Assuming you’re having a good experience with your counselor, can you share their name?

Sorry, we’re nit in DC anymore. She keeps her client list small and does no advertising. I just happened to co-coach my younger kids’ rec sport with her husband.

I will say, as a preliminary step, my child had to fill out a pretty extensive q&a, provide writing samples, of course her transcript and take a personality test. We also had to fill out a 2 page q&a for our goals on what we want from her services before our first meeting.

If you don’t have a recommendation for an independent college counselor or experience supporting an introverted kid through college applications, could you please post elsewhere?

Did you read the title or op? They asked for experiences OR recommendations.

Did you read what was posted? Most of the posts did not discuss experiences with an introverted child or recommendations for a counselor.
