About Us

What are school counselors and what do they do?

  • • school-related concerns and problem-solving
    • peer difficulties
    • new or challenging situations
    • coping strategies

School counselors are not psychologists. They do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions, provide therapy or long-term counseling in schools.  However, they are trained to recognize and respond to urgent student mental health needs and can assist students and families seeking connection to mental health resources and services in the community.
