Counselor

Services

Guidance and Counseling services are provided by a licensed mental health professional. Students, parents, teachers, and staff may consult with the counselor on a confidential basis. School Counselors provide the following counseling services:

• Classroom guidance lessons
• Small groups: Opportunities to help students develop various skills in a smaller group setting.
• 1:1 Support: Addresses immediate student needs upon referral 
• Community resources and outside referrals

All school counselors follow the Ethical Standards for School Counselors, based on the American School Counselors’ Association guidelines. As the school counselor, I am obligated to hold in confidence, information received from students, family members, guardians, and staff members, with several restrictions based on safety issues.

If your or your child has an immediate need for help, please feel free to call the New Mexico Crisis Assistance Line (NMCAL) at 1-855-662-7474. If you are having a life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately.
