    Individual Counseling

    Students can request to see me by filling out a slip from the "feelings can" located in each classroom.  I also see students as a result of a teacher or parent request.  During individual meetings with students,  I can help children understand and accept themselves, cope with family changes and/or family crises, develop decision making skills, conflict resolution skills, anger management techniques, and problem solving strategies.  The following are just a few examples of the situations in which school counselors can help their students:

    • My parents are getting a divorce. I am scared about what is happening to our family.
    • My best friend and I seem to be fighting a lot lately. We just can't seem to get along.
    • I am the new student here at school and I am afraid that I just won't fit in.
    • My parents are fighting a lot more than they used to, is it something I did?
    • My father just lost his job and everyone at home seems so upset all of the time.
    • I have been having nightmares lately and it takes me so long to fall asleep at night.
    • My grandmother passed away.
    • Mommy just had a new baby and that baby is ruining everything!
    • I do my homework, but I can't seem to remember to bring it with me to school.
    • I am worried about my friend. She's been acting strangely lately.
    • Tommy told me that if I didn't give him my lunch money again today I'd be sorry!
