College Choice and Success Counseling in Bellingham
Sean Hawes helps students prepare for, apply to, and graduate from college.
Counseling for College Success
I started PTCA in 2010 to inspire and encourage students to identify and pursue their dreams. Through listening, discussing and planning, I help students and their parents gather information and consider options to foster confident and informed college choices.
I offer comprehensive and hourly services to help students prepare for, apply to, and graduate from college. Counseling services can begin as early as eighth grade and continue throughout college. I meet students where they are in order to overcome obstacles and achieve success.

What Parents Say
We want you to know that hiring you as an advocate for our daughters is among the smartest decisions we’ve made along the often challenging road of parenting. Thank you for preparing her for admission by encouraging a rigorous high school curriculum and fostering interest in various other educational and volunteer opportunities during her high school years—this surely helped to get them into their first-choice schools.
