“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Good Counsel. From the moment I had my first call with Suzanne & Susan, I felt welcomed and at ease. They helped me narrow down on a few college majors, and I’m so happy with the classes I chose for my first semester at undergrad. I feel like I’m on the right path to future success.”

I already have a college or career counselor at my school. Can I work with both of you?

Absolutely! We complement, rather than replace, the resources you already have. School counselors provide valuable support, but our services go beyond traditional counseling by focusing on aptitude assessments and personalized guidance.

Our goal is to empower students and families with the tools and direction needed for long-term success.
