Why Work With Us?

At Holistic College Counseling, we believe the best guidance begins with truly knowing the student. We take the time to understand each student's strengths, interests, goals, challenges, and individual learning needs before determining the best path forward.

​

Our collaborative team brings expertise across high school planning, college admissions, academic and learning support, executive functioning, student-athlete recruiting, test preparation, and the transition to college. Families have one trusted place to turn, with access to specialized support when,and if,it is needed.

​

Just as importantly, we don't believe the process should be driven by pressure or a checklist of what a student should be doing. We help students make thoughtful, intentional choices, take greater ownership of their path, and recognize the strengths they already bring to the table.

​

The result is a process that feels more manageable for families and more meaningful for students; built around clarity, confidence, and finding the path that is right for them.

TESTIMONIALS

What Past Students & Parents Are Saying...

Val & Mark , Class 2027 Parents

Working with Heather was one of the best decisions we made during the college process. Our daughter usually resists guidance from us, but she connected with Heather right away. Heather coached her to finish her college essay early, which took so much stress off our family. She also took the time to understand our daughter's personality and recommend schools that were a true fit. We're so grateful for her patience and insight, and we'd recommend her without hesitation.

Class of 2026

"I always left meetings feeling less stressed and more confident. Heather broke the process into manageable steps and helped me stay organized without feeling overwhelmed."

Jennifer, Class of 2025 & 2027 Parent 

Heather is an excellent resource for high school students and families navigating the college application process. She understands what colleges are looking for and is able to thoughtfully match each student with colleges that are the right fit for them. Heather is compassionate, patient, and kind. She has worked with both of my children, and I have been incredibly grateful for her guidance and support. My son is currently a sophomore at Penn State, and my daughter will be attending college in the fall of 2027. One of Heather’s greatest strengths is her empathy. She genuinely cares about the families she works with, but most importantly, she cares deeply about the individual student. She takes the time to understand each student’s strengths, interests, and goals and helps them feel confident throughout the process. "Heather was instrumental in helping my son, Matthew, make a thoughtful decision between two very different colleges. Matthew was able to discuss the reasons he wanted to attend each school, and Heather was able to guide him with what his priorities were in a school. I am incredibly grateful for her support and highly recommend Heather to a family navigating this process."

Dierdre, Class of 2027 Parent 

Heather was instrumental in helping my son, Liam, with his college essay. Within one meeting, Heather had already helped Liam brainstorm and select his essay topic and he had a clear path forward. I was so impressed with his essay and know it will be a strong addition to his college applications. I can’t tell you what a relief it was to have his essay done for the start of his senior year. It took a lot of stress and anxiety away! I highly recommend Heather in helping to make the college journey a smoother process.

Kristine, Class 2027 Parent

Heather quickly built a relationship of trust with my daughter, took the time to understand what she was looking for, and helped refine her college list to find the right fit. Heather has been great at keeping the entire application process organized and moving forward, while making sure my daughter feels ownership along the way. I’m so grateful for Heather’s guidance and support; she has taken so much stress out of this process for both of us. I would recommend her without hesitation!
