College Readiness Coaching is led by our ADHD & Executive Function Coach, Kim Garcia. Kim is a former educator, certified transition specialist and experienced coach who is ready to help your student prepare for the transition to college.

Preparing for college is about more than just grades and test scores, it’s about building the confidence, independence, and life skills needed to thrive. At Plum Tree Psychology, our College Readiness Coaching supports recent high school grads and college students as they navigate the transition to young adulthood. We help students develop executive functioning skills, manage stress, improve time management, and explore personal values and goals. Whether your teen is anxious about leaving home, unsure about their future path, or needs support staying organized and motivated, our coach provides personalized, practical guidance to ease the journey. With a focus on emotional well-being and self-advocacy, we aim to equip students with the tools they need to succeed—both in college and beyond.

College Readiness Coaching is designed to help first-year students and experienced college students who could benefit from additional support.

College Readiness Coaching can help your student:

• Gain strategies and tools for the changing academic environment

• Construct or refine systems for independent living

• Strengthen self advocacy skills

• Build academic confidence

• Establish healthy habits
