I am a counselor working with students who want to improve their lives. I offer a safe and supportive environment in which students can tell me anything at all about themselves. I will listen to what they have to say and help them find solutions to problems they are encountering. Students' safety and privacy are of the utmost importance to me and I will do all I can to honor their trust in me. Focus I am Solution-Oriented in my counseling, which means I help students/parents find ways to make wanted changes such as breaking free of old patterns, and focusing on new ways of doing things today. It's a simple approach - if what you are doing is not working, try something different. Confidentiality Students and parents have the right to expect that any information revealed in the therapy setting will remain private. I will not disclose anything they say without their permission. The only exceptions to this promise are the following:
