  • Our counselors use a person-in-environment and strengths based approach with each student.

  • Our counselors use a variety of therapeutic approaches including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solutions Focused Therapy, Relational Therapy, Sandtray/Play Therapy Techniques, and Crisis Intervention/De-Escalation Skills.

  • Each student will create goals and work with their counselor in sessions to meet their unique goals.

  • Our clinical staff works closely with the school staff including teachers, administration, psychiatrist, and other professionals.  The counselor will make referrals when needed for additional therapeutic or academic supports.

  • Our counselors participate in all meetings related to their specific students to act as a support, advocate, and therapeutic resource to the student.  They will serve as the point person for each student and their parent/guardian/sending school district.

  • Additionally, we have a SAC/LCADC within our social service department who provides support to any students with substance use concerns.
