School Counseling vs. Therapy

School Counseling vs. Therapy

While students may meet one-on-one with their school counselor, this is not the same as receiving therapy. Individual meetings with the school counselor are intended to be short-term with the goal of improving school functioning. Therapy with a private clinician (outside of school) is longer-term, more in-depth, and supports the general well-being of students and their families both inside of school and out.
