Valley View Counseling Office

 

Welcome to the Valley View Counseling Office Website!


Hello and welcome to the Valley View Elementary School Counselor's Corner! I can't think of anything better than being an elementary school counselor.  I enjoy working with students, parents, and staff to provide counseling support through classroom lessons, individual counseling, group work, and parent education.  It is my goal to develop and maintain relationships with all the children enrolled at our school.

  I teach lessons in all of the classrooms twice a month, following the Boise School District counseling curriculum, which addresses both Idaho state Health Education Standards and ASCA Mindsets and Behaviors.  If you have any questions about the counseling curriculum, feel free to contact me.

Additionally, I am available to help students with problem solving and skill building, both individually and in small groups. If your child has a particular need, please reach out to me, but please keep in mind that I am unable to do therapy in a school setting. However, I am happy to provide you with a list of community resources as needed.

I have collected a number of resources that I feel will be helpful to students and families. If there are any questions or concerns, please reach out to me.

Please note that if you would like me to check in with your child, there is a Counselor Request form at the bottom of this page as well as a student version of a request to see counselor on 'For Students' tab.
