Welcome to Wellness with Counselor Michelle

Michelle Vigil Specialists School Counselor

Teaching Philosophy

I aim to help students succeed in their learning and future goals; academically, socially/ emotionally, and personally. Throughout the year, I team up with the staff to work with students individually, in small groups, and in the classroom. In these different settings, I will be implementing strategies and activities to help students enhance their development through academics, social/emotional learning, and personally looking at mindsets/behaviors to be successful in the present and in the future. My favorite thing about counseling is helping students reach their maximum potential and guiding students to thrive. Everyone has a story and everyone has something this world needs.
