• According to the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), school counselors are certified/licensed educators who improve student success for ALL students by implementing a comprehensive school counseling program.

Social & Emotional Counseling

Our Professional School counselors are committed to supporting students’ social/emotional needs. As advocates for students, school counselors promote a positive environment that enhances students’ ability to properly manage the social/emotional demands of their lives. School counselors use appropriate methods to promote a school environment designed to propel students toward positive mindsets and behaviors supporting social/emotional development through direct (e.g., classroom curriculum, group counseling and individual counseling) and indirect (e.g., collaborating or consulting with staff, families or communities) services.
