About Us
Our Philosophy
At Brighter Days Advising, we believe that college counseling should be a collaborative and supportive process.
We strive to empower students to take ownership of their college search and application process while providing guidance and expertise.

Our Approach
Our approach is to get to know each student individually to understand their unique strengths, interests, and goals.
We provide personalized guidance throughout the entire college application process: improving fundamental skills, test advice, researching colleges, writing essays, submitting applications, finding scholarships, and negotiating aid packages.

What Our Clients Say
Developing Skills
Introspective Approach
With Anita, she got to the core of who I was. My strenghts and weaknesses. How I operate in the world. This was useful for college selection, essay writing, and major selection. She helps you have fun going deep into who you are. I learned so much about me!
