You can talk to your school counselor about academic concerns, friendships, stress, emotions, family changes, conflict, future planning, or anything else affecting your experience at school. You do not need to have a “big problem” to see your counselor.

Use the Request to See the Counselor on this site or ask your teacher to fill it out for you. Your counselor will connect with you as soon as possible.

Students are welcome to stop by! Keep in mind that your counselor may be meeting with another student, teaching a lesson, or attending a meeting, so you may be asked to return at another time. All staff have an easy way to let the counseling office know you want to talk, and we will pull you as soon as our schedule allows.

School counselors respect students’ privacy while also recognizing parents’/guardians’ important role in supporting their child. Parents/guardians will be notified when we meet individually with their child. While we strive to provide students with a safe and trusting space to talk, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. Information will be shared with parents/guardians, school personnel, or other appropriate individuals when required by law or school policy, when additional support or intervention is needed, or when there is a concern for the safety or well-being of the student or someone else.

School counselors respect your privacy, but confidentiality has limits. If there is concern that you or someone else may be in danger, or if disclosure is otherwise required by law or school policy, the counselor may need to involve others who can help keep everyone safe.

Absolutely. Parents and caregivers are important partners in supporting students. Please email, call, or schedule an appointment so your counselor can make sure there is dedicated time available to speak with you.

School counselors provide short-term, school-based counseling and support. They do not replace outside therapists or other mental health providers. When a student needs ongoing or specialized services, the counselor can help families identify appropriate resources.

Tell a trusted adult. You can speak with the school counselor, use the school school counseling concern form, or talk with another trusted staff member. You do not have to figure out whether the situation is “serious enough” before asking an adult for help.

During the school day, tell a trusted adult or go to the counseling office or main office. The website and online forms are not monitored 24/7 and should not be used for emergencies. In an emergency, tell your parent right away or call 911 or seek immediate assistance.

Yes. If something at home or in your life outside of school is affecting how you feel, learn, behave, or function at school, your counselor can listen, help you identify supports, and connect you or your family with additional resources when appropriate.

Yes. School counselors can help students with things such as goal setting, organization, study habits, motivation, attendance, problem-solving, and identifying barriers that may be affecting school success.

Sometimes we can! School counselors can help connect families with available school and community resources. Available services vary by community, so contact your counselor to discuss your family’s specific needs.

Of course! Counseling isn't only for problems or emergencies. Students may want to talk about a goal, celebrate something going well, ask a question, think through a decision, or simply check in.
