Your Counsellor

Guidance Professionals offer career advising/counselling and personal counselling. We commonly deal with students’ social-emotional challenges that interfere with a student’s functioning at school. We facilitate personal growth through transitions (e.g., orientation to high school, of new students, planning for graduation and options after high school) and counsel students regarding adaptive vs. maladaptive coping behaviors.

Due to increased mental health needs of students, we often refer to outside services for long-term support. We are often in the position of on-site crisis intervention and liaison with school personnel and outside sources. We do not offer psychotherapy, but rather provide socio-emotional interventions.
