxiety, procrastination, and what truly helps students succeed.

In this sit-down, Clayton and Brandon discuss how procrastination often stems from emotional overwhelm, why students resist slowing down, and how connection, not correction—can be the most powerful motivator. They also touch on the role of executive function coaching in these moments, and how families can help students build a summer routine that restores energy while maintaining growth.

From mindfulness to co-regulation to strategic support systems, this interview unpacks practical strategies for supporting students through overwhelming moments and preparing them for a better summer.

This is one of our most grounding and encouraging interviews yet. Thank you for being part of this community and continuing to walk beside your student with empathy and purpose.
