"OurCollegeCounselor was an absolute lifesaver. Lou not only helped me turn my jumbled thoughts into something cohesive, but he also pushed me to dig deeper, refine my voice, and—most importantly—find the *why* in everything I wrote."
AJ - Tustin, CA
"Working with Lou was nothing short of life changing. His dedication to helping me with the unforgiving college admissions process was unmatched. I don’t know how I would have completed this process without him. Whether it was being on Zoom for hours editing so many essays or just checking in on my life, Lou was always there. I recommend Lou for anyone." - Teagan, Palos Verdes, CA

"Looking back on the stress that was college applications, Lou was the equivalent to my lighthouse in the storm. While my peers were drowning in frustration, I felt supported, encouraged, and—perhaps most importantly—proud. Proud of the growth I experienced as a writer, and proud of the work I submitted— knowing I put my best foot forward into the next stage of my life." - Pippa, Los Angeles CA
