  • Welcome to Miss Darling’s Counseling Corner!

    Washington School Families,

    My name is Teaghan Darling and I’m thrilled to be serving as your school counselor! I feel incredibly lucky to be part of such a caring and dedicated school community, and I look forward to working with you and your children.

    As the school counselor, my role is to support students' academic, social, emotional, and behavioral development. My goal is to make sure every child feels safe, heard, and valued, and that they have the skills they need to grow into confident learners.

    Supports Available:  

    • Classroom lessons on topics like friendship, empathy, emotional regulation, respect, responsibility, conflict/resolution, and more.

    • Small group counseling to help students build skills in necessary areas 

    • Individual counseling for students who need short-term, solution-focused support with specific concerns or challenges.

    • Crisis support and intervention for students experiencing urgent or serious difficulties.

    • Collaboration with teachers, staff, and families to create a positive and inclusive school environment where students can thrive.

    • Referral support when students and families need help connecting to outside mental health resources or community services.

    Please know I'm here to support your child in becoming the best version of themselves—both inside and outside the classroom!
