Services
Individual and Group CounselingThe school counselor provides individual and group counseling to help the student better succeed in school. Themes discussed can include, but are not limited to, anxiety, social skills, divorce, death, bullying, gossiping, and friendship or academic concerns. Students are seen at the both request of teachers and/or parents, and based on self-referrals. Counseling services in the school setting are generally brief and goal-oriented.

Classroom LessonsThe school counselor provides lessons to classrooms of grade level specific topics throughout the school year. Classroom lessons are a planned, developmental program of guidance activities designed to foster students' academic, career and personal/social development. Typically, these lessons involve storytelling, hands-on activities and group discussions.

Collaboration and ConsultationThe school counselor regularly collaborates parents, teachers, administration, other support staff, and outside agencies to develop prevention and intervention strategies for student success. Counselors also facilitate the communication and collaboration of school staff, community professionals, agencies, and families to advocate for students.
