Counseling Services
The Stepping Stones Group is excited to announce that we have a bilingual clinician who is able to provide therapeutic support to students from Spanish-speaking families who are Medicaid-eligible throughout the Lancaster School District. She has years of therapeutic experience servicing children and adolescents and would be a great asset to students and families who primarily speak Spanish. Please notify Ms. Mandi Budd at mandi.budd@lcsd.k12.sc.us once you complete the referral below if you have Spanish-speaking students and/or families with Medicaid who could benefit from counseling. Ms. Budd will inform The Stepping Stones Group so the referrals may be processed by their clinician.
Miriam Penas
My name is Miriam Penas from Honduras, Central America. I am married. I obtained a master’s degree in social work in 2002 from Adelphi University in Garden City, New York. For more than 20 years, I have been working with children and their families who struggle with communication skills, parenting skills, educational problems, substance abuse, domestic violence, and mental health problems, among other things. I believe that dedication, discipline, and commitment lead me to a fruitful journey in helping others.
