[quote=Anonymous]What is the best way to find such a person?

Ask your friends and others.  Ideally, ask people who already have a kid in college and people with kids at other schools as they may be more likely to admit they used a counselor and share the information.  Ask work colleagues, friends, acquaintances, and parents in activities you or your kid are in.

They may or may not be willing to share the cost.  So, I would not even ask.  Instead, focus on asking what services they used the counselor for, were they happy with the outcome, etc.  You can get the contact info and find out pricing on your own.  This way you can narrow in on referrals that meet your needs (in your case you may be looking for full service).  (And, you do not have to spend tens of thousands.)

Then start making calls. I would recommend finding one or two that you like and then have your child talk to them (a good counselor will probably not take the job without talking to you both).  This also means your DC will have a stake in who they are working with.[/quote]
