My name is Bethany Roberson and I am the new School Counselor at Mt.Woodson! My husband and I moved here in December 2019 from Wilmington, NC--east coast beach town! My husband is active duty as a Navy Corpsman, which is why we moved. I am originally from Tennessee, which you'll be able to tell when I speak. I have over 4 years experience working as a School Counselor; all in Title 1 elementary schools. I have also worked as a Program Manager at a Day Treatment school for children with more severe behaviors. I love fitness & exercise (I do CrossFit, used to coach), I love to travel, and to EAT (it's my real passion).

As a School Counselor, my role at the school includes the following:

-Individual and Small Group counseling sessions (with parent permission)

-Classroom Social-Emotional Lessons

-Collaboration with school staff, parents, students, and community resources

-Conflict resolution, Problem solving, & Social Skills

-Securing additional resources for families in the community

-Supporting students, families, and school staff in every way that I can!

The School Counseling program is for ALL students. Support can be therapeutic, but the role of the School Counselor is not meant to diagnose or provide intensive or prolonged therapy. However, I can help refer your child to agencies that can provide more sustained & long-term support.

I love what I do and I'm here to support staff, students, and their families. If there is anything I can help you and your family with, please let me know. I look forward to working with you all!
