Classroom Lessons

We visit classrooms regularly to teach engaging, age-appropriate lessons that help students build essential life skills. These lessons cover topics such as emotional awareness, problem-solving, friendship, empathy, self- regulation, and career exploration. Our goal is to help students develop strong character, make thoughtful choices, and build positive relationships.

Small Groups

We also lead small group sessions for students who may benefit from extra support in specific areas. These groups meet during the school day and focus on: 

Emotional regulation
Coping strategies
Friendship and social skills
Building self-esteem
Managing anxiety and big feelings

Small groups provide a safe and supportive space for students to connect with peers, learn new strategies, and grow together.

Individual Check-ins

We meet one-on-one with students to offer support when they’re facing challenges, celebrating successes, or simply need someone to talk to. These check-ins are confidential and tailored to each student’s needs, helping them feel heard, understood, and empowered.

The Importance of SEL

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is at the heart of everything we do as school counselors. SEL helps students develop the skills they need to understand and manage their emotions, build positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.

Through SEL, students learn how to:
Recognize and express their feelings in healthy ways
Set personal and academic goals
Show empathy and kindness toward others
Resolve conflicts peacefully
Make thoughtful, respectful choices

We incorporate SEL into our classroom lessons, small groups, and individual check-ins to help students grow into confident, caring, and resilient individuals. These skills not only support success in school—they’re essential for life!

We’re here to help every student thrive—inside and outside the classroom. If you ever have questions or want to learn more about how we support students, feel free to reach out!
