I’m Tewanda Hardy — Founder & CEO of Project Inside Out Teens, a wife, homeschool mom, and youth group instructor. I hold a BSW and MSW, specialize in social-emotional wellness for tweens, teens, and youth on the spectrum, and bring along 20+ years of professional social work experience.

But, here’s the most important part: the students that I work with couldn't care less about my credentials or work experience — what matter's most to them is that I am patient, meet them where they are, and genuinely care about their well-being.

I create safe, non-clinical groups where students explore who they are from the inside out and grow towards their best selves. My approach blends small group instruction, peer connection, social-emotional learning, the development of wellness habits, and independent living skills that help youth navigate the complex realities of modern adolescence — from confidence and connection to critical thinking and resilience.
