Our Approach

We believe in helping students figure out “what’s next” for them after high school. Students are not all the same, and the path they take should be as unique as they are. Our team works thoughtfully with each client, helping them discover their own strengths and interests, and help them find the places they will thrive–academically, socially, culturally, and financially.

Our Whole Child College Counseling™ approach helps students take ownership of their journey, improve self-advocacy skills, and strengthen the relationship with their parents. We put students at the center of the process. This means that we invite students to engage and participate in this relationship in an authentic and genuine way (and recognize and respect that vulnerability), have fun throughout the journey, and reduce stress and anxiety as much as possible. It’s not a “one size fits all” approach.

While there are “big picture” milestones that students will work toward, the pace at which we move is individualized. We have regular conversations with students about what is going on for them, and we make a plan together about due dates for specific tasks. Depending on their particular activities and commitments, some weeks are busier than others, so we plan around that. The more the client has some control over each piece, the more empowered and engaged they are.

We provide a concierge level of service that empowers students to take control of the process and allows parents to take a step back and enjoy the last years of high school with their child.
