My name is Karen Zimmerman. This is my 8th year as a school counselor in Berkeley County. I was an itinerant school counselor for Orchard View Intermediate and Berkeley Heights Elementary for 5 years prior to becoming a full-time counselor at Berkeley Heights. Please feel free to contact me anytime you feel I can be of assistance with difficulties your child may be experiencing.
