Individual School Counseling
Individual School Counseling
Individual School Counseling is brief, solution focused support for Whitfield students. Typically students are met with in times of heightened stress, critical life changes, or other scenarios that may impede on a student's academic success. School Counselors do not provide consistent therapy but do have the resources to connect you and your student to licensed therapists for increased support.
