Melissa Balgobin

Executive functioning CBT: Strategic Productivity and Life Coach

Melissa Balgobin is from the Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago, where she completed high school before moving to the U.S. for college. This international perspective has shaped her approach to education and personal development. She has always been driven by a passion for helping others, and with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in clinical psychology from Barry University, she has dedicated her career to positively impacting the lives of individuals struggling with autism, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. Since 2007, Melissa has worked as a social support therapist, beginning as an intern and steadily advancing in her career. Her work in this field has been both rewarding and eye-opening, deepening her understanding of the challenges faced by those with mental health conditions.

In 2013, Melissa expanded her focus by becoming an educator in the secondary public school system. During this time, she recognized a significant gap in the preparedness of students transitioning from high school to college. Many students lacked essential skills in planning, organizing, and time management—skills crucial for success in higher education and beyond. This realization sparked a new passion for Melissa: helping students bridge the gap between academic readiness and personal development.

The COVID-19 pandemic marked a turning point in her career. Wanting to make an even greater impact, Melissa decided to pivot and become a life coach. She realized that by helping students develop time management, organizational skills, and self-help strategies, she could empower them to achieve their goals more effectively. Melissa is particularly passionate about equipping students with tools to navigate academic pressures while building confidence in their abilities. Her approach to life coaching emphasizes equipping students with essential strategies for planning and time management—skills often overlooked but critical for long-term success. Through her coaching, she teaches students how to break down large tasks into manageable steps, prioritize responsibilities, and create structured plans aligned with their academic and personal goals. Her methods help students stay organized and reduce the overwhelming feeling that can come from juggling multiple deadlines and obligations.

A key strategy Melissa focuses on is goal setting, encouraging students to set clear, achievable objectives with realistic timelines. She believes students need to understand the difference between short-term and long-term goals, using each as a stepping-stone toward greater achievements. Melissa also stresses the importance of flexibility in planning, helping students adjust their schedules when unexpected challenges arise without feeling defeated or falling behind.

In time management, Melissa teaches practical techniques like time blocking, where specific chunks of time are allocated for different tasks, ensuring all areas of responsibility are addressed. She emphasizes the importance of balancing work and rest, teaching students to schedule breaks and practice self-care to avoid burnout. Through regular check-ins and reflective exercises, Melissa encourages students to evaluate their progress and continuously improve their approach to time.

Melissa’s coaching extends beyond managing academics. She incorporates self-help strategies like mindfulness, stress management, and self-discipline to help students stay motivated and focused. Her goal is to empower students to take control of their time, gain confidence in their ability to plan, and develop habits that will benefit them throughout their educational journeys and into their careers. Ultimately, Melissa’s approach centers on helping students build a foundation of skills that promotes both academic achievement and personal growth, giving them the tools needed to succeed not just in school, but in life.

Student Testimonials

Hear directly from previous student experiences

D.G Boston College 2022
"As I look back at my college application process, I can fully say that throughout all the stress and deadlines I had to overcome, Dr. Pauline Markowicz was a great supporter, mentor and by far the best college counselor in Miami, creating a comfortable space in which she put her greatest efforts to help me get to my dream school."
P.M Northeastern 2022
"Living in Mr. Markowicz's College counseling office in Miami showed me that yes stats and rankings are important but, its only as important as you make it. Without her help throughout the year I wouldn't have applied to schools that looked unrealistic to me. Without her push I would not be attending the school I will be calling home for the next 4 years!"
S.H Barnard 2021
“ I genuinely want to say thank you for the past two years, you are the hardest working person I have ever met and all of us are blessed to have you as our counselor, you made college Applications easy and fun! And always have great stories!”
F.B UF 2019
“Ms. Markowicz works with you on a 1-1 basis, she made the whole stressful process of applying to college so much easier! I am undocumented and proud to say that I am going to college completely for free! If it was not for Ms M I would have probably not gone to college at all.”
K.F Pomona 2022 Posse
"Dr. Markowicz was always able to accommodate my academic demands and future interests from the moment I first approached her. She guided me to become a Posse Miami Scholar and receive a full scholarship to Pomona College. I would not be able to do any of this without her efforts and commitment to find the great in everyone."
M.F Harvard 2021
"As a first generation low income student I was extremely unfamiliar with the process and had little confidence in my ability to be accepted into elite institutions. However, with every encounter Ms. Markowicz went above and beyond in assuring that my application highlighted my strengths and resonated with the admissions office. She continuously provided me with the resources to be able to afford my higher education, and most importantly believed in me every step of the way."
S.W 2020 Columbia
“Ms Markowicz has helped me every step on my way to college, she has supported me and guided me as no one else could have. She believed in me and she encouraged me to get to the goals we had set together, and I did, thanks to her. She welcomed me with open arms in a time where I didn’t know anyone at school and was very alone. She provides students with a positive atmosphere to be in and helps her students with everything they need. I am grateful to Ms Markowicz and firmly believe she already has everything it takes to be the best college counselor one could ask for.”
L.G MIT 2022 Questbridge
"I am extremely thankful for all the guidance and advice received from Dr. Markowicz throughout my college application journey. Not only did she go above and beyond in giving me the help I needed to truly shine in my applications, but she believed in me every step of the way. She's the best college counselor you could get! "
L.R Cornell 2021
“After spending a year with Dr. Markowicz, I cannot tell you how much she cares for her students. She sees the best in everyone and helps anyone who needs her. Beyond being the best college advisor, she will also be there for all of her kids when they need her. You cannot wish for someone better”.
E.A Springfield 2021
"In my journey through school and life, Pauline showed me the importance of not being alone. She took me in when I was lost, and alone and pulled me out. Helped me go from a 1.8 GPA in 10th grade to a 3.2 and a full scholarship to college. Pauline Showed me dreams do come true with hardworking and the right people in your corner. Thank you <3 "
A.L Princeton 2020
"To think I was not going to apply to Princeton at all is crazy to me today. My goal was always University of Florida until the day Ms. Markowicz asked me what about Princeton? I looked at her and laughed saying Princeton? I'd never get in there!... Ms. Markowicz showed me how to beat all odds and work hard towards my goal. I will forever me thankful!"
