Saint Mary School works with Counseling Partners of Los Angeles to provide individual and group counseling to students. There are numerous reasons why students may want to speak to a counselor such as:

• anxiety

• depression

• stress management difficulties

• anger management difficulties

• attention difficulties

• difficulty adjusting to school

• parental divorce

• peer/family relationships

• grief/loss

Counselors work with students to address their feelings and help them achieve their goals. Counselors can also work with parents to improve communication and provide interventions and guidance. Counseling services are free of charge. Parents and school staff may refer a student at any point via a verbal request or written referral. Students may also self-refer at any point. Below are the links to the referral forms:

In order for a student to be seen by a counselor, parents/guardians must complete the consent form which can be found in the Documents section of the school website and mobile app. We highly encourage all parents/guardians to fill out a consent form at the beginning of the school year so it is on file; this expedites the process and allows counselors to see students much faster if needed. Parents/guardians will be informed of student referrals and will work in partnership with the school counselors to best support students. This is a critical service offered to our students and we hope that families will see this as an opportunity to support the social, emotional, academic, and spiritual development of their children. Please contact the school office or one of the school counselors with any questions.​
