Trudi McClure, MC
Welcome!
I am honored to be a part of the Ryan Elementary School team and look forward to working with you and your student(s). I truly love counseling children! I am grateful for the opportunity to support each and every student across the pivotal elementary school years.
My Education and Professional Background
I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Missouri - Kansas City and my master's degree in Counseling from Arizona State University. My professional experience includes clinical counseling in the behavioral health field as well as teaching and counseling college students in two universities including ASU. I am a Nationally Board Certified Counselor, Certified School Counselor and a member of the American School Counselor Association.
My Counseling and Educational Philosophy
My counseling approach is strongly rooted in empathy and problem solving. First and foremost, I strive to understand and connect with each unique individual, focusing on strengths, to help children be adaptive and successful across a broad range of settings, both academically and socially. Children learn and grow best through strong, healthy relationships. My goal is to teach children to understand and master their thoughts, feelings and behaviors, to advocate for their own unique needs as students and people, and to partner with parents, teachers, and supportive adults to become engaged, successful, lifelong learners with a growth mindset and confident resilience.
