Counseling

Dear Chief Joseph Families,

My name is Miranda Mahorney and I’m your child’s school counselor. This is my 2^nd year at CJ and my 15^th year as an elementary school counselor.

A little about my school counseling program- I’m considered a specialist and will teach your child, K-6^th grade, weekly 30 min. school counseling lessons. These lessons are district approved.  The main curriculums I will be teaching are Character Strong and Second Step. See my schedule of lesson topics.  As a parent, I want transparency as to what is being taught to my child. You may reach out to me and come see any/all of my lessons. I will send a parent letter out prior to any sensitive lessons being taught to your child such as Personal Safety lessons.

I also meet with students in small grade-level groups to work on social skills, once a week during lunch. Students are referred by teachers and or parents. Parent permission is required.

Please note – I am not a mental health therapist and will not be providing  therapy to your child. However, I can help refer parents to community resources.

I look forward to working with your child this year!

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.
