Mental Health Counselor

• May 2019 - Jun 2020

I serve in a school setting as a mental health counselor, available to the student population to provide crisis intervention as well as long-term therapy. My role is distinguished from a school counselor’s in that I focus exclusively on the mental health, social and interpersonal needs of the students rather than addressing academic, scheduling, or career-readiness issues. I manage a caseload of over twenty regular clients with issues ranging from anxiety and suicidal ideation to chronic and complex trauma. I partner with school counselors, social workers, and other support staff to advocate for my students with faculty and administrators. I am certified in the Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) model, Stewards of Children, and more. Show less
