Melissa Balgobin
Executive functioning CBT: Strategic Productivity and Life Coach
Melissa Balgobin is from the Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago, where she completed high school before moving to the U.S. for college. This international perspective has shaped her approach to education and personal development. She has always been driven by a passion for helping others, and with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in clinical psychology from Barry University, she has dedicated her career to positively impacting the lives of individuals struggling with autism, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. Since 2007, Melissa has worked as a social support therapist, beginning as an intern and steadily advancing in her career. Her work in this field has been both rewarding and eye-opening, deepening her understanding of the challenges faced by those with mental health conditions.
In 2013, Melissa expanded her focus by becoming an educator in the secondary public school system. During this time, she recognized a significant gap in the preparedness of students transitioning from high school to college. Many students lacked essential skills in planning, organizing, and time management—skills crucial for success in higher education and beyond. This realization sparked a new passion for Melissa: helping students bridge the gap between academic readiness and personal development.
The COVID-19 pandemic marked a turning point in her career. Wanting to make an even greater impact, Melissa decided to pivot and become a life coach. She realized that by helping students develop time management, organizational skills, and self-help strategies, she could empower them to achieve their goals more effectively. Melissa is particularly passionate about equipping students with tools to navigate academic pressures while building confidence in their abilities. Her approach to life coaching emphasizes equipping students with essential strategies for planning and time management—skills often overlooked but critical for long-term success. Through her coaching, she teaches students how to break down large tasks into manageable steps, prioritize responsibilities, and create structured plans aligned with their academic and personal goals. Her methods help students stay organized and reduce the overwhelming feeling that can come from juggling multiple deadlines and obligations.
A key strategy Melissa focuses on is goal setting, encouraging students to set clear, achievable objectives with realistic timelines. She believes students need to understand the difference between short-term and long-term goals, using each as a stepping-stone toward greater achievements. Melissa also stresses the importance of flexibility in planning, helping students adjust their schedules when unexpected challenges arise without feeling defeated or falling behind.
In time management, Melissa teaches practical techniques like time blocking, where specific chunks of time are allocated for different tasks, ensuring all areas of responsibility are addressed. She emphasizes the importance of balancing work and rest, teaching students to schedule breaks and practice self-care to avoid burnout. Through regular check-ins and reflective exercises, Melissa encourages students to evaluate their progress and continuously improve their approach to time.
Melissa’s coaching extends beyond managing academics. She incorporates self-help strategies like mindfulness, stress management, and self-discipline to help students stay motivated and focused. Her goal is to empower students to take control of their time, gain confidence in their ability to plan, and develop habits that will benefit them throughout their educational journeys and into their careers. Ultimately, Melissa’s approach centers on helping students build a foundation of skills that promotes both academic achievement and personal growth, giving them the tools needed to succeed not just in school, but in life.
