What is School Counseling?

Individual Counseling is a short-term, one-on-one meeting where students can talk privately about academic, social, or emotional concerns.
Group Counseling brings 4–6 students together who share a common goal (friendship skills, study habits, confidence, managing emotions, etc.). Groups meet for a set number of sessions during non-core class times.

Our goal: help every Warhawk feel safe, supported, and successful at school.

• Friendship & communication skills
• Confidence & self-esteem

Confidentiality

Conversations are private unless there is a safety concern (someone is in danger or could be). I’ll always keep families informed when it’s helpful for student success.
