The School Counseling Book I Wish I’d Had Since Day One

After years of working as a school counselor, training graduate students, supervising counselors, and speaking with thousands of educators across the country, one thing became clear:

School counselors are expected to know everything—but very few of us were ever given a practical guide for the realities of the job.

That's why I wrote What Every School Counselor Needs to Know.

This isn't another book filled with theory. It's a practical, brain-based resource designed to help you navigate the everyday challenges of school counseling with greater confidence. Inside, you'll find real-world examples, ready-to-use tools, and step-by-step counseling sequences for the five most common issues school counselors encounter, so you'll know exactly what to say and do when students walk through your door.

Whether you're preparing for your very first year or you've been doing this work for decades, you'll find strategies you can put into practice immediately.

Inside you'll discover:

• Step-by-step counseling sequences for the five most common student concerns

• Practical, brain-based strategies that work in real schools

• Time-saving tools, frameworks, and interventions

• Real-life examples you can learn from

• Encouragement and guidance from someone who understands the job because I've lived it

My hope is that this becomes the book you keep within arm's reach all year long—the one you turn to whenever you need practical guidance, fresh ideas, or a reminder that you're not alone in this work.

Thank you for everything you do for students. I hope this book serves you as faithfully as you've served them.
