The Mom Strategist

The emotional moments — when your teenager won't talk to you, when you and your spouse disagree about how to handle something, when you just need someone to say "this is normal, here's what I've seen, you're doing fine."

The practical questions — how to handle a grade drop, what to do about social media, how to navigate friend group drama without making it worse.

The school and college strategy — which classes actually matter, how to position for the schools you're hoping for, what's really happening inside admissions, and what your school's counselor isn't telling you.

The college years and beyond — when your child leaves home and you're navigating the transition from a distance. What to do when they're not calling you back, how to support them without smothering them, when to worry and when to let go. And when it's time, helping you figure out what comes next for you.

The connections you don't have time to find — when you need a tutor who's actually right for your child, a therapist who specializes in teenagers, an executive function coach, a college essay specialist, or a learning specialist, your advisor already knows who the best people are. No more asking around in Facebook groups or hoping someone in the carpool line has a name. We've done the vetting. We make the introduction.

A personalized college roadmap delivered within your first thirty days. Not a generic checklist. A specific document built around your child, their school, their grade level, and their goals, telling you exactly what they should be doing throughout high school. It arrives in your inbox and answers the question every mom is quietly asking: are we on track?

Proactive SMS reminders for every key date and deadline in the high school and college admissions calendar. SAT/ACT registrations, summer program deadlines, campus visit seasons, times for students to ask for letters of recommendation, best times to start college essays, and admissions deadlines — your advisor tracks all of it and sends you a heads-up before each one, with a short video from Danny walking you through exactly what to do and why it matters. You don't have to remember anything. We remember it for you.

Live monthly sessions with Danny, built for your student. Two separate tracks — one for 8th through 10th graders, one for 11th graders — where Danny walks students directly through how to succeed in high school and the college application process, answers their questions, and keeps them on track. Sessions are recorded and available any time, so nothing is missed. You don't have to be the one pushing your teenager. Danny does it for you.

Danny's complete college application workshop, delivered in summer just in time for the fall application season. A full video series walking your student through every component of the college application, including the personal statement, the supplemental essays, the activities list, the Common App, and how to research schools in a way that makes every "Why This School" essay actually convincing. Danny has done this live with students for over twenty years. Now it's part of what you get when you join. Students who have gone through this workshop in the last few years alone have gone on to attend Stanford, Cornell, Penn, Brown, Dartmouth, Rice, Northwestern, UChicago, Duke, Columbia, NYU, Michigan, Berkeley, and dozens of other selective universities.

Enrollment is available from middle school through college graduation. We accept new families by referral only and limit availability to a small number of families per school, so that every advisor relationship stays genuinely personal.

Currently accepting a limited number of new families for the 2026–27 school year.
