Providing Help

School counselors provide short-term, solution-focused counseling sessions, where students develop healthy coping mechanisms and create individual wellness goals.

If additional mental health support is recommended or requested, school counselors can refer students and families to community providers, such as therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists.

We want all students to feel confident, comfortable, and supported prioritizing their mental health the same way they would take care of a broken bone.- Caroline Hedde, Director of Counseling Services

Education & Events

The counseling team hosts multiple campus-wide events throughout the year dedicated to mental health awareness and community wellness. Check out some of the most recent highlights!

Outside Appointments

If you need additional support outside of school counseling, we will work with you to find an outside provider that meets your emotional needs. That might be professional therapist, clinical psychologist, or psychiatrist. It can be hard knowing where to start, but you will have support along your way.

If you already have a mental health provider, we can work with them to support your needs and treatment goals at school. If you see your therapist virtually, you can reserve a room in the SHWC where you will have access to a quiet, confidential space.
