As founder of Emile (eh-m ee l) Educational Consulting, Elaine Morales-Thomason works intimately with adolescents and young adults with diverse interests, abilities, and emotional backgrounds.  Elaine guides clients and their families in:

 

• College admission counseling,

• Educational and transitional planning and consultation, and

• Traditional and therapeutic educational placements.

 

Elaine received both her Bachelors Degree in Psychology and her Masters Degree, as a Donovan Scholar, in Education from Boston College.   She enjoys working with her clients, lecturing, writing articles, and collaborating closely with colleagues to help meet clients’ needs.  She has advised myriad professionals in public and private schools, colleges, and clinical programs.  She developed an effective tool that assesses college readiness along a continuum of constructs and indicators.  This allows her to proactively design action plans aimed at preparing clients for collegiate success. 

 

Elaine also freelance consults to organizations desiring to enhance their educational planning, as she did for a clinical organization in Miami, FL.  At the collegiate level, Elaine has consulted to staff, developing transitional and re-entry plans, from diverse universities ranging from the Ivy Leagues, such as Dartmouth and Yale, to specialized colleges, such as Curry and Lynn.

 

For over 20 years, Elaine has brought her warmth, sense of humor, compassion, and knowledge to her educational consultancy practice.  This combination, along with her background in psychology and education, facilitates her ability to yield positive, fulfilling outcomes for her clients and families.
