As junior year of high school comes to a close and the excitement for senior year sets in, so too does the daunting task of college applications. For Jewish students and families in the Boulder community and across the country, Yellow Brick Road College Counseling, founded and led by Holli Berman and Holly Hansburg, two lifelong educators, offers a beacon of guidance and support.
At Yellow Brick Road, Holly and Holli know it has taken brains to arrive at this moment. It will take courage to journey onto the next road. And through weekly online meetings together, they put their whole heart into everything they do to help your student discover their “home away from home,” the college where your child will continue to learn, grow, and thrive.

Holli and Holly are excited to partner with you on this college application process. Their goal is to offer compassionate support every step of the way. They help students stay organized, meet deadlines with confidence, and craft applications that tell a unique story. Each student’s application will reflect their strengths, values, and dreams, allowing their words, insights, and true selves to shine. Together with your student, Holly and Holli help find their “d’var Torah for college”– a voice, a story, a teaching, a truth, and guide them to express it with beautifully-crafted, strong, and clear writing.
Choosing a college is about finding a place where one’s mind, heart, and soul can continue to flourish. Yellow Brick Road College Counseling is here to walk with your family, step by step, on this meaningful journey.
