Therapeutic Counseling
Therapy is a journey of self-exploration empowerment and growth. Parkland Counselors provide a safe place to do this and help to strengthening your abilities to cope with emotional, interpersonal, and academic challenges.
The Counselors here at Parkland offer free therapy for all current students on an individual or group basis. Individual sessions can be held in-person or via Microsoft Teams. Groups meet in-person unless otherwise noted.
