“Not all children grow from infancy through their adolescent years without experiencing some bumps along the way. While every child is unique and special, sometimes they encounter emotions, feelings or behaviors that cause problems in their lives and the lives of those around them.”
The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (2009)

School Counseling

Sometimes it can be tough being a kid. There are many challenges and problems. Perhaps another student is bullying you and making life miserable. Or maybe someone you love or your pet just died and it is really tough to concentrate on school work. Sometimes your struggles with math, English or history can seem overwhelming. At times like these, it is good to know that your school counselor is there to help. It is a counselor’s job to listen, take your problem seriously and help you find a solution.

We provide professional counseling for students and their families at many of the parochial schools within the diocese. Our role is to help students recognize and deal with problems in school or in their personal life.  We encourage parents to be actively involved in counseling services that can benefit their children.

Our counselors have advanced degrees in counseling or related field and are able to identify special needs of children and families, and are able to provide appropriate referrals to community resources.
