What listeners are saying

As a veteran educator of 25 years, full-time school counselor (and licensed therapist), I am passionate about advocating not only for children’s mental health, but for more stability and access to healthy school counselors within equitable and ethical systems. 

And healthy school counselors require realistic systems and expectations.

As the founder of School for School Counselors and host of the School for School Counselors Podcast, I work every week to bring you real-world truth and insights with a heaping dose of empowerment, advocacy and motivation to all my amazing school counseling colleagues and friends.

Hi, I'm Steph!

I believe in the POWER of school counselors-

and that we are stronger- and smarter!-
together.
