College Counseling

The more organic process that builds towards college counseling begins with coaching and mentoring.

However, in some cases, students realize their need for support in this realm later in high school.

Don’t worry, it’s not too late! My work with students who find me later in their high school career is still very fruitful.

College applications tend to be at the forefront of the work in many of these cases but the deeper work lies in the evolution of self that comes through the process.

Essay support, interview preparation, college list research, and application strategy all have a place in the college counseling support I provide students and their families, but at the center, it’s about the actual journey, not the outcome of the “perfect” or “best” college acceptance.

How We Work Together:

  • A Values-based Process

    The compass we will use to guide our work will be the values and norms we co-create to maintain our shared commitment to a healthy and meaningful process.

  • Initial Call

    To begin the process of working together, email me to schedule a 30 minute consultation call to see if we are a good fit. If we decide to work together, we will create a plan that works for your family that includes family and student zoom meetings as well as asynchronous work via google docs.

  • Zoom Meetings + Asynchronous Work

    I meet with students, their parents/guardians, and sometimes we meet all together. These meetings inspire thought-provoking questions and reflections to understand what is driving the student and their aspirations.

How To Contact Me:

Due to the highly personalized nature of my work, I cap the number of families I work with per year and have an intake process to make sure we are a good fit.

I invite you to schedule a 30-minute introductory call to learn more about what our work together could look like.

If we decide to work together, the cost of this initial call will be credited towards your first contract.

Please reach out by sending an email to: dotkowalcoaching@gmail.com. I look forward to connecting with you within 24-48 hours.
