Found Path Mentoring
How I Can Help
The path to graduate school in the helping professions is rarely straightforward—and the process of getting there deserves more than guesswork. Whether you are applying for the first time, rebuilding after a difficult cycle, or navigating the transition from a master's degree to doctoral training, the process deserves more than guesswork. Here is what we will work on together.
Understanding the Landscape
Before you can build a competitive application, you need to understand how this process actually works—and it works differently than most people expect. I will walk you through the structure of graduate training in the helping professions, explain the differences between degree types and program models, clarify what admissions committees are really looking for, and help you develop a realistic picture of your candidacy. For many clients, this foundation changes everything that comes after.
Building a Competitive Profile
Sometimes the most important work happens before the application cycle begins. If there are gaps in your experience, your coursework, or your professional record, I will help you identify them and develop a concrete plan to address them. This might mean targeted volunteer work, specific courses, research experience, or other activities that will meaningfully strengthen your candidacy by the time you apply.
Finding Your Best-Fit Programs
Applying to graduate school without a thoughtful program list is one of the most common and costly mistakes applicants make. I will help you research and evaluate programs based on your goals, your background, your clinical interests, and your realistic profile as a candidate—so that every application you submit represents a genuine opportunity.
Developing Your CV or Resume
Your CV or resume is often the first document an admissions committee reviews. I will work with you through multiple drafts to ensure it accurately represents your experience, reflects the conventions of the field you are entering, and presents you as a serious, prepared candidate.
Crafting Your Essays and Personal Narrative
Your personal statement and any supplemental essays are where your application comes alive. This is also where most applicants struggle most. I will work with you through as many drafts as the process requires—helping you find your story, sharpen your voice, and develop a narrative that is honest, compelling, and tailored to each program. We will not move on until it is right.
Preparing for Your Interviews
An interview invitation means your application worked. Now the stakes are higher. I will prepare you for the kinds of questions you are likely to face, help you develop thoughtful and authentic responses, and conduct realistic roleplay sessions so that you arrive at your interview confident and ready.
