Welcome to the Willard Elementary Counseling Corner!

Meet your Counselor:

Hello!  My name is Rachael Barker. I am the school counselor at Willard Elementary.  Willard students are amazing, and I am excited to watch them learn and grow this year. 

I work with students through classroom presentations each week. I also provide small groups, and short term one on one counseling. Parents will be notified if their student is referred for a small group or short term one on one counseling. I work closely with teachers and they also help reinforce the lessons taught in their classrooms.  I do not provide therapy but can help with local agencies and resources if that is something that is needed. 

Check out the school newsletter each month for the latest information on the lessons being presented in your student(s) classroom and some ideas you can do to help support the skills being taught. 

Please call or email me if you have questions or concerns related to your student(s).
