Coleman College Counseling & Career Coaching
Every client I work with starts the same way with a short, no-pressure conversation. We talk through where you are, what you're hoping for, and whether working together makes sense. There's no obligation, no sales pitch, and no commitment required. Just a conversation between two people trying to figure out the right next step.
What to Expect During the Call
The Discovery Call is a free, 15–20-minute phone conversation. Whether you're a parent navigating the college process with your teenager, a student planning your transfer, a graduate school applicant, a young professional exploring career coaching, or anyone in between who isn't quite sure where to start.
During our call, we'll cover:
• Where you are right now: your situation, your stage, and any immediate concerns
• What you're hoping to accomplish
• Which services might be the right fit for your specific situation
• Any questions you have about how I work, what's included, and what to expect
By the end of the call, you'll have a clear sense of whether working together makes sense, and if it does, exactly where to start. There is no obligation to book a service after the call

Questions
Q: My student is only in 9th grade. Is it too early? It's not, and a Discovery Call is a great way to figure out what, if anything, makes sense right now. There's no pressure to start a full service. Sometimes a single session is all a family needs at this stage.
Q: We're already in the middle of senior year. Is it too late? It's not too late. I work with families at every point in senior year, including families who reach out in October or November when deadlines are close. Reach out today.
"I'm a transfer student. Is this service right for me?" Absolutely. I work with community college students planning to transfer to a UC, CSU, or private university, and with students transferring from one four-year institution to another. The transfer process is complex, and the details matter, which is exactly why having support makes such a meaningful difference.
Q: I'm applying to graduate school. Do you work with graduate applicants? Yes, I work with students applying to Master's programs, PhD programs, and professional programs, including MD, JD, PsyD, PA, and others. A Discovery Call is the right place to figure out whether my services are a good fit for your specific programs and timeline.
Q: I'm looking for career coaching. Is that different from college counseling? It is, and it's a full service I offer. Whether you're a college student figuring out your major and first career steps or a young professional reconsidering your direction, career coaching starts the same way every other service does — with a Discovery Call to figure out what you need and what the right plan looks like.
Q: I'm not sure we can afford it. Payment plans are always available, and services range from a single strategy session to comprehensive multi-year packages. A Discovery Call is the right place to figure out what fits your budget without any pressure to commit to anything.
Q: Do you work virtually? Yes. Virtual meetings allow students and families flexibility while still creating personalized and highly supportive guidance throughout the process.
