Hello everyone!
My name is Tajuddin Abdullah, but you can call me Mr. Taj. I’m excited to be your Mental Health Counselor at Pennsauken High School. I’m also a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with people of all ages to find balance, build coping skills, and navigate the challenges of everyday life.
Outside of work, I’m a die-hard Philly sports fan — Go Birds, Sixers, Phillies, and Flyers! When I’m not cheering on my teams, I’m spending time with my family or staying active with cornhole, basketball, and soccer.
Mental health is more than a buzzword — it’s a mindset. School can be stressful, and life can feel like a lot sometimes. You don’t have to deal with it alone. Whether you’re looking for support, guidance, or just helpful tips, I’m here for you and I’m excited to work together.
Let’s make this a great year!
Mr. Taj
