School counselors do not provide therapy or long-term counseling in schools to address psychological disorders. However, school counselors are prepared to recognize and respond to student mental health crises and needs. School counselors address those barriers to student success by offering education, prevention and crisis and short-term intervention to include group counseling until the student is connected with available community resources. When students require long-term counseling or therapy, school counselors make referrals to appropriate community resources (ASCA, 2019).
The above-link will share with you an excel sheet highlighting nearly 20 agency/providers in or around our region, their contact information, accepted payment types, services provided, and other relevant information to help you make the best choice to support your child/adolescent. This is NOT to be considered an all-inclusive list of resources or supports. These providers returned an information form earlier this school year agreeing to be listed in our resources for families. All information outlined was given directly from the service provider. Please note that information can be changed at any time without notice. For current and up-to-date information, it is encouraged that you contact the provider directly.
