What Can a School Counselor Do? |
Confidentiality |
Individual Counseling
|
Confidentiality is very important in counseling. I believe that each student and their families deserve to be treated with the deepest respect and discretion. Confidentiality goes two ways and you also play a large part in this. I will guard your privacy as much as permitted by law.
There are three main areas in which I am required by law to break confidentiality.

Elgin/New Leipzig School Counseling Mission |
School Counseling vs. Mental Health Counseling |
To promote a safe and positive educational environment while developing life-long learning skills utilizing academic, career, and personal/social domains of the American School Counseling Association (ASCA).
|
While school counselors are trained in many of the same aspects as private practice Mental Health Counselors, our role is very different in that we are not solely focused on mental health. We are educators who provide a onsite resource to support and prepare students for Academic, Career, & Post-Secondary life.
