Throughout the year I work with students through classroom guidance lessons, groups, and individual counseling.
Classroom Guidance Lessons
I will visit each classroom multiple times throughout the school year and have the chance to interact with every student during these lessons. Lessons typically last 30 minutes in length and cover topics such as school readiness skills, understanding feelings of self and others, problem solving skills, bullying, friendship skills, and study skills.
Small Group Counseling
A variety of small groups are offered to students who may benefit from spending some extra time developing academic, social, or emotional skills along with their peers, and to students who are coping with similar life situations. Groups can have anywhere from 3-6 students. Parent permission is requested before a child can participate in a group.
Individual Counseling
Some students can benefit from one-on-one counseling regarding academic, social, or emotional challenge.
