Individual Counseling
School counselors meet with students individually to facilitate their growth and development through the exploration of feelings and issues that are impacting their life. Students can request “talk time” with me by completing a form that is located in their classrooms or by asking their teacher. Parents and teachers can also refer a student for individual counseling. As a school counselor, I do not provide therapy to students.
Small Group Counseling
Small group counseling (also known as “lunch bunch”) is a great way for students to learn together and develop a variety of skills in a small group setting. Students bring their lunch to my office where they learn skills in a fun environment! Common topics for small group are: social skills, anger management, mindfulness, coping skills and friendship.
Classroom Lessons
Large group instruction offers an opportunity to provide support to the largest number of students in the school. This is one of my favorite things to do because I truly value the “face time” I get with all the students. Lessons presented are developmentally appropriate for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Topics include: conflict resolution, managing our emotions, anti bullying, including others, various social skills, mindfulness and career exploration.
