• How Can I Support Your Kiddos?

Individual Counseling: This can occur in two different formats.

1. "Pep Talks'/Student Request Slips- These occur as needed to address a temporary need of your student (a grandparent passes away, a friend is being mean, etc.). My goal is to create a safe place to work through problems.

2. One-on-one counseling-Sometimes a student requires one-on-one counseling services in order to work through various difficulties. Topics include anger, stress management, anxiety, academic struggles, in-class behavior, low self-esteem, etc.

Group Counseling: Small groups are established as needed for various concerns such as death, divorce, anger, self-esteem, peer relations, etc.

Classroom Counseling Lessons: Classroom Counseling Lessons occur one to two times per month. Lesson topics include but are not limited to the following: being a good friend, making appropriate choices, study skills, and living a safe and healthy lifestyle.

Immediate Student Support: Sometimes our students have rough days and sometimes a break in a different environment can turn a day around. This occurs as needed.
