Brett Wilson is a licensed school counselor, educator, and student advocate based in Minnesota. Raised with rural Wisconsin roots, Brett brings a grounded, relational, and hard-working approach to his work with young people, shaped by an early understanding of consistency, community, and the belief that small changes can create meaningful ripple effects over time.

Brett began his career in education as a high school social studies teacher in Clarksdale, Mississippi, where he taught World History, Government, and Economics while building a strong foundation in culturally responsive teaching and student-centered support. He later returned to Minnesota and expanded his impact through nonprofit college-access work with College Possible, supporting systems, programming, and pathways that helped students pursue postsecondary opportunities.

Today, Brett serves as a school counselor where he delivers an ASCA-aligned comprehensive counseling program focused on academic, social-emotional, and career development. His work includes individual counseling, Tier 1–3 systems of support, attendance interventions, crisis response, student advocacy, and data-informed program improvement. Across each role, Brett has remained committed to helping students feel seen, build confidence, and move toward futures they can clearly envision.

Brett holds a Master of Science in Education in School Counseling from the University of Wisconsin–River Falls, a Master of Science in Educational Studies from Johns Hopkins University, and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. His professional interests include solution-focused counseling, educational equity, student belonging, postsecondary readiness, and comprehensive school counseling program development.
