Hello from the ES Counseling Team! We work with students, families, and teachers to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments.
Nicole Tessmer is our ES Psychologist and one of our School Counselors. As counselor, she provides counseling lessons and counseling support to our PreK classrooms and to Karlie Barness’s first grade classroom. As a School Psychologist, she collaborates and consults with parents and school staff to support students with a diverse range of academic, social-emotional and behavioral needs. This sometimes includes providing a psycho-educational evaluation to help determine if a student is in need of additional support at school.
Kate Kersey is our School Counselor who supports students in KG – Gr. 2. She provides classroom counseling lessons to these grades, works with students individually or in small groups, and consults with parents and teachers. Her lessons may cover such diverse topics as developing conflict resolution skills, problem-solving skills, and diversity and identity among others.
Doug Williamson is our School Counselor who supports students in Gr. 3 – 5. He provides classroom counseling lessons to these grades, works with students individually or in small groups, and consults with parents and teachers.
