Personal Counseling

We provide classroom presentations or small group forums on topics including Suicide Prevention, Substance Abuse and Addiction, Stress Management, and Healthy Relationships.

The majority of support we provide to students is on an individual basis. Students are referred to our department themselves or by parents, faculty/staff, or through concerns of peers. Depending on the level of support needed, students may meet weekly, biweekly, monthly, or on an as needed basis with their assigned counselor.

Common issues discussed in counseling include: Academic Support/Time Management, Adjustment Issues, Anxiety/Stress Management, Emotional Regulation, Depression/Mood, Family Issues (Divorce/Blended Families), Grief/Bereavement/Loss, Peer/Relationship Issues, Self-Care, and Self-Esteem. 

The Personal Counseling Department works collaboratively with outside mental health professionals to help make recommendations about a student’s risk to self and/or others in order to keep them safe and get the help and support they may need. 

Crisis intervention includes: Suicidal Ideation/Self-Injurious Behaviors, Harm to Others, and/or Reports of Abuse or Assault (sexual or physical).

The Personal Counseling Department strives to do all we can to ensure that your student has the best high school experience possible. We are available to collaborate and are willing to provide information or make referrals to resources in the community that may benefit your student and/or family.
