The process of choosing the right program to apply to can be daunting. We advise you on schools that you should apply to and which degrees will be the best fit (PhD vs. PsyD vs. MSW). Assistance with the organization of application materials and the Centralized Application Service (PSYCAS) can also be provided.

The personal statement is one of the most important components of the application. We assist in writing a powerful statement that will make you stand out among the many other qualified candidates. We can also provide tailoring to your statement to each program you are applying to as each one is unique.

TESTIMONIALS
What Clients Are Saying
As a doctoral student applying to APA accredited internships, I was completely lost in the overwhelming process. Jenn reached out a helping hand, and with that, I will be attending one of my top ranked internship placements this July.
Fourth-Year PsyD Student
I worked with Jenn last year on my applications to psychology doctoral programs. She was extremely knowledgeable about the different types of programs I should I apply to and how to set myself apart in my materials. Applying to programs right out of undergrad was daunting, but with Jenn’s guidance and unwavering support, I ended up not only getting into one program, but three!
Incoming Clinical Psychology Doctoral Student
Jenn provided valuable insight on different sites that helped me strategize about how to reach my short-term and long-term goals. Jenn reviewed my externship cover letters, provided specific feedback, and helped me to prepare for my externship interviews, which I think was critical in helping me match at my top choice externship site this year.
