School Counseling with Ms. Benson
Hello and Welcome!
Welcome to my website, School Counseling with Ms. Benson. My goal for this website is to have a way to share a variety of resources with families. I hope that it can be of use! At the top of this main page, there are links to each page of the website. Below, you can find my virtual "office", program brochure, and contact information. Curious as to my program mission, vision, and beliefs? Check out the Mission, Vision, and Beliefs page of this website for some light reading.

If you are in need of psychological help you should seek the consultation of a licensed mental health professional. While I am a licensed school counselor, I am not a licensed professional counselor (LPC).

I always tell kids that we’re a team. Battle Creek staff work with families to help kids be the best version of themselves. A big part of being a team is communication. Battle Creek communicates with families through ParentSquare, emails, and our website. Your child’s teacher will let you know how to communicate with them, whether that be through ParentSquare, Class Dojo, or email. If there is anything you need help with, please reach out to us and we will help how we can!
