Individual Counseling

Every student at Collier High School works with a designated counselor for individual counseling. Each student receives individual counseling three times per month as noted in their IEP. Students can make additional requests as needed

Our counseling staff are all Master's level licensed professionals. Our Counselors licensure includes LAC, LPC, LSW, and LCSW. Counselors participate in weekly clinical supervision with their identified supervisor.

Our counselors use a person-in-environment and strengths based approach with each student.

Our counselors use a variety of therapeutic approaches including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solutions Focused Therapy, Relational Therapy, Sandtray/Play Therapy Techniques, and Crisis Intervention/De-Escalation Skills.

Each student will create goals and work with their counselor in sessions to meet their unique goals.

Our clinical staff works closely with the school staff including teachers, administration, psychiatrist, and other professionals.  The counselor will make referrals when needed for additional therapeutic or academic supports.

Our counselors participate in all meetings related to their specific students to act as a support, advocate, and therapeutic resource to the student.  They will serve as the point person for each student and their parent/guardian/sending school district.

Additionally, we have a SAC/LCADC within our social service department who provides support to any students with substance use concerns.
