Client Testimonials   

Parents of young-adult son 
When Ms. Spraetz began counseling our son he had dropped out of one junior college, had subsequently failed all his courses at a technical school, and had no clue about what he might do with his life.  As his parents, our patience was at an end, as we felt we could not communicate with him well enough to help him.   

Ms. Spraetz saw strengths in our son that we did not.  She helped him recognize the scope of his predicament, and gave him the responsibility for getting out of it.  She supported his wish to continue his education, despite our skepticism.  The options she recommended to him were practical, specific, and well-considered.  She helped us sift carefully through these, but he made the final decisions. 

A year has passed.  Last summer's wilderness experience recommended by Ms. Spraetz enabled our son to discover his passion for the outdoors.  Our son became a serious student and made excellent grades last semester utilizing an intensive tutoring program Ms. Spraetz had recommended.  He independently evaluated and applied to several four-year colleges, and will be transferring to the one he most wanted to attend.  Ms. Spraetz, continuing to show genuinely personal interest in him, has kept up with his progress and communicates with him periodically. 

Because she seems to have forged somewhat of a miracle in our son's life, we heartily endorse the career counseling services of Ms. Spraetz. 

Student comment
During our meetings, Ms. Spraetz introduced me to a university I had never heard of before, but it ended up being perfect for me!  Not only was it the right fit for my personality, but it was also the right fit for me academically.  Ms. Spraetz did a great job of finding good schools that were also in my range, and the search was fun and exciting.  Class of 2006 student from Dunwoody High School.

Parent of a high school female
Leigh Anne kept the college search process focused and productive.  She used an organized timetable and probed my daughter to evaluate and explore what she wanted from her college.  Leigh Anne was knowledgeable about the colleges and the student-life atmosphere. She knew what the colleges were looking for and what my daughter would need to do to accomplish admittance to the college of her choice. As a result, my daughter was accepted to every college to which she applied.

Parents of a senior from Michigan at Georgia Boarding School
We were actually talking about Ms. Spraetz with friends up here. They have an eighth grade daughter with LD. The mother is actually the liaison for learning disability programs in one of our school districts but was amazed at the breadth of programs that Ms. Spraetz was able to find for our son. We think that even from a distance, she did a better job than anyone we know of up here.
