    Independent Advisors

    The sheer number of available college, summer programs, or gap year options often overwhelms teens and their parents. TeenLife lists hundreds of admissions counselors, student advisors, and gap year advisors who are available in person or online to assist students in finding the right college or program. Independent gap year counselors are great at providing an outside perspective that objectively encapsulates the ideal experience that a teen and his or her parents are looking for. A high school admissions counselor can help teens and their parents find the experiences that are most likely to lead to acceptance by the university or college the teen wants to go to. Alternately, parents who have a child with special needs or a teen with substance abuse or behavioral issues can search our database of youth counseling and psychological services. TeenLife lists dozens of these independent advisors, who help guide your family to an appropriate school or program.
