Classroom Guidance
Large group guidance covers a broad spectrum of topics in academic, personal/social, and career domains. The goal of large group guidance is to address the developmental needs of all students.
Small Groups
Small group counseling is an opportunity for students to work together to explore ideas, attitudes, and behaviors, in order to develop academically and socially. This service is available for students in need of additional support from the school counselor and peers who are facing a similar situation. Groups are usually organized through referral or identification of a common area for growth.
Individual Counseling
Counseling is available on an individual basis for students whose needs require a private and confidential setting. Individual counseling sessions can address concerns in the academic, social/emotional, behavioral, and career domains. Individual counseling assists students in identifying problems, causes, alternatives, and possible consequences so they can take appropriate action. Individual school counseling is short-term in nature. When necessary, referrals are made to local community counseling resources.
Consultation and Coordination
Our school counselor consults and collaborates with parents, guardians, teachers, other educators, and community agencies regarding strategies to assist students and families.
