St. Timothy School's Counseling Program Mission Statement

Saint Timothy's Counseling Program assists students with their academic, social/emotional and vocational needs using a child-centered approach that focuses on students' strengths and abilities. The program's services are designed to remove the barriers to academic achievement and promote student success. Services are available for all St. Timothy's students, not just those with identified academic or emotional needs.

The goals of our counseling program include:

~Address the students' social and emotional needs and foster student success with individual and group counseling sessions, behavioral interventions, and mediations.

~Teach students skills and techniques that will enable them to become independent learners, enhance their social relationships, improve their interactions with others, explore their vocational interests, and deepen their spiritual life
