The term Doktorvater is indeed used, although it may be perceived as old-fashioned by some. Whether the term Doktormutter is used as widely and in the same way would be a different question. However, the word Doktorvater is not what you are looking for, because it describes your thesis advisor after you have received your doctorate degree. As the others have already noted, the word Betreuer(in) in mostly used. Of course it lacks the thesis as in thesis advisor, so some context is needed.
One could argue whether the betreuen refers to the candidate or his or her work, I think the word is used in both ways. Yet another question is whether you should write to the professor in German at all or just stick to English. The best choice will depend on the field and the person, so it is hard to judge. Amongst other, the Duden, DWDS and many more.

However, what particularly confused me is that highlighted word 'after' which makes no sense whatsoever (or I fail to see it), but why should anyone advise you after you've finished. I mean, yes, after you've finished you start something new and someone will help you getting started and this one is most likely also called 'Betreuer', but has nothing to do with a 'Doktorvater' since it's not even related to your thesis.
Anyways, what you need instead is someone who advises you while you're writing your thesis. A 'Doktorvater'. – Jul 8 '15 at 9:53.
