A little bit about me
 

My name is Alisha Porter and I am the School Counselor at Longfellow and Robert Frost Elementary schools.  This is my fifth year working in the Westerville City School District. 

Being the School Counselor

My role as the School Counselor is to help meet the academic, career, and social/emotional needs of all students.  I can address these needs in various ways including:

*Individual & Small group counseling

*Consulting & collaborating with parents, staff, and administrators
*Family Engagement

Some of the most common issues that I address with elementary students include:

*Friendship & Social Skills
*Family/Divorce
*Stress & Anger Management
*Grief & Loss
*Teasing/Bullying/Gossiping
*Anxiety
*Crisis Intervention
