• 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, in small groups, or individually. We are champions for children!

    Mrs. Torres is available for students Monday through Friday. This is her fourth year at Amherst and she is looking forward to a great 25-26 school year!     Please reach out to courteney.torres@knoxschools.org to chat with her! 

    Mrs. Kelsey is excited to be with the Sharks for a second year! She is available for students on Thursday and Fridays each week. 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.
