COUNSELING CONTACT INFORMATION:
I will be at SPN part-time this year: Currently Mondays, Wednesdays, & Thursdays (with some flexibility). If these days do not work for you, please contact me so that we can work something out.
My direct office number: 456-3456 .
HOW TO BE REFERRED FOR COUNSELING:
If any student is having any problems, please do not hesitate to contact me. Students can ask to see me themselves, ask their parents to contact me, or ask their teachers. Parents and teachers can email me, fill out a referral form in the office, or call me.
GROUPS:
I will again facilitate several therapeutic/support groups throughout the year. These groups will focus on issues such as parental divorce, grief and loss, and anxiety. Please let me know if you are interested in your child participating in any such group.
CLASSROOM VISITS:
I will be visiting classrooms and addressing various issues such as bullying, coping skills, body image, study skills, and self-esteem.
OUTSIDE COUNSELING:
If anyone is interested in seeking mental
health counseling outside of the school, please feel free to contact me for referral information or visit the link on this website. EDUCATIONAL EVALUATIONS
If anyone has recently been evaluated by a
psychologist, please share a copy of the evaluation with me before school starts if possible or as soon as you receive a copy of the evaluation to ensure that
teachers receive relevant information (such as classroom accommodations) to help your child succeed in the classroom. PROJECT FLEUR DE LIS
Project Fleur de Lis is a program through Mercy Family Center that provides eductional evaluations, psychological testing/evaluations, individual and family therapy, and psychiatric services to students attentding participating schools (like St.Philip Neri). Services for this program are no longer free, but Project Fleur-de-lis is using a sliding scale fee. They accept private insurance and medicaid as well. Students must be referred through St. Philip Neri School. Please contact me for more information.
CELEBRATE CALM RESOURCES
Kirk Martin's program, Celebrate Calm, presented to
SPN faculty and parents in 2009 was so helpful that SPN has purchased the CD
series that parents can now check out. The program is designed to
help: -- Create a calm home & eliminate yelling, arguing, and stress -- Help your kids be responsible for their attitudes and actions -- Build confidence, social skills, and motivation --
Help create less stressful mornings, homework time, and bedtime. In addition to the Calm Kids Parenting Program outlined above, the set includes Brain Boosters for School Success, Stop Defiance & Disrespect Now, Straight Talk for Dads, and Calm Couples Marriage Makeover.
SMART DISCIPLINE WORKSHOP:
The Smart Discipline presentation was very successful and extremely informative. The school has purchased some materials that can be checked out. Please contact me about for information.
