Ms. Sheffield’s School Counseling Philosophy:

Elementary school is a crucial time for children to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. The methods used in my school counseling program are beneficial to so many life skills, such as: 

• communication skills 

• decision-making skills

• self-regulation skills

• team-building skills

• a positive self-image

• an optimistic outlook for the future

• goal-setting 

• an awareness of their unique gifts, characteristics, and needs

• and a desire to learn and achieve academically
