The Counseling & Wellness Center is a place where students can find support, connection, and a safe space to navigate the many experiences that come with being a high school student. Students may meet with a counselor for a wide range of reasons, including managing stress or anxiety, navigating friendships and relationships, adjusting to boarding school, coping with homesickness or difficult transitions, working through roommate or academic challenges, or simply having someone to talk to. Our team of counselors is available throughout the school day, with additional evening support through our on-call system. We also recognize that supporting a student takes a community, and we partner closely with teachers, coaches, advisors, dorm staff, and families to understand and support the whole child.

Our work extends beyond helping students through challenging moments; we want to help them develop the self-awareness, resilience, and skills they need to flourish. We encourage students to better understand their individual experiences of mental health and wellness, recognize how stress affects their mind and body, and develop healthy ways to regulate their nervous system and navigate life’s inevitable ups and downs. We value strong partnerships with parents and families and believe that collaboration between home and school is an important part of helping students grow. When a student’s needs extend beyond the short-term counseling support we provide at school, we work alongside families to identify trusted community providers and additional resources that can offer more specialized or ongoing care. Our goal is to help every student feel supported, understood, and equipped to care for themselves and grow into their fullest potential.
