About Hi, I’m Holly. I am a former college professor and advisor, an admissions consultant, and a parent coach. I will help you empower your teen to experience the college application process as enlightening, self-affirming, and–ultimately–rewarding, ensuring that your relationship flourishes even as it evolves. Holly Schreiber, PhD Watershed (n.): an event or time period that signals a transformation in one’s actions or perspectives. WHY? I want your kid to succeed. As a college professor and advisor, I experienced firsthand the qualities that led to academic success in my students. Thriving students usually arrived on campus: grounded by a firm self-identity confident in their ability to meet challenges empowered to seek the resources they need inspired by a deeply personal motivation to succeed Later, as an admissions consultant, I saw how applying to college could actually provide the training ground for building these characteristics. Under the right circumstances–and granted enough independence–I’ve seen teens become capable architects of their own futures, all the while knowing that their parents are there for them every step of the way. I also noticed that parents struggle to understand their role in the process. They are grappling with big questions: Am I doing too much or too little? Am I missing something important? How can I manage my own stress without transferring it to my teen? Learning to help your teen take charge of their educational journey is not just about stepping back–it’s about stepping forward into a new role and relationship. And it’s a tremendous opportunity for growth for everyone involved. HOW? To help you embrace this opportunity, I’ve developed a coaching program to clarify and enact strategies that ensure your teen’s optimal academic and social development. My approach is grounded in Seven Spheres of Growth: Clarity Communication Compassion Cooperation Confidence Calmness Consistency By identifying strengths and areas for improvement within these spheres, you can holistically transform your relationship with your teen, just at the time when they need it most.
