***School counselors provide support for students who's social-emotional needs are impacting their educational attainments or their peer interactions. School counselors are not licensed therapists. The school counselor can check-up on students experiencing emotional difficulties, but will refer out to community-based mental health services for on-going therapy. Therapeutic needs (such as coping with major life changes, or managing severe anxiety or depression) are best addressed by mental health therapists. Our Family Advocate can help with accessing community mental health services.
