Let's Work Together

Major truth bomb:

 

Not everyone who applies to a program gets accepted!

    I applied to a social work program and wasn’t accepted due to a lack of experience in the field. I became more motivated to gain the experience and get into a program the next time I applied. I set off to Montana to work at a therapeutic boarding school for troubled teens. I received valuable training in how to help future clients with emotion regulation, stress tolerance, and interpersonal skills.

    From my training and experience, the grad school panel realized that I had the skills to take on therapy clients and stay organized to excel in my classes. Also, with my training with the university career center, I successfully learned the ins and outs of resumes, cover letters, CVs, and interview prep to present yourself in a professional way.

    So, you’ve got questions for me…

    PAST MENTEES HAVE ASKED ME THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
    • Why would I work with a mentor when I can do the research on my own?
      • Sure, you can research on your own. But it’s a lot easier with someone that’s been through this already and it’s a lot less lonely. Don’t forget how important accountability is when you’ve got deadlines coming up.
    • Am I really going to feel supported by someone I don’t know? 
      • Absolutely! I’m a therapist, I know how to make people feel comfortable and I love humor.
    • Will I really be able to make my resume and application stand out to the panel?
      • Yep, I’ve got training from University level Career Services to highlight your strengths and help you shine. 

    Work with a mentor who’s been through it all!

    Schedule your grad school mentor strategy calls with me and together we can:

    Here are what people who have worked with me are saying:

    Rachel has been a huge help to me as I navigate everything from taking the GRE to applying for graduate schools! Her advice has steered me in the right direction and given me confidence to pursue my dream of becoming a Licensed Counselor. She’s extremely compassionate and knowledgeable making her someone I have been able to depend on during this stressful, often confusing journey! With her guidance, I applied to the University of North Georgia, and I just received an invitation for an interview! Thank you so much Rachel!

    Emily C., Graduate School Applicant

    Rachel helped me by giving advice on how to format a personal statement for a graduate school application and listed some things to mention in the letter. She also gave me great suggestions on how to meet with the program coordinator if I could not visit the campus before applying to the program. This may make the applicant more memorable.

She answered all my questions thoroughly and gave me great tips on how to transition. She definitely eased my anxieties about taking that next step towards my career and keeping balance in my life.
