FREE Introduction & Assessment

Not sure what kind of support you need? Start here.

The Initial Introduction & Assessment is a complimentary conversation to learn more about you, what you're facing, and what you hope to accomplish.

We'll talk about where you are now, what's prompting you to seek coaching, and what questions or decisions are on your mind. For those seeking admission to a professional school program, we’ll assess your starting place and begin to map a plan toward your successful application. We'll also explore whether Horizon ITP is the right fit for you and which type of coaching session or ongoing support would be most useful.

This is not a sales pitch or a commitment to ongoing coaching. It's an opportunity to talk with an experienced coach, get some initial perspective, and determine what makes sense as a next step.

What you'll leave with: A clearer understanding of your situation, an initial assessment of your needs, and a recommendation for next steps.

Clarity & Direction

When you need to figure out what you really want.

Sometimes the hardest part isn't achieving a goal—it's knowing whether it's the right goal in the first place.

A Clarity & Direction Session gives you dedicated time to step back, examine what's happening, and make sense of your options. Together, we'll explore your interests, strengths, experiences, priorities, and concerns to identify possibilities that may not be obvious from where you currently stand.

This session can be especially helpful if you're:

  • Choosing or reconsidering a college, major, or career direction

  • Unsure whether medicine is the right path

  • Trying to understand what careers might fit your interests and strengths

  • Feeling stuck or overwhelmed by too many possibilities

  • Considering a career change but don't know what you want instead

  • Wondering whether the path you've been following still fits

  • Looking for a thoughtful, experienced perspective before making a major decision

The goal isn't to force an answer. It's to help you understand yourself and your options well enough to make a more intentional decision.

What you'll leave with: Greater clarity about your priorities and possibilities, along with concrete ideas for what to explore next.

Strategic Planning

When you know where you want to go—or have a strong sense of the direction—and need a plan to get there.

Once you have a goal, the next question is: How do I make it happen?

A Strategic Planning Session translates your goals into a realistic, personalized path forward. We'll look at where you are today, what you need to accomplish, what resources and experiences will help you get there, and what decisions need to be made along the way.

Depending on your situation, this might include:

  • Developing a college-to-medical-school plan

  • Identifying experiences that will strengthen your preparation for medical school

  • Creating an academic or extracurricular strategy

  • Building a plan for gaining relevant experience

  • Developing a post-graduation career strategy

  • Identifying skills or experiences needed for a career pivot

  • Mapping out a transition while balancing financial and personal responsibilities

  • Determining immediate priorities and longer-term milestones

Your plan will be based on your circumstances—not a generic checklist.

What you'll leave with: A practical roadmap that identifies priorities, decisions, and next steps for moving toward your goal..

Focused Coaching

When you have a specific challenge, decision, or question you need to work through.

You don't always need a long-term plan. Sometimes you need an experienced person to help you think through one important issue.

A Focused Coaching Session is a targeted conversation built around whatever is most pressing for you right now. Bring the question, challenge, or decision that's keeping you stuck, and we'll work through it together.

Examples might include:

  • "Should I take a gap year before medical school?"

  • "I'm struggling in my prerequisite courses. What should I do?"

  • "How do I find meaningful clinical or research experience?"

  • "I chose the wrong major. What are my options?"

  • "I have two career opportunities and don't know which to choose."

  • "How do I explain my career change to an employer?"

  • "I know I want to leave my current field, but I'm not sure how to make the transition."

  • "I have an interview coming up and want to think through my strategy."

  • "I need to make a decision and want an experienced perspective."

We won't try to solve everything at once. We'll focus on the issue that matters most right now, identify what you need to consider, and determine a productive next step.

What you'll leave with: A clearer perspective on the issue you're facing and a concrete next step—or next steps—you can act on.
