Hello, I am Melissa Shaheen, and I am the School Counselor for Columbia Elementary School
About Me: I have been a School Counselor since 2016, having worked for various schools within our County, providing in-school services and virtual services. I enjoy helping students with social, emotional, and academic learning, including social skills, anxiety reduction, and conflict resolution. I also assist families with outside resources and extra support. I enjoy talking to all my students and getting to know each one. My office is a safe place for you to come talk with me. Outside of work, I enjoy the outdoors and spending time with my family and pets. My favorite teams are the SF Giants and SJ Sharks. I love bright colors and everything Disney!
