Looking for a life coach or mentor in Beverly Hills? Blackburn Mentoring offers private, one-on-one mentoring with a single dedicated mentor, in person in Los Angeles or by video. Clients set specific goals, work on them in weekly steps and have text and phone contact with their mentor between sessions.
Privacy and a steady relationship
Many Beverly Hills families are used to a long list of advisors. What they usually want from a mentor is different: one consistent person who knows the young adult well, keeps things confidential and is honest with them. Each client keeps the same mentor. Updates go to parents or family only with the client’s permission, or as agreed on the intro call for high school students.
Common reasons Beverly Hills clients reach out
- A teenager with real ability and little drive, where every reminder turns into an argument (motivating a teen at school)
- A young adult who has resources but no clear direction, and who is tired of being asked about it (young adult mentoring)
- Pressure to join or live up to a family business, and the wish to test their own path first
- Professionals who want accountability on health, fitness or a career decision, without adding another meeting that goes nowhere (mentoring for professionals)
Independence is the real goal
When money is not the main constraint, it is easy for a young adult to skip the small skills that build confidence: booking their own appointments, managing a budget, showing up to a job they found themselves. Mentors focus on those skills on purpose. The aim is a person who handles their own life, not one who needs a mentor forever.
- Weekly goals the client chooses, not ones handed down
- Practical life skills: calendars, bills, cooking, a budget and a first job
- Honest feedback when plans slip, and a reset instead of a lecture
Meeting in person or by video
Beverly Hills is central, but crossing it at midday along Wilshire or Santa Monica Boulevard still takes time. Mentors meet in person in Los Angeles where that helps, for example over a walk or a coffee, and by video when schedules are full or a client is away at school or traveling. Plenty of clients use both.
Where a mentor fits with other support
Mentors are not tutors, therapists, doctors or admissions counselors. With permission, they coordinate with the professionals a family already has, so the young adult hears one consistent message. If stress, low mood, anxiety or drinking and drug use are part of the picture, a licensed professional is the right step, and a mentor can work alongside one with your permission. In a crisis, call or text 988.

Common questions
Is mentoring confidential?
Yes. What a client shares stays between them and their mentor, except for progress updates they agree to, or that a parent agrees to for a high school student, and any safety concern.
Can a mentor help a young adult who has never had a job?
Yes. Finding, starting and keeping a first job is one of the most common goals we work on.
Can a mentor work with a student who is away at school?
Yes. Students away at college keep the same mentor by video, scheduled in their local time zone, with in-person sessions when they are home in Los Angeles.
Do you publish rates?
No. Rates depend on session length and frequency and are reviewed on the free intro call.
