Letting Go: Navigating the Transition to College An Informative & Engaging Seminar for Parents

This signature 90-to-120-minute presentation is specifically crafted to help families navigate the multi-faceted developmental milestone of launching a university student. Drawing from 16 years of clinical campus experience, I provide parents with practical, financial, and emotional toolkits to support their young adult's budding independence while staying meaningfully connected. Amusing (and highly reassuring) college transition stories are included throughout.

Available globally via secure video platform or in-person for high schools, parent groups, and community organizations.

Featured Interview: How to Stay Grounded as a Parent

Published in Avocado Green Magazine • April 2026

“What matters most is that you keep showing up. You keep trying. The words ‘I’m sorry’—accompanied by hugs—go a long way, for both you and your kids. Children learn far more from how you live, how you talk to others, how you give yourself grace, and how you repair than from finding the exact right thing to say in a tense moment.”

— Dr. Feliza Guidero, Clinical Psychologist
