Welcome Dragons!

My name is Chelsea Campbell, and I will serve students and families as the 7th-grade counselor.

I am a Georgia native. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Middle Grades Education from the University of Georgia. I have a Master's degree in School Counseling from Georgia State University and an Educational Specialist degree in Professional Counseling from the University of West Georgia.

I started my career as an 8th-grade Social Studies teacher before becoming a school counselor. This is my 8th year as a school counselor. My passion is connecting with students and helping them discover their unique capabilities and strengths. I believe in all students and strive for them to believe in themselves.

How Can The School Counselor Help?

Classroom Lessons

Each student will participate in classroom guidance lessons as part of the regular school curriculum. These lessons are a proactive approach to provide students with skills that will help them be successful throughout their school years and even into adulthood.

Small Groups

Small groups consist of 4-10 students who meet weekly during the school day to address a common interest and learn positive coping skills while also building connections with peers. Each group will typically meet 6-8 times for about 30 minutes each time. Groups are created based on data and students' needs. Confidentiality is taught and expected of students. The school counselor makes it clear to students that anything shared during a group session does not leave the group.

Individual Counseling

Students can benefit from talking with their school counselor about any area of concern that affects their school performance and/or behavior. These concerns can be academic, personal, or social-emotional. Students may refer themselves for individual counseling, be referred by a teacher, or even a parent can request a student be referred for individual counseling. Individual counseling is solution-focused and not long-term. Should students need more support referrals for outside community counseling agencies may be suggested.

Confidentiality is maintained with all sessions!
