About us
Comprehensive College Advising was founded in 2013 by Kristen Bixby, Ed. M. Before starting CCA, Ms. Bixby worked as a school counselor and college counselor for over 10 years.
We believe that every student and family has the right to accurate, impartial and thorough information about the college admission process.
The college application and admission process can be confusing and cause stress and anxiety for families. We believe that breaking the process down into manageable steps and providing clear advice can make it easier.
Our unique developmental counseling background ensures that we are dedicated to the best interest of each individual student and family.
It doesn't have to be stressful or hard. Hiring a college counselor can help.
OUR VISION
EXPERIENCE
Kristen Bixby has been working in the field of college counseling for 21 years. As a Guidance Counselor and College Specialist for Newton Public Schools for 10 years, Ms. Bixby closely assisted over 1,000 students through the college application process.
She has helped student from many different backgrounds and has extensive background working with special populations: student-athletes, first-generation college applicants, and students with learning differences.
Ms. Bixby is also a member of many professional organizations, including New England Association of College Admission Counselors (NEACAC), and National Board of Certified Counselors. She is also committed to keeping up with current admission policies and visits college campuses regularly.
