How & Why?

How do I see the counselor?

Self-referral

Teacher referral

Parent referral

Administrative referral

Request of the counselor

Referral by a friend

Typically I will try to set up a time to see the student that will least affect classroom academic time. However, this is not always a possibility. Students are responsible for making up whatever classroom assignments they miss while talking with the counselor, but they are not penalized for not being in class.

Why do I see the counselor?

Students may see Mrs. Berdan for variety of reasons including (but not limited to):

Difficulty with friends

Family changes

Academic struggles

Emotional struggles

Conflict Resolution

Sadness

Behavior control

Career research questions
