Hello, My name is Ms. Taylor. I am a Professional School Counselor, with a well-rounded amount of knowledge in motivation, inspiration and 32 plus years in counseling. 

As a School Counselor, I perform the following roles in order to promote positive development in academic, career, and personal/social domains:

• MTSS Coordinator
• 504 Plan Coordinator
• PBIS Member
• Individual counseling
• Small group counseling
• Classroom guidance (i.e. Large group counseling)
• Conduct workshops 
• Attend and participate in academic intervention meetings
• Observe students in various school environments
• Consult and collaborate with parents, teachers, administrators,school nurse, social workers, and students
• Respond to school crises or emergency situations
• Provide information and resources to parents on a variety of issues

Bullying can become a big issue in schools if it’s not stopped right away. I encourage students to report bullying before it gets out of hand and fights start. Students must report bullying on the bus, to the teacher, office and to me as soon as possible. Parents may also report bullying.

The following types of therapy are used in the school counseling program: play therapy, client centered therapy, behavior therapy, and cognitive intervention therapy. I prefer individual counseling because students are more focused when they are not with their peers.

Please contact me if you are interested in working with programs at our school.  We need volunteers and parents to get involved in our school. I can be reached by phone at 252-826-4413 or email at taylorj@sn.halifax.k12.nc.us.

We believe that instuctional competency and educational best practices in the classroom are critical factors in reaching individual student potential.

We believe in providing culturally competent services to the students, their families and stakeholders.
