Counselor's Corner
My name is Christy Miles and I am so excited to be the School Counselor at Bellamy Elementary. I graduated from Appalachian State University with a M.A in Guidance and Counseling in May of 2000. Most of my experience has been in the elementary school setting. I am a National Certified Counselor, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and a National Board Certified Teacher. I enjoy spending time with my husband, my stepdaughter, and my slobbery bulldog, Socs.

Confidentiality is an integral part of the counseling relationship. As required by law, full disclosure must be made if a student indicates they wish to do harm to themselves, someone is harming them and/or they wish to harm someone else. In other instances, confidentiality can be broken when given permission by the student.
