Counseling support
HELLO!
My name is Tammi Samuelson, and I have been a Licensed School Counselor for over 20 years. I have a B.A. from Bethel University in Psychology and Speech Communications and an M.A. from the U of M in Educational Psychology. I live in Comfrey with my husband Pete and have two adult children. I am happy to be providing counseling support to Comfrey students 1/2 day each week. Please contact me through the school office if your child needs extra support.
