How Does the Counseling Process Work?

Counseling is conducted with students individually and in small groups when requested and determined appropriate. 

It is short-term, voluntary, and a confidential service aimed at enhancing a student’s school success, not to provide psychotherapy. 

Parental permission is obtained prior to any extended individual or group counseling. 

Students are seen by the counselor when:

• Parents request and indicate a need and desire that the counselor meet with their student.
• Students request counseling.
• Teachers, administrators, or other school staff refers the student.

Benefits of Counseling:

• Success in school
• Develop positive feelings of self
• Develop communication skills
• Learn to cope with changes
• Recognize cause and effect their actions have
• Take responsibility for their own behavior
