The Student Support Counselor is a licensed mental health counselor (LPCC-S) who is available to all students. 

The goal of the counselor is to address anything (related to social/emotional or basic needs) that would serve as a barrier to learning and being successful in school. Typically these are acute issues that arise throughout the school day.

The counselor coordinates and assists with:

  • Addressing short-term social emotional issues through supportive counseling
  • Collaborates with staff and fields concerns about students
  • Conducting Risk assessments
  • Referrals to community resources to address things such as basic needs or more intensive mental health services
  • Coordinating building-wide social-emotional learning for students 9-12
