Hi, I’m Mark,
Founder of Mindful College Consulting.
With over 10 years of experience in education and college advising, I’ve helped students find their path with less stress and more self-awareness. I started this practice because I saw how overwhelming and even anxiety-inducing the college process had become. I believe it doesn’t have to be that way. As a member of the American School Counseling Association, New York State Counseling Association, and National Association of College Admissions Counselors, I have helped hundreds of scholars get accepted into college.
About Me
My approach combines expert admissions guidance with mindfulness strategies that help students stay grounded, focused, and true to themselves. I’ve worked with a wide range of students from high achievers to those scholars who may need more support. I believe that this process can be stressful, and although many others may make claims of success, we view the process as a holistic one and help scholars by teaching strategies to help reduce stress. Our holistic approach also includes parents, as they are an intricate part of this process.
​
I hold a master's degree from Long Island University in School Counseling and another in Educational Leadership from The College of St. Rose. I have also completed many mindfulness certifications, including Level One of the Yoga Mindfulness Teacher Preparation Program. But more than anything, I bring a deep respect for each student’s story, voice, and growth.
​
When I’m not reading essays or researching schools, you’ll find me walking my dog, working out, or being with my son. I’m excited to support you in this important chapter and help you move forward with clarity and confidence to achieve your educational goals.
