Mental Health Counseling

Licensed treatment professionals from the community provide on-site (at school) confidential counseling for students concerning adolescent life, post-traumatic stress, family systems, emotional regulation, anxiety, social engagement, substance abuse, behavioral disorders, depression, grief and loss, or mood disorders. This on-site service allows students to receive professional counseling without having to leave school or having a parent/guardian miss work to transport the child to appointments.
