Journey Forward
College & Career Counseling

Any time! We accept students anytime from Freshman to Senior year. There's no wrong time to start. Ideally, the more time we have with your high schooler, the better. When we start in Freshman year (or even sooner!) we can help your child make decisions on their class schedule, navigate standardized testing choices, and help them discover their passion project.

No! We work with Seniors and even students who are already in college.

We have plenty of experience working with students with all kinds of special interests, talents, skills, and special considerations. We've had students go on to become professional athletes, artists, musicians, and more, and attend the best programs for their special talents.

The Highlands Ability Battery Assessment is one of the key factors that sets us apart from other counselors. This computerized aptitude test goes far beyond ordinary testing that your student may do in school or for fun. Interests change over time - but your natural abilities never do, and the results of this test will help you throughout your life.

We also are a woman-owned, family business. Our commitment to our own family extends to our clients in how dedicated we are to personalized service.

High school advisors and counselors serve a very important role for students, but are often tasked with a huge caseload with hundreds of students. JF counselors can offer the individualized guidance that many students need with no limit on texts, phone calls, or communications.

Yes! We have helped our students secure hundreds of thousands of dollars of scholarships and school financial aid packages over the years. We will guide you in filling out the FAFSA, if applicable, and help you with as many scholarships as you may need.

Because we work nationally, and even internationally, most of our visits are virtual. Depending on your location, we may have the option for in-person visits as well. We work with video appointments, phone calls, texts, and emails with unlimited meetings.
