How Do I Meet With My Counselor?

Students are assigned to a counselor alphabetically by last name.  To find out who your counselor is, please visit the Meet Your Counselors page. ​Referrals may be made by the student, parent/guardian, or teacher.  Students may make an appointment to meet with their counselor by completing a conference request form available in the counseling office, by email, or by Schoology message.  Parents/guardians may contact a counselor by email or by phone, at (304) 229-1962, to schedule an appointment.

Confidentiality

A student’s right to privacy and confidentiality is the basis for an effective counseling relationship. A school counselor's primary obligation for confidentiality is to the student, but this obligation is balanced with an understanding of parents'/guardians' legal and inherent right to guide and make decisions on their student's behalf. ​Confidentiality ensures that school counselors won’t share students’ disclosures with others except when the student or parent/guardian authorizes it or when there is an evident danger to the student and/or to other persons.

Counseling Services

If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, please call 911 or visit Berkeley Medical Center for emergency services.  For a list of behavioral and mental health resources and contacts, take a look at the Berkeley County Resource Guide (counseling contacts on page 2).
