Welcome to the
SelfScript Program

Empowering Young Minds through Neurolinguistic Coaching

Welcome to SelfScript, a research study offering free one-on-one sessions for adolescents and young adults (ages 13–22) in the Cambridge, MA area

What is this?
A free, one-on-one, research-based program designed to support teens and young adults through structured, language-centered sessions.

Who is this for?
Young people (ages 13–22) who are:

• Struggling with anxiety, overthinking, or negative self-talk

• Feeling overwhelmed by social media, school pressure, or identity questions

• Seeking clarity, focus, and tools for deeper self-understanding

• Interested in developing stronger thinking, resilience, and cognitive flexibility

• Open to engaging in reflective, language-based work

What am I offering?

• A month-long program of free, individual sessions (2–3 per week)

• Based on my own academic research into language, thought, and the brain

• Confidential and anonymous, as part of a formal research study

• Designed to help young people reframe unhelpful thought patterns and grow a stronger sense of self

About Me

I’m a researcher and writer with PhDs from Harvard University and the Sorbonne. My work focuses on the relationship between language, the mind, and the brain, drawing from neuroscience, psycholinguistics, and philosophy.

​

As a media scholar, I’m especially concerned about the cognitive effects of screen-based culture and social media on young minds. The SelfScript method is my response: a structured, language-centered approach to help adolescents and young adults build stronger, more flexible, and more self-aware ways of thinking.

What to Expect

• Introductory session (up to 3 hours): We establish trust, explore cognitive and emotional patterns, and introduce key techniques

• Core program: 2–3 sessions per week (45–90 minutes each) over the course of one month

• Post-program follow-up: After the initial month, participants are invited to continue with bi-monthly check-ins to support integration and ongoing development

• Future coaching option: Upon completion of the study (anticipated early 2026), participants will have the opportunity to transition into regular 1–2 sessions per week for longer-term coaching and support, if desired

• Sessions are held in person in Cambridge, MA and are provided at no cost.

​Please note: Because this is a one-on-one research-based program, I can only take on two participants per month.

​If the program is currently full, I will place you on the waitlist, and will reach out as soon as a spot opens—turnover happens approximately every two weeks.
