- Proactive and preventative small group counseling that focuses on various topics related to social-emotional learning, personal growth, and character development. Group topics are determined by the needs of the grade level, and nominations are made with teacher, counselor, or parent requests. Groups typically meet once a week for about 8-10 weeks. Examples of group topics are:
- Short Term Individual Counseling
- School counseling is meant to be short-term, with a focus on an issue that impacts the student’s ability to learn and be at school. Students, families, or teachers can refer students for short-term individual counseling. Topics can be similar to small groups, but more individualized. I am happy to provide outside referrals to families whose needs cannot be met with school counseling.
- Peer Mediation
- Students can self-refer by filling out a counselor slip, or teachers/ parents may also refer.
