GOAL

My goal is to meet the diverse social, emotional, and academic needs of all students. Our program focuses on helping students achieve academic and personal success through a variety of preventive and developmentally-appropriate activities.

COUNSELING SERVICES

In order to meet different needs, our counseling program offers many services for you and your child.

Services include:

• Whole classroom lessons: Address broad developmental topics (Ex: Self-esteem, social skills, problem-solving skills, understanding and managing emotions, etc.).

• Small groups: Available for students who share similar concerns and may benefit from the group experience (Ex: Children of divorce/separation, grief/loss, executive functioning, self-regulation, friendship skills, etc.).

• Individual counseling: Available for students who have specific needs. It is brief and solution-focused. Typically, students who need more support than a few individual sessions will be referred to our FRS Therapist ( Luis Luna) and/or an outside agency.

• Consultation: Please let me know if you would like to speak with me (email, phone, or in-person) and brainstorm different strategies to support your child at home and/or school.
