Driven by my desire to support my students, and my own intellectual curiosity, I follow college admissions closely which allows me to use my knowledge to make individualized recommendations for my students. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff111c750339566e9b8a927/721dc9a7-c099-4713-bc4b-f57c8a24cdf9/jessicafredericks2025_danielle13.jpeg About - In my spare time, I enjoy: Spending time with my Australian Labradoodle - George; hosting dinner parties; listening to podcasts or audiobooks; playing tennis; decorating my first townhome; learning French with Duolingo. https://dplcollegecounseling.com/services daily 0.75 2022-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff111c750339566e9b8a927/1615397801363-I22Z69PLAZHUNSMD74H6/DanielleLeachBranding-119.jpg Services - Services As an independent college counselor (also mentor, cheerleader, confidant, and occasional tough-love-giver), I support students and partner with their families to provide individualized support and expertise on the holistic review process used by selective institutions. I believe in empowering students to identify the best-fit college so that ultimately it’s not about where they “get in” but where they choose to go! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff111c750339566e9b8a927/1615400789123-ODDJ50HXN19362Z69B5W/DanielleLeachBranding-151+copy.jpg Services - Flexibility One of the things that distinguishes my approach from other independent counselors is my flexibility. I recognize that students are often being pulled in many different directions with conflicting priorities, and because I only work with a few students independently each year, I have the flexibility to meet them where they are through a less structured approach. Sometimes, we only need to meet for twenty minutes to review a 100-word supplement or add a leadership position to your resume, other times, we need two to three hours to polish an application. If your English teacher announces an unexpected quiz and you need to reschedule our meeting last minute to study, that’s OK. If you procrastinated a bit too much and you’re simply not prepared for our conversation, that’s OK, too. I’m practical and care not only about your college application experience and outcomes but seeing you as an individual through a holistic, comprehensive approach that recognizes, sometimes, I’m not your only priority. https://dplcollegecounseling.com/joyfulmoments daily 0.75 2026-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff111c750339566e9b8a927/1615410024167-7U7AWXSNMI5Z4JF9ER57/DanielleLeachBranding-115+copy.jpg Joyful Moments - I’m energized by my work with students and believe in celebrating all of the moments - both big and small! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff111c750339566e9b8a927/1615404213358-72LE78NTKSQJMXP30ULS/IMG_7486.JPG Joyful Moments - Special Guest on Connecting with Dr. Kim Swales I was honored to join Dr. Kim Swales on her podcast, Connecting, for episodes 15 and 16 to talk about starting the college application process!
