Dru Cartier is a Teen Development Specialist, credentialed educator, and ICF-certified Teen Resilience Coach with dual Master's degrees in Adolescent Developmental Counseling and Teaching English. She's the founder of Whole Mindset Coaching & Education, where she combines academic support with social-emotional coaching to help teens build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self.

Dru's courses draw on evidence-based SEL practices, positive psychology, and her signature WHOLE Method™ framework to equip teens with practical tools to manage self-doubt, advocate for themselves, and show up with confidence in school and life. Her background in English Language Arts extends into college prep as well—helping students craft authentic, compelling college admission essays that reflect who they truly are, while providing the emotional support and SEL tools to navigate one of the most stressful seasons of a teen's life with confidence and clarity.

With over a decade of experience in public schools, online platforms, and one-on-one coaching, Dru creates judgment-free spaces where teens feel genuinely seen and supported. Her mission is simple: help young people develop the mindset, skills, and courage to thrive—academically, socially, and personally.
