About Mrs. Mitchell
This is my 3rd year as a Professional School Counselor and I have a lot of experience working with children in various school settings and as a collegiate softball coach. I graduated from Columbus State University with an M.Ed in School Counseling and certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. I enjoy spending time with my family, love Georgia football, the New York Yankees and my pup, Jeter.
I absolutely love helping my students navigate through conflicts or just being a positive re-enforcer. My job/goal as a Professional School Counselor is to help every one of my student's feel safe and comfortable while attending Blackmon Road Middle School. I currently work with students through individual counseling, small group counseling, classroom guidance, conflict resolution and school-wide activities. In addition to, I work with parents, teachers, administrators and community members to help with any of my students and their needs. If you are in need of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me via email or phone. |
