I Got In!

March 8, 2019

Dear Dr. Rockholz – I’m now an official Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket! A big note of thanks for keeping me on track with the college application process.

College My Way

August 21, 2013

Getting into college was easier than I thought – staying in was the challenging part! Back in high school I had an IEP and received support from my resource teacher, with some private math tutoring at home.

My Sober College Experience

August 21, 2013

When I left my short-term primary treatment program (the second time), my goal — besides staying sober — was to continue my college education, something I have begun several times over with varying degrees of success.

“We are thrilled with the final acceptances – and this would have never happened without you going all-out for my daughter. You were the difference between success and failure. We owe you a big debt of gratitude!”

Mother of Smith College graduate

“I have to admit that I was completely overwhelmed by the school application process. Dr. Rockholz helped us sort it through so that we knew exactly what needed to be done – in a timely manner! Our son is now playing hockey at his first choice prep school.”

Parent, West Hartford, CT

“We’ve been through a steady stream of therapists and counselors, and were beginning to lose hope for our daughter. Daria Rockholz’ advice and guidance led us to a therapeutic program that our daughter finally agreed to try. She is getting back on track and we are most grateful for Dr. Rockholz’ patience, understanding, and guidance.”

Parents, Hastings-on-Hudson, NY

“I wish we knew about the Rockholz team years ago, as it would have saved us a lot of frustration, time, and money, not to mention personal pain. When our 19 year old son refused to participate in a traditional recovery programs, we were desperate for help. Luckily we were directed to work with Daria and Peter Rockholz, whose joint effort helped our son find a recovery support program on a college campus. He now lives in a sober dorm, attends AA meetings on campus, receives academic support, and is moving forward with his life.”

Parents of student attending University of Vermont

“Thank you, Dr. Rockholz, for helping me with the college application process, and mostly for encouraging me to start early. You laid out a summer plan and timeline: essay work, test prep, and college tours. It felt great to enter my senior year having completed most of the college work, and my ED application was a winner!”

Student, Skidmore College

“I wanted college to be more than a good fit. I wanted to find a place where I could meet people who are different and who would introduce me to new worlds. Thank you, Dr. Rockholz, for helping me fulfill my quest. I love attending college in Canada, and I am exploring new opportunities every day!”
