As the School Adjustment Counselor, Lisa provides therapeutic intervention for students across
regular education and special education programs. Lisa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker
with a background in working with adolescents in therapeutic and residential school settings.
At Oliver Ames, students receive adjustment counseling services if their social and/or emotional
difficulties are significant enough to directly impact their ability to function in the school
environment.
Students may see Lisa by appointment, or seek her out as needed in a psychological
crisis. Services include consultation with parents, teachers and other faculty, as well as
mental health providers working with the adolescent outside of school. The main goal is
always to help students learn how to cope with their difficult emotions in order to be the
best students they can be. Some examples of things that students might work on with Lisa
are: frustration about the learning process, social conflicts, grief and loss, family stressors,
and managing the symptoms of anxiety and depression in school.
