Individual Counseling:
Individual Counseling is a one-to-one meeting with the counselor to discuss a problem or topic of interest that may be affecting their academic success. Friendship issues, worries, conflict resolution, difficulty coming to school, grief, and anger management are frequent issues facing children.
During sessions, students might:
· talk about things that are important to them
· role play situations
· work on a plan to reach a goal
· read stories that will help them learn and understand more about themselves
· use the counseling office as a safe place to calm down when feeling upset
· play games to learn ways to relate to others
Referrals for students to meet with a school counselor can be made by classroom teachers, administration, parents, or through student self-referrals. Self-referral forms are available for all students in grades 3-5, and can be obtained from the student’s teacher. Parents are welcome to call or e-mail the counselors at any time to request individual counseling for their child. While students may see us at any time for brief discussions, parental permission must be granted in order for a counselor to work with a student for a series of multiple, planned sessions.
*While we provide many services for students and their families, we are unable to testify in child custody matters. We are also unable to provide intensive, long-term counseling services to students.*
