What Our Clients Say
— a happy family in Terre Haute, IN
“Deborah has helped direct 7 of my children into career fields they are most suitable for. We are amazed at how accurate the assessments are for each child. In addition to fields of study, we learned of colleges that support the educational needs for each child and what part of that career is most appealing to our child’s temperament. I am so grateful for her care and guidance as we have we prepared our young adults to launch into the post-high-school world!”

“As someone who changed her major a few times in her first two years of college, I can attest to the value and savings of Debbie's services. Had something like this been around when I was in college, I would have been more focused by knowing clearly my strengths, interests, and career aspirations. I would have saved a lot of money by avoiding unnecessary classes. I have 4 children and all of them will definitely be working with Debbie.”

We are so thankful to have used Debbie's services back when our boys were in high school. Debbie was not only helpful in helping our boys with a career path but also was very helpful in school choice. We had such a good experience that we pass along her name to anyone needing help with transitioning their career whether it is a high school student or adult. Debbie is helpful in guiding one to either college, vocational college, military or direct employment. We like the fact that she does not push you always into college but helps with the options that are best suited for the individual. She is not just a test giver but we believe she is gifted by God in the interpretation and application of the test. We hope you consider using Successful Transitions as you will find it to be a very fun, helpful experience that takes little time on your part.

a little about me
My name is Debbie Bouse. I started Successful Transitions because I knew how beneficial an education, whether at a traditional university or on-site in a vocational setting, could be. For many people, the act of discerning the right path to walk down is not only stressful, but also unnecessarily difficult due to a lack of proper tools and coaching. Since 2004, I have made it my goal to give people the tools and guidance they need to successfully negotiate educational and career transitions in a way that is financially reasonable and time effective.
