GUSD School Counseling
School Counseling VS Outside Therapy
School Counselors meet with students on an individual basis or group basis to deal with crisis management, skill-building, and problem-solving to support students' success at school
An outside therapist will provide more intensive, individualized, and ongoing therapy.
School Counseling conversations are confidential between the counselor and student unless there is a safety concern to break that confidentiality.
