Counselors Corner

 

I’m Mrs. Gonzalez, and I am thrilled to be your school counselor! My role is to support each student in their personal, social, and academic development. At Maple, I am dedicated to providing a variety of services to ensure that every student feels supported, heard, and valued. One of the ways I do this is by offering small group sessions where students can come together to focus on building important life skills like emotional regulation, building healthy relationships, and fostering self-confidence. These groups allow students to connect with their peers in a safe and supportive environment, where they can share experiences and learn from one another.

In addition to small groups, I offer individualized support for students who may need more focused attention. Whether students are facing personal challenges, navigating difficult emotions, or simply need a listening ear, I am here to help them work through these moments. Together, we set goals and develop strategies to help them feel more confident and capable.

Another important aspect of my work at Maple is facilitating community circles. These circles help create a space where all students can come together, build trust, and practice empathy. By engaging in open, respectful discussions, students learn the value of listening to each other, supporting one another, and resolving conflicts in a healthy and constructive way.

I am deeply committed to helping each student at Maple succeed, not only academically but emotionally and socially as well. If you ever feel that your child could benefit from counseling or if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. I look forward to working alongside you to ensure your child has a fulfilling and positive school experience.

Warmly,
Mrs. Gonzalez
School Counselor
