• Welcome to School Counseling!

    At Amherst Elementary School, the school counseling program is designed to support the development and well-being of our students. Our program focuses on social-emotional learning (SEL), academics, and college/careers to help our students reach their fullest potential. We deliver these services in a classroom setting, small groups, or individually. We are champions for children!

    Mrs. Torres is available for students Monday through Friday. This is her third year (after taking a year off) at Amherst and she is so excited about making new connections & reconnecting with all the Amherst families! Please reach out to courteney.torres@knoxschools.org to chat with her! 

    Mrs. Corrier is new to Amherst but has been a School Counselor for over 7 years! She is available for students on Thursday and Fridays starting in January. She is excited about joining the Amherst Counseling Department! Please reach out to kelsey.corrier@knoxschools.org to chat with her! 

    Our Services to Students

    Classroom Counseling: Each class will see the school counselor for a special lesson on social/emotional needs, academics, or college/career needs in a classroom setting.

    Individual Counseling: Students can receive short-term counseling sessions to assist them with any issues that prohibit them from being successful in the classroom.

    Small Groups: The School Counselor offers several different small groups throughout the year. These groups consist of 3-5 students who are all working toward a common goal.
