• "Bernadette is able to take an extremely overwhelming and grueling task and somehow make it approachable for teenagers. She believes in building strong connections and getting to know her clients. In the beginning, she led my son through activities and asked questions that allowed him to better understand what he is looking for in a college. She provides detailed instructions on the “to do” list. She shows no judgement and is extremely approachable and was always available to answer any questions. I am beyond grateful for her guidance through what felt like a very daunting task."

  • "One thing I liked about this process was our brainstorming sessions and the rounds of questions you would ask to help stimulate my brain. Especially when I was stuck, those questions opened up my mind, and allowed me to say the things I was having a hard time voicing or saying out loud. Your process was a great mix of timeliness and deadlines, combined with creative and interesting brainstorms, to create an amazing end product that I am very proud of and satisfied with. Another great thing was the quickness and quality of your feedback. Your comments helped me effectively edit my essays without having too much of a crutch from you."

  • “Thank you so much for your guidance through this process! I really don't know how I could have done it in that period without your help and I can't express my appreciation enough. Personally, I feel that the structure of deadlines and our planner helped me the best. I feel that our in person meetings were always so informative. You always would have the resources available to answer my questions, and great feedback that helped me develop my writing skills, and develop the skill to write about myself.”

  • “We worked with Bernadette for two very different teenagers. Her approach was tailored to each of them and helped them find what they valued and where they truly belonged. She also helped bring a “calm to the storm” in our household and provided so many great resources for parents too."
